Doctor Who series 2 ratings
editHi OlifanofmrTennant, I am just letting you know, in order to save you time and in case you begin one yourself, that I will create a ratings table for the Doctor Who series 2 article in my sandbox, which I will then publish on the article. All the best, Lotsw73 (talk) 13:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Warning templates
editDon't template regular editors, it's insulting. If an editor reverts your edit - it's for a reason. -- Alex_21 TALK 04:50, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- "If an editor reverts your edit - it's for a reason." Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:56, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, and I explained why your edit was reverted, and attempted to educate you. Your reasoning was "wrong". Try to see the difference, ta. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- You say "Don't template regular editors" because its rude yet [1] Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- A valid usage to educate a newer editor. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- If your citing essays WP:SENIORITY. At that point I had around 4000 edits a GA and an FL. So seems kinda like a bit of hipocracy on your part. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:33, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- If you wish to not be educated as a newer editor and refuse to discuss material, simply let me know, and I'll simply add my reasonings in my revert summaries. I could cite my own hundreds of thousands of edits and over a dozen GA's, but that's not relevant. You ever heard of the saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you"? If someone's trying to help you, they're doing it to support you. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:39, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- It doesnt seem like youve been trying to be helpful. It seems like youve been trying to refuse to work with me. Like when you killed a GAN because you refused to replace a source. Infact when I did replace a source you cited WP:PRIMARY concerns. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:42, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Can't help you if you won't discuss. I explained the reasoning behind the source. Simply because you didn't like my reasoning, doesn't mean that's a refusal. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:44, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Except it was. "As far as I can tell, that RNS discussion has not concluded," I repetadly invited you to participate in the open RNS. Your only piece of evidence was "Its been used before". Noting else. You were asked for more reasons and you circled back to "Its been used before. "nor does it have any clear consensus." Outright lie it was pretty clearly against the use of Doctor Who News. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:49, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Your opinion on my editing is duly noted, cheers. I also recommend you be more collaborative with editors in the future here, but that's entirely up to you. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:53, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- I literally just pointed out how you refused to be coperative and your response is to tell me to be more collaborative? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:55, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I can see you're just turning this into a "no u" argument. Go ahead and do what you want, ignore the advice of experienced editors and bite their hand. Good luck with your future editing, if that's your plan. Cheerio. -- Alex_21 TALK 07:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Possible Collaboration?
editI've been mostly inactive with WikiProject Doctor Who for a while, but I'll admit you and other editors' recent efforts have inspired me to try taking more of a crack at this again.

The Giggle (Doctor Who)
editApologies about not getting to work on The Name of the Doctor recently. I've admittedly been getting very sidetracked, but it's on my to-do list to do very soon. In any case, I recently expanded The Giggle with production information and additional reviews for the Reception. Would you be willing to go through and make sure everything is formatted properly? I'm still new to writing for TV episodes and I want to make sure everything's in order before I nominate this for Good Article. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 00:35, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Pokelego999: Yeah I'll get right on that. Would you be intrested in me being a co-nom? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:12, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant Given that you've added a good chunk to that article beforehand and reviewing it now, I wouldn't be opposed if you want to be listed. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:18, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

- @OlifanofmrTennant Thank you for the help! Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant I've just noticed that since Doctor Who specials (2023) and The Star Beast (Doctor Who episode) are already GAs, and with The Giggle being nominated, Wild Blue Yonder (Doctor Who) is the only one of the specials not to be GA-ready. Would you be willing to collaborate to improve it to GA status? I'd be willing to do most of the sourcing if it's easier that way, but given how close we are to a potential Good Topic it feels a worthwhile goal to go after. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 04:00, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I'd be willing to hop in on and help on WBY if you guys don't mind? I could probably add stuff from the Unleashed episode sometime over the next few days if it's needed. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:19, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- yeah definitely Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:18, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- That'd be great. For the time being I'll add information from the behind the scenes videos released via Youtube and additional sources. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 18:08, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- @TheDoctorWho @OlifanofmrTennant I've added more sources to the Reception and expanded the Behind the Scenes information. All that's needed now is the information from the Unleashed episode and a copy-edit in case of any mistakes on my part. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 20:11, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- I mean honestly the YouTube BTS videos are usually a cut down version of the Unleashed episodes. That said, I'm honestly not sure that I'll find that much more to add and I have no objections if you two want to go ahead and nominate it. I believe there's a CC-BY short from the YouTube channel I can add to the plot section.
- I can use the extra time to wrap up work on the GAN for Space Babies. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:43, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Added the clip. I noticed
my armthe plot is just a tad too long. TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC)- @TheDoctorWho is the current plot good? I've tried to trim it as best as I can but I'm uncertain what the usual length for a television episode is. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 21:20, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Still looks to be about 50 words too long per MOS:TVPLOT.
- An episode article should have a length of 400 words or less (200 or less for episode summaries on series/season, show, or list of episode pages). There's a script you can install on your common.js page that will check it and let you know. TheDoctorWho (talk) 21:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, just checked again, the count I had above included the video caption. Subtracting that it's only 24 words too long. TheDoctorWho (talk) 21:29, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- @TheDoctorWho I moved the mentions of the salt to the Development section given how it impacts the following episode, which shifts the word count below 400. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 22:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Additionally, would both you and @OlifanofmrTennant want to be listed as co-noms? I'll do most of the work during the review of course if it's easier but I do want to check with both of you either way. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 22:32, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yup, latest count returned 377 words so its good to go with a little wiggle room. I have no objection to being a co-nom, but I do understand that I didn't contribute that much to the overall article, so I also won't be upset if either of you want to leave me off. TheDoctorWho (talk) 01:31, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've added you. @OlifanofmrTennant let me know if you want to be added as well. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Pokelego999: yeah absolutely. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 07:21, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've just written and subsequently nominated "Destination: Skaro" for GA. If you guys don't mind, I'd love to add it into the good topic nomination once everything is reviewed? TheDoctorWho (talk) 08:42, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- @TheDoctorWho: Supplementary episodes aren't included in GTs historically speaking. For the series 6 GT, Space and Time is a GA but is not included and Night and the Doctor is not a GA but didn't hold the nom back. I previously told @Pokelego999: the same thing about a possible s7 gt. However I would suggest starting a conversation about adding minisodes to Gts at either the talk page of WP:FGTC or the WP:DRWHO talk page. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 09:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- I personally feel like this is a prime example of WP:OTHERSTUFF/WP:OTHERCONTENT, just because it's excluded in one location doesn't mean we should automatically exclude it in another. The article clearly meets WP:GT? points 1(B)(C), and honestly shouldn't be excluded per 1(D). TheDoctorWhoPublic (talk) 15:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know about being a "prime example" given that it's within the same series. WP:OTHERSTUFF usually applies to unrelated topics. Regardless l would recommend starting a discussion about it where ever you deem fit. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 15:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

The Name of the Doctor
editI did what research I could and added some additional information to the article, but frankly the search for the episode has been buried in other results and BTS info is very lacking. I'm admittedly a bit stumped on how best to proceed with the article since there really isn't much out there for it, surprisingly, and the stuff that does exist is buried and difficult to find. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 20:33, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Pokelego999: So possibly send the article to GA in its current state? Production info seems relativly weak though Broadcast is definatly strong enough Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 10:09, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Alright. Would you like to be listed as a co-nom? Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 17:02, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:12, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Pokelego999 I did a little digging for a little side project i've been devolopeing and I found this, Doctor Who - The Complete History (2015) it provides tons of details on every serial through Twice Upon a Time. A ton of production info, its reliable its been used for the classic series GAs. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:21, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant I've heard about these books (Iirc I forget if they're a primary source or not but either way I remember seeing ads in DWM for them back in the day) and tmk they definitely are reliable. I'll see if I can't add info from this to the article later today once I've gotten some irl things done. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 19:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant A few things
- I severely underestimated the content this book had to offer. I'm afraid I won't have time to add all the information myself. I've added a good chunk on the writing section, but I'm afraid I'll have to leave the rest to you. I'm really sorry, but my schedule doesn't allow for this much of a time sink.
- Where did you find this on Archive.org? I'd love to check this out of their library for myself given my current work at List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens, but when I checked I could only find specific incarnations of The Complete History for borrowing.
- In any case, best of luck with editing. If you need my help for any other edits of a smaller duration, do let me know, but going through 40+ pages of a book and citing all the content individually is a bit outside of the time frame I have available to me. My schedule is stricter than I'd like and I only have so much free time, let alone for editing. I'm really sorry I can't be of further help right now. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 04:20, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Pokelego999: I'll definitely get to work. Though given the amount of info I would consider pulling the nomination. I searched Terror of the Zygon in the books tap then filtered by found in text. I found it amount collection of various magazine scans and other books. I recommend searching your topic by in text as opposed to metadata. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:24, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'll see if I can't look into the book when I have time, then. But yeah, given the amount of time it'll take to add this info, I'm willing to pull the nomination and re-nominate when you've added all of the information to the article in order to allow for the smoothest editing window.
- As an aside, do you plan on adding info from this book to your other GAs from Series 7? I doubt we can retroactively add it to every GA we have (That would require a project in and of itself) but given this one's up for nomination soon it might be worthwhile. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 04:28, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Probably, unrelated would you be willing to take a look at Terror of the Zygons I've been fixing it up and was hoping for some feedback Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:05, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant looking it over briefly, I'd suggest expanding it with info from The Complete History and this source if possible, since both contain a wealth of production info. There's probably more, but I feel that's a good start. Honestly kudos to you for improving that article, since there's a lot of lower end Classic Who articles.

Regarding the 2022 Specials
editHi there, not sure if you still plan on helping out with this. If not (in reference to your message about the newsletter on the project talk page), I completely understand. I was initially a bit intimidated seeing how much work needed to be done for this one, but after I improved the episode articles first, I think we're in a really good place honestly. A lot of the information from the individual episodes could probably be merged and summarized into overall information to make up a large majority of the production sections. I think our biggest task (and this goes for the episode articles too) is finding a replacement for DWN. I haven't personally had a chance to look yet, but I'm hoping the viewership numbers won't be too hard. AI figures may be a task. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:20, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah I belive so as well. I'v begun digging through old magazine to find numbers Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:23, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Just a quick update and current thoughts on where this stands, because I know it's been a minute since I've worked on it:
- I think casting and filming sections are pretty much polished off.
- I'd like to see if I can expand development and writing just a tad, but as I stated above, this should be simple because I can just pull anything I need from the episode articles.
- Promotion looks good since there's only three episodes, but I may still rewrite it, lmao.
- Broadcast seems okay, I'll likely copy over info on the U.S./Can/Aus broadcasts from the episode articles.
- I still think reception will probably still be the biggest task to tackle. I will say though, that most GA reviewers seem understanding that DWN is being replaced project-wide, and aren't holding promotions because of that. That said, if we get everything other than the DWN replacement done, we can probably go ahead and nominate it, and mention that the project is working on it, if asked. Regardless, this section still needs a ratings analysis, and hopefully some reviews on the three specials together, if they exist.
- TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:27, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- I can definitely through together some reception and pulls some interesting info for writng Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 15:30, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- Apologies for the edit conflict, I had decided to add to the writing a bit myself, guess we had the same idea 😅. I'm personally satisfied with how writing looks now, but as I said in the edit summary, feel free to add to it if you have anything else.
- I still intend on polishing off the development section, but other than that we're nearly done. I also added to the critical response section a bit (and shifted the portion you added to the writing section there). I'd like some more non-Thasmin focused stuff, if any exists. I didn't have much luck finding any though, you might have better look if you have time to take a look? TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:23, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Twelfth Doctor Good Topic
editI noticed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Goals that your Twelfth Doctor GT primarily needs the fictional characters (As well as For Tonight We Might Die) in order to be completed. As the Class episode really only needs minor touch-ups, the other characters are the main bulk of the issue. If you'd like, I can try doing some work on these to help with your goal, as this also helps with several of my fictional character related goals. Has one ever considered Magneton?

- I'd absolutly accept the help for the characters, particularly Nardole who up until recently was tagged for notability concerns. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:21, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant I'll do some digging then. I'll prioritize Nardole for now, then go for Bill, as those two need the most work. I'll work on touch-ups and improvements to Twelve and Clara after that. I can't guarantee this will be done soon but I'll try to work on them as best as I can. Has one ever considered Magneton?

BLPPROD
editSebastian Dunn is poorly-sourced, but it's not unreferenced. I don't think it's correct to apply WP:BLPPROD to articles such as this. jlwoodwa (talk) 05:41, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from VincentHenri (10:19, 23 November 2024)
editHello, Olifanofmr Tennant. My name is VincentHenri. I, too, like television. I recently looked up and story about a B-24 Liberator bomber that crashed in North Africa during WW2. When found so many years later it became the subject of a couple of TV programs. In particular a One Step Beyond episode in which the Wikipedia article referred to the main character seeing a formation of Panther jets. After watching the episode I believe it should read that the main character saw a formation of Cougar jets. Although built by the same manufacturer, the latter Cougar jet is identifiable by the swept wings. I know this could be a small item, but is this the kind of thing for Wikipedia? --VincentHenri (talk) 10:19, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- If you can find a WP:Reliable source proving it then its defently a thing for wikipedia Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:48, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
