→NPOV edit war
(Created page with "==NPOV edit war== Alright, since I'm being accused of violating NPOV, let's take it to the talk page. While it's certainly the case that there are many other articles that prioritize other media over the show in terms of appearance, and I support those articles wholeheartedly, this isn't even slightly applicable to this situation. The illustration in question comes from The Lonely Computer (short story) which you can read [https://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/features...") Tag: 2017 source edit |

Compare this to [[Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)]], where Newton ''does'' appear in the story, and multiple references are made to his earlier appearance later in the episode. There's just no comparison. I don't see the slightest argument for supporting the illustration here as the main infobox image. I'm more than willing to include it. But by no means should it be first because it was ''released'' first. The very idea is silly.

: While Newton in ''Wild Blue Yonder'' is more prominently featured in its respective narrative than Newton in ''The Lonely Computer''... how do I phrase this carefully and respectfully... presumably every non-visual appearance of Newton is presumably in line with how Newton historically appeared rather than an actor who looked nothing like him, ''a la'' historically accurate [[Cleopatra]] vs [[Elizabeth Taylor]]'s Cleopatra. (Ironically the Taylor Cleo appeared in ''The Lonely Computer''.) {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 21:22, 2 December 2023 (UTC) | |||
