#Colleyd 18:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)Woof. ''(We haven't had a Technology based FA yet)''
#[[User:Hellabore|Hellabore]]: Great article, I expanded finally to featured article status.
==== Object ====
#[[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 06:26, 31 July 2008 (UTC) a lot of the sections can be expanded upon also uses a lot of info from wikipedia. should be based on quality of article not whether we have had a technology FA before.
#'''[[User:CzechOut|<span style="background:blue;color:white">Czech</span><span style="background:red;color:white">Out</span>]]'''  [[User talk:CzechOut|☎]] | [[Special:Contributions/CzechOut|<font size="+1">✍</font>]] 19:08, 15 April 2009 (UTC) Several of the sections are in present tense, against MOS.  This needs to be corrected before it can pass FA review.  On a more minor note, it needs references for the assertion the acronym means "Dimensions".  I'm sure it did happen but we need specific citations for incidents after ''The Time Meddler''.  Of especial help would be pointing out moments when the Doctor did it, versus one of his companions.
:::Okay, I've worked on this a while today, and while I think the article is now all in the right tense, it's so very far away from containing near enough information, given the centrality of the topic to this wiki.  It would, frankly, devalue the meaning of the FA star to compare our article to theirs by awarding it FA status.

#[[User:Azes13|Azes13]] 16:22, 26 July 2008 (UTC) Quotes are against the Manual of Style and the whole page could be organised better.
#[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 17:53, 28 July 2008 (UTC) The Vengeance section is quite lacking, until the audio is released and further details are available. The Morbius' Brain section doesn't fit with the narrative flow of the rest of the article.
:*Edited Morbius' brain section but will not delete objection till user who entered it deems it worthy.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]] 15:46, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
::*Morbius's brain section is now perhaps not improved and several other elements of the article not much better off. There are incidents of present tense (is rather than was, all in universe articles need to be past tense). Bullet points used with biographical articles such as this are ''bad'' writing as it's basically listing rather than working the information into a sentence. Some of the editing has removed the overly wordy elements, but other have been lost, the in-universe use of the Doctor's chop suey quote, much of the detail regarding mindbending and other info regarding the braincase (was it ever stated in the dialogue that it was plastic?). --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 15:43, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

#<s>[[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 13:25, 26 July 2008 (UTC) Gallery seems to make article seem very messy suggest move to bottom of page or page of its own.</s>
# [[User:Azes13|Azes13]] 16:22, 26 July 2008 (UTC) The headings of the page are messy and disorganised, quotes are against the Manual of Style, the History section needs to be cleaned up or shortened and the Rank section is out-of-universe.

#'''Opposed, but could be persuaded in future.''' I'm quite uncomfortable with a featured article still bearing the Wikipedia template. Yes, the MOS says, for some inexplicable reason, that it's "okay" to copy from Wikipedia, but then it contradicts itself by effectiely saying "but we really don't want you to".  So the MOS is not clear enough to be of use.  I therefore am just going on gut instinct here.  It seems wrong to "feature" an article based on Wikipedia's work.  We should have our own voice, and our featured articles should represent what makes us different from the Wikipedia Doctor Who Project.

:* While i agree that we should have our own work rather than using Wikipedia's it would mean removing most of the previous feature articles of their feature status (not that that's necessarily a bad thing). [[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 00:48, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

#[[User:Azes13|Azes13]] 15:46, 17 August 2008 (UTC) Page is too clogged up. It should be more about the character, not just a retelling of all the episodes he was in.
#[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 14:19, 28 September 2008 (UTC) The page only has links from the TV stories, there should also be information from the [[BBC Tenth Doctor Adventures]], the [[DWM]] comics, [[DWBIT]] comics, and short stories etc. As it is there isn't even ''one'' reference from anything other than the TV stories. Also there is still out-of-universe phrases in the article. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 14:19, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

:No sorry, some of the images are in the wrong section, you've got a photo from the Key to Time in the President section and the quotes are in the wrong section you've got a quote about Daleks in the Quest for the Key to Time section and a quote about the Master and Logopolis in the E-Space section.

#I have recently have included a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article in their right sections. I have also added a heading quote that is a quotable dialogue by or about the subject and quotes in the body of the article. I have also included a features section.
