This article is better than it used to be, but it still needs to be cleaned up. We need to get rid of examples that really have nothing to do with the article. For example, the following quotation: | This article is better than it used to be, but it still needs to be cleaned up. We need to get rid of examples that really have nothing to do with the article.

:In ''[[Flesh and Stone]]'', the first joke is between The Doctor and [[River Song]] as they're standing on the beach. The Doctor asks River about the identity of the man she was sent to [[Stormcage]] for killing and he asks, "Who?" It turns out she was actually sent to prison for killing The Doctor. The second joke is when [[Amy Pond|Amy]] wants to have a one night stand with The Doctor, so as they're sitting on her bed she tells him, "I was alone in the dark and I nearly died. It made me think...about what I want. About ''who'' I want." | :In ''[[Flesh and Stone]]'', the first joke is between The Doctor and [[River Song]] as they're standing on the beach.

Aside from the fact that it's poorly written, it seems to me that neither example is truly an example of the running joke.

{{Quote|Both times "who" is in reference to The Doctor. The first is a joke because The Doctor is answering his own question, the second is blatantly about him and funny because The Doctor doesn't realize this.|75.141.226.87}} | |||
Because of this opposition, I've decided to ask the public. Anyone else have a counter-argument (or an argument '''for''' my case)?

:Please, someone comment on this. I find this article to be really inconsistent on what it includes. It needs a major clean-up, but, first, we need to discuss what should and what shouldn't be included on this page.
