I was reading some stuff on Rose Tyler and in the behind the scenes section there was a note that said"Billie Piper will return as Rose in series 5". Where the heck did someone get that info and is it true?

First, please sign your posts with four tildes (~).
It's worth learning how to use a wiki so you can find these things out for yourself, so I'll go over the steps. (You'll have to go to http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=Rose_Tyler&oldid=376699 to see the article as it was at the time.)
First, and simplest, the little [1][2] next to the sentence means there are two sources. Click either number, and it'll take you to the link in the Footnotes section. You can then click on the link and see for yourself where they got the info.
Second, if you see something questionable, it's always worth clicking the Discussion tab (unless it's red, which means there's no discussion) and skimming through to see if anyone's talked about it. In this case, the last section on the Talk page, Talk:Rose Tyler#Series 5, talks about it.
Finally, if you want to know who added the info (and they didn't say on the Talk page), you can use the History feature to find out. In this case, the information was added by an anonymous editor on 23 May 2010 in this edit.
Anyway, since the sources here are 9-month-old rumors that have never been substantiated again that are almost certainly referring to TV: The Beast Below, which already aired with no Rose, I removed it. --Falcotron 19:12, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
It could be that this scene with Rose will appear in The Big Bang. 115.69.5.221 13:59, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
  • looks at comment above and smacks face* What the hell is it with Doctor Who fans ad wantig characters to return over and over and over and over again? She is never coming back, her story was finished, the RTD era is over. There is a whole new building set of characters forming now i.e. Eleven, River, Amy, Rory. More recurring characters will come over time for this era. Delton Menace 03:26, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
