Talk:The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone (short story)

Curator or not?

Judging by adjustments to this article, there appears to be a dispute as to whether the Doctor is going by the identity of the Curator (in the sense of Tom Baker's character in 'Day of the Doctor') or not. I contend that she is not, as there is nothing in the story to indicate that she has adopted any such identity or persona. She is consistently referred to by the third-person narration as 'the curator' and never as 'the Curator'. In this story the Doctor is working or posing as the curator of a museum, but is never named or given any identifying name by anybody till the very end of the story, where she is referred to as 'the doctor' and not as 'the Doctor'.

It should be noted that in the main 'Thirteenth Doctor' article, which I personally have not had a hand in writing or editing, she is only referred to as having been working as a curator and not that she was calling herself the Curator.

As the Doctor does not call herself the Curator, and neither do any other characters, and the context in which the third-person narration uses 'the curator' does not indicate a name of any kind (no more than it would if it said "the woman" or "the museum employee" would, I suggest that my edit should be reinstated here and references to "The Day of the Doctor" be deleted.
