::Best to keep in mind, I think, that human <small>(well, sentient-beings, in a ''Doctor Who'' context)</small> events like wars don't have ''objective'' beginnings and ends; it's a matter of convention, decided upon after all is said and done. Just like Wikipedia would report the controversies among historians of a real war, so should we report that the Bad Wolf Entity and the Tenth Doctor said one thing, but later the Eleventh Doctor said another thing. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:43, June 30, 2019 (UTC) | ::Best to keep in mind, I think, that human <small>(well, sentient-beings, in a ''Doctor Who'' context)</small> events like wars don't have ''objective'' beginnings and ends; it's a matter of convention, decided upon after all is said and done.

: I had been meaning to bring this up because the [[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|novelisation]] of ''Day'' establishes that there were many days the Doctor considered to be the "last" of the Time War. Honestly, to chronicle all of these days I considered creating [[Last Day of the Time War]] which included the fall of Arcadia, the Eighth Doctor's regeneration, the War Doctor visiting the barn, the Tenth Doctor kissing Queen Elizabeth, the Doctors being trapped in a cell, and the Eleventh Doctor and Clara visiting the National Gallery. Obviously, other sources where a "last act" is mentioned are also relevant. Here is the relevant passage: | |||
:{{quote|The last day of the Time War. That was wrong, he suddenly realised. Because somehow all those different days, spread across his life, were also the last day. Somehow the last day had become millions of days, each of them, impossibly, the last. ''No such thing as last'', something screamed in his mind, laughing at him.|Eleventh Doctor|The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)}} | |||
