Template talk:Presidency

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Can't edit due to the lock, but since the AU First Doctor from the comics is listed, surely Susan from Auld Mortality should be too? The preceding unsigned comment was added by 182.239.171.228 (talk).

I had been thinking the same thing, but I figured sense Susan in that story is from out-of-Universe material and the First Doctor's account isn't, it would be diffrent. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 12:34, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

chronological order[[edit source]]

If this is in-universe chronological order, I'm pretty sure it's wrong about some things. Romana II should be before Lord President, because The Apocalypse Element says he came to power after her presidency started (Happy Endings et al.), while she was enslaved by the Daleks. Trey shouldn't be on there at all, because she was a Matrix projection and not a real president. Livia should be directly after Matthias.Fwhiffahder 18:22, July 19, 2016 (UTC)

Nice rearrangement though there are two things, I believe Dark Eyes 1 happens during season 5 of Gallifrey so that President should go before Livia, and in The Appocalcypse Element I remember the President saying he was in office before Romana at some point and brought back into the office during her absence.

You're probably right about Lord President (The Sirens of Time), though I don't remember that. But I'm pretty sure Big Finish's Gallifrey series is set before their Eighth Doctor Adventures, though I see how you could get the impression you have. Even if it's not certain, it's at least contentious. Gallifrey isn't having Dogma Virus problems during the Big Finish Eighth Doctor Adventures, but in Ascension we see it's still a debilitating issue. Also, it doesn't make much sense for Romana II to be around in audios after Romana III's books. Not that Doctor Who is ever consistent about things, of course.
Honestly I think it would be better to order the presidents by when they became president in real life, because it would be so much less nebulous/confusing. Fwhiffahder 21:16, July 22, 2016 (UTC)

First Doctor[[edit source]]

I see the First Doctor listed here but according to his page, it only happened in an alternate universe? RingoRoadagain 21:44, February 14, 2020 (UTC)
