The only real objection was that "because Eastenders exists as a tv show within the Doctor Who Universe the characters can't interact with then". What a load of crap that is. That removes Assimilation2 from the DWU. Actually that removes Doctor Who ITSELF as anyone who has seen ''Remembrance of the Daleks'' would deuce from your so-called "discussion". | The only real objection was that "because Eastenders exists as a tv show within the Doctor Who Universe the characters can't interact with then".

The BBC regards DWU as being official and part of THEIR "Doctor Who Universe". Clearly what YOU consider to be a "Doctor Who Universe" it COMPLETE:Y different to the way the BBC use the term. You still haven't adequately explained the way that you actually do use the term! But then the few times you did adequately explain your rationale, you immediately contradicted it!! To paraphrase Paul Cornell's oft-cited blog....''If you say something is or isn't part of the Doctor Who Universe, you're yelling a battle cry, not stating the truth. Because there is no truth here to find. And you're trying to assume an authority that you do not have. In the end, you're just bullying people''' | The BBC regards DWU as being official and part of THEIR "Doctor Who Universe".

:I regret that you feel alienated by our decision making process. However, the only way we have of making decisions is to start a discussion and hope that people will join in. If they don't, then we can only go with what obtains in that discussion. This is a standard practice across all wikis, and is not really peculiar to us. If you dislike this method, it's entirely possible that wiki editing may not be for you. | :I regret that you feel alienated by our decision making process.
