Concerning The Rt Hon The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Did Harriet Jones appear in the montage trailer following TXI? I thought I caught a glimpse of her among cats, kisses, cybermen and robotic dogs. Oh, and queens.--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 07:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, on closer examination, it was Sarah-Jane at a bad angle. But, also, are you sure it was the Tower of London? I mean, that's too unbeleivable even for DW!--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 08:39, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It makes no sense for some episodes (like The Reign of Terror (Doctor Who) to be named one way, and The Christmas Invasion another. Dyslexic agnostic 09:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is the source for Alex's surname (Klein)? It was in neither the episode nor the credits.

[edit]

User:Zscout370 is attempting to put all the national anthems of the world into the commons, and I inquire about the status of the song entity itself, as well as any recordings made by the government. As unlikely as it may seem, is there a sliver of hope that if not for the recordings, the song entity in itself (the music, lyrics, etc.) are in the public domain? Hope you can shed some light on this info. -- Elle vécut heureusement toujours dorénavant (Be eudaimonic!) 10:00, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi, I reverted this article back to the 17:33, 26 December 2005 version by DocJohnny, being the one that existed for a week or two before Gimmiet appeared. This had the effect of removing the NPOV and fact templates you had added. In reality, the factual accuracy and neutrality of that version are no longer seriously disputed, and neither of the parties involved in the previous edit war had touched the article for 2-3 weeks. --BillC 09:24, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who Remembers Doctor Who?

[edit]

I appreciate your comment, Khaosworks, but in fact there are several points beyond my phrase "my father told me" which indicate the accuracy of the memories. 1 - My father's position as a script writer for Pathe Films (who indeed later produced the movies with Peter Cushing in the title role). 2 - The timing of his remarks to me, which were made in 1951, at a time when our family was about to migrate to New Zealand from England. The remarks could not have been made at any other time, since a year later we were on the other side of the world, and he was working with the New Zealand Film Unit - far removed from his work at Pathe News. 3 - I do recall reading a vague reference to the earlier development of Doctor Who stories by Pathe, and will endeavour to find them, but don't hold your breath. 4 - The reference to Ralph Thomas, who was Head of the Pathe News section (my Dad's boss), and in the early sixties was head of ABC TV in London. Why is the earlier development of Doctor Who not written of? At a guess, it is a distraction from the main thrust of all Doctor Who history which concentrates on the BBC TV activities. But, maybe the developers don't like to admit to the earlier history, despite the evidence of it in the two Doctor Who moves produced by Pathe Films. Thank you for your patience in reading this. I've waxed on enough, and can only encourage you to look further in the Doctor Who history, because I'm not inventing any of my edit! Cheers, Bruce Burn

god...im defending this k geezer agin even though he put my post in the toaster...post..toast..that works.
Doctor Who was definitely a BBC thing....especially as those peter cushing movies you referred to weren't made by pathe at all....and since they were made as Dalek movies, not particularly as :Dr.Who movies.... (hence the massive differences in character etc ) because...weel, daleks were popular things.
you wont find vague references to earlier developments of doctor who because there arent any......DWM and Haining and Pixley etc have covered it exhaustively. ~~jaime9526

Quote from edit summary: cut down considerably... but you shouldn't just be cutting and pasting it in and expect others to clean up after you. I'm sorry about this, but as I know nothing about Ultimate Iron Man I feel that I may be deleting important info in already a controversial edit. Sorry again, --Jamdav86 17:40, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Who Plot Summaries

[edit]

Thanks for the heads up on the plot summaries - I'm being a bit maverick flying around and doing summaries as and when, but I'll now steer clear of anything else in the Tom Baker era for a while. The ones I've done in that period are (I think) Hand of Fear, Stones of Blood, Creature from the Pit and the Leisure Hive. Will focus elsewhere - the handful of Pertwees mising a plot summary looks like a good place. By the way, what do you consider to be best length for a plot summary? I try to be relatively concise - The Space Pirates and The King's Demons are good examples - but is this correct? I've noticed some very brief Plot summaries - The War Games, The Invasion of Time - and also some really long ones like The Curse of Fenric. --Litefoot 17.20, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Dalek

[edit]

I'm looking at your recent edit to Dalek where you removed mention of the first time a Dalek was not defeated by stairs, the first time the bumps were shown to be a self destruct mechanism, the relationship of daleks to humans, and so forth. You rationale was "rm unnecessary detail". I realise its a subjective decision, but it seemed like relevant - and indeed encyclopedic - useful detail to me. --Nantonos 22:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for taking the time to discuss the rationale. I appreciate it. I should have been clearer that I was not querying all the edits, just the specific ones noted. No objections to deleting 7 o'clock, for example :). As you have explained, the edits I was querying were to remove duplicated material, so I am certainly happy with that. Thanks again for the explanations. --Nantonos 03:06, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Tardis Key

[edit]

Hi Khaosworks. Let me start out by saying how much I appreciate how well you take care of the entire Dr Who output/input here at wikipedia (your changing my incorrect word of morphed to segued on the Five Doctors page is a great example). I do need you to check your change about the Tardis key on the Aliens of London page though. Every reference book I have (Peter Haining, Howe, Stammers, Dr Who monthly, etc) states that the alien key mentioned was an idea of Jon Pertwee's and that they hoped to market said key (I got mine from Alien Entertainment in Illinois). It was used in his last season and for the first two of Tom Baker, which my original entry acknowledged. It was then retired and only the Yale key was used for the rest of the BBC run. Its reappearance in the 8th Dr movie included showing a rather unique way of how it fit into the lock. Per the note that you made with your entry, if you can name a Davison story (or Colin Baker or McCoy BBC run story) where it was clearly used I will check it and gladly apologize to you for this entire entry on your talk page. I know I don't need to say keep up the good work because I also know that it is a labor of love for you, but I do want to say, again, how much I appreciate and respect all the effort that you put in.User:MarnetteD | Talk 15:27, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i might live to regret arguing on behalf of this k geezer but....since he cut my reference to it out........i belive the key the doctor offers Ace in Ghost Light is the Pertweee edition key......Jaime9526.jaime9526

Doctor Who (1996) run time

[edit]

You mentioned that the Television Companion says 84' 39" - that may be so, but I've got an original recording on broadcast BetaSP here I've had ever since I worked at Fox, back when the movie originally aired... looking at the timecode on the tape, it comes in at 89 minutes and 28 seconds, which is also the runtime of the DVD version I made from that old master - the Television Companion is in error. TheRealFennShysa 22:38, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

doest the dvd and original master contain a few differences to the UKK transmitted version? things like most of the shoooting and bits with guns because we'd just had dunblaine....and of course the master snapping bruces wifes neck scene would be gone too.... ~jaime9526

Funny you should say that to me, the bit about being outside of acutal Wiki business; when I lived in Fifestead, there was a man called General McCully who also lived there. He often said wise things such as "take it in turns" and "do as General French did". When I say General French, I do not, of course, mean a French general, but a general whose name was French (so before they became a general, they'd have been called Mr French, unless they were a doctor, professor or clergyman or similar). Anyway, General French had nothing to do with it, because it's General McCully I'm talking about.

He always used to give long, pointless, irrelevent anecdotes to everyone, and there's one he once told to me about when I'd been discussing spiders with him: When I was fighting a war in the desert, many years ago, there was a Scotsman who simply keeled over with exhaustion. When I said to him "Get up, my man. Remember your great national hero, Robert the Bruce, he was lying in a cave, and saw a spider, just like the one on your kitchen ceiling, and it was trying to get out of the cave. It tried and failed more than fifty times, but eventually, it reached the top, inspiring Robert the Bruce to try to get out himself."

Suddenly the Scotsman jumped up, and I was very pleased with him. Except he didn't get up because he was inspired by my pep talk, he got up because a scorpion had crawled up his kilt!. </story> And from that day on, because he'd really wasted a lot of my time rambling and rambling about nothing to do with anything I was particularly concerned with, I refused to speak to him outside business. Do you see the link? I was most amused by it! Yours,--TheDoctor10 (talk|email) 17:14, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah...I see you're refusing to reply! I once read a story about someone who refused to do things, except in this case it was about someone who refused to listen to instructions and advice. It was set in a small village being terrorised (and when I say "terrorised", I make no reference to terrorism) by a Big Bad Wolf (not, of course, referring to the Doctor Who Bad Wolf, but to the Big bad Wolf in the article linked to).
Anyway, this boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice decided to scare everyone, so he told them that the wolf was coming to eat them. They all believed him, and started running around like headless chickens (and it being a farming village, quite possible the chickens would have run around like headless chickens too, only they wouldn't have been headless at that point, probably). Anyway, they eventually found out that there was no wolf coming to eat them, and got very cross with the boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice. They told the boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice never to tell lies like that again.
The next day, this boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice decided to scare everyone, so he told them that the wolf was coming to eat them. They all believed him, and started running around like headless chickens (and it being a farming village, quite possible the chickens would have run around like headless chickens too, only they wouldn't have been headless at that point, probably). Anyway, they eventually found out that there was no wolf coming to eat them, and got very cross with the boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice. They told the boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice never to tell lies like that again.
And the next day, the Big Bad Wolf really did come, and the first person it found was the boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice. And the boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice shouted for help, and everyone ignored him, because they thought that the boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice was simply trying to scare them by saying that the Big Bad Wolf was hungry again. And so the Big Bad Wolf ate the boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice, and lived happily ever after.
Actually, when I say that I read the story, actually I must confess that I was told it when I was at Fifestead Grammar School, because what happened was that I set the fire alarm off, and everyone panicked, and thought that there was a fire. And the headmaster took me into his office and told me this story. Anyway, do you see the connection with yourself ignoring my messages and the boy who refused to listen to instructions and advice? I do.--TheDoctor10 removed personal attack (talk) 08:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recycling AfD

You previously voted keep on an AfD for LJ Drama. It was re-nominated to AfD out of spite here, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LJ Drama, and I thought you might like to consider voting again. SchmuckyTheCat 02:08, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adamantium Revert

[edit]

Why did you edit out my change on how Ultimate Hulk was able to tear Ultimate Wolverine in half? It's perfectly plausible, and there was no reason to take it out. Human spines are not one solid bone, and Wolverine can be broken and cut in half between vertebrae, where there is no metal, only spinal tissue. I would appreciate an explanation for this, because it looks like you did it just to keep the page "yours".

I've answered the similar question you asked on the talk page of Adamantium (comics), so please see that for more than enough justification for Khaosworks' revert. Also, there is no need to level such accusations at him, especially when it is someone who has greater familiarity with Wikipedia policies and guidelines and what constitutes good and bad editing. --C S (Talk) 04:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Douglas Adams and movie confusion

[edit]

I think what's happening is that some people are confusing "tv-movie" style showings of the Hitchhiker's Guide BBC 2 series for an original movie adaptation, which, naturally, is not the case.

Davros

[edit]

You uneditedmy statement about Davros' being crippled by a nuclear attack, apparently because it wan't stated on screen. In actual fact, it was stated in one of the Big Finish Audio plays, I can't remember which, but it still has to be considered canon. Would you agree?

Regarding:

Although some have suggested that Lovecraft was influenced primarily by Robert W. Chambers' collection of short stories, The King in Yellow, others believe that Lovecraft did not read that work until 1927.

Could you provide a page number from The Necronomicon Files? (This should also be footnoted in the article.) The above statement seems to conflict with Anthony B. Pearsall's The Lovecraft Lexicon in which he says that Lovecraft read Chambers "in youth" (pp. 436). However, since The Necronomicon Files is more closely tied to this article, I would accept its "fact" as correct (or at least that it meets the standard for verifiability).

New Thunderbolts v New Avengers

[edit]

Hello. I'm new to Wikipedia and I made this article:

New Thunderbolts v New Avengers

I haven't done any of the linking to it from appropriate pages just yet, but you seem to be the authority on the Avengers so I thought I'd ask your opinion.

I do think this is quite an important cross-over event, which is covered very briefly in the Thunderbolts article, and not at all in the Avengers article, and I thought it might deserve an article of its own. It was a lot of work. I had to do an awful lot of reading, etc before I could make it presentable...

It has been uploaded. I pasted at my talk page about which version I have selected, unless the title is pretty obvious. :) Thanks again. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) Fair use policy 03:32, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User at 131.191.48.3 regarding "excessive linking."

[edit]

I apologize for excessive linking to episodes in the Doctor Who Christmas Invasion article. I would note that there were (and still are) episodes that are linked excessively within the article; I was merely trying to make it uniform. Again, my apologies, but please fix the excessive linking that is already present.

edit: Upon further examination, the only episodes not linked in the footnotes of the article are the ones that I had linked (which were subsequently reverted.) Please see the episodes listed as mentioning Raxicoricofallapatorius in footnote 25 for this discrepancy. Also note that footnote 1 has The Parting of the Ways linked twice in the same sentence. This might considered to be excessive as well.

A possible alternative to the direct links to MP3s (which I agree are probably copyvio at worst and hotlinking at best) might be to just use one common link to the http://www.drwhoguide.com/who.htm page where all the soundfiles are housed? 23skidoo 23:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think a link under the Music article would be better than posting them under each individual Doctor since there were cases where two Doctors shared the same theme (i.e. Pertwee and T Baker, T Baker and Davison, Davison and C. Baker, etc.). 23skidoo 23:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me...

[edit]

...but may I ask why you reverted my edit to the article on New Earth? I changed it to "As yet there is little plot-related information" and you just changed it back to "(no information as yet)" which looks untidy.--82.198.250.4 13:11, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much :) That last edit was absolutely pitch perfect. Thanks for sticking with me until we got something both materially correct and economical. CzechOut 13:46, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HEY! Did you see that we made it to the Did You Know section on the front page with this stuff? Thanks again :) CzechOut 00:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Nope, I'm not mad or asking for a reversion to the original. I'm just forceful in my opinions :) Our differences have always been productive, to this point. Thanks for bein' nice enough to consider my feelings enough to allow for a reversion, though. Should the discussion with others provide for it, great. Should it not, but we gain some greater definition on the nomenclature, that's sweet, too. I'm as happy writing the dissenting opinion, in most cases, as I am in "winning" an argument, cause both things lead somewhere. CzechOut 00:53, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Thanks for tweaking Airzone. I finally watched my copy this afternoon for the first time and I thought it was quite good. I also watched the first 3 Stranger videos (Summoned by Shadows, More Than a Messiah, and In Memory Alone) for the first time in years and I hope to have articles on them too. 23skidoo 04:01, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other Ranger

Minor edit war between myself and Qilinmon on the Other Ranger article. Since you are neutral and have no stake in it, could you please intercede? Thank you. - The One and Only 21:32, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Last human

[edit]

Sorry to leave this here, the edit summary box has a character limit. My point is that if you say "she admits to being the last human", it sounds like the Doctor was under the impression that she was, in fact, the second- or third-last human. If you said that she admitted to being Cassandra, that would be OK as there's only one Cassandra in that era who the Doctor knows.--Keycard (talk) 08:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I like it now.--Keycard (talk) 08:32, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What did you just do here? It came up as nothing.--Keycard (talk) 07:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Should they deserve its own article? - SGCommand

reguarding the name, See Outpost Gallifrey forums. Also, next time you reply to me reguarding Doctor Who put it in the respective talk page please. - SGCommand
I also wish to say that I have created a page for Torchwood Institute as well - SGCommand

Hi, I see you moved the article back to K9 Adventures from K-9 Adventures, giving the reason that the PR uses "K9" but this copy calls it "K-9 Adventures". I'm a little confused myself because the K9 in the image released by Jetix doesn't have a dash on his design. GracieLizzie 16:48, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have created pages for those 2 articles and I wondering to you wouldn't mind helping me wikify and reword them please - SGCommand

I am sorry to disturb you but....

[edit]

This is the last time I will speak to you for some time but I became BOLD and wrote an article for Cylon God. The reason I am asking you is because seeing as you like Battlestar Galactica (2003), I thought you wouldn't mind helping me expand the article. Thanks in advance! - SGCommand

Hi. Could I ask what was amiss with my edits on Iron Man..? I proceeded to update the image with the new Marvel nemesis version, since the pervious version depicted in the infobox was already lower in the article (Image:IM78.jpg). Having the same image, was somewhat redundant.-ZeroTalk 22:45, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Fixing redirects (just out of interest)

[edit]

Hi. I was just wondering why you fixed the redirect on the Tenth Doctor page, when it redirects there anyway? Am I missing something? It just seems unecessary. Thanks. Damiancorrigan 23:35, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the interest of even-handedness...

[edit]

Hi, Terence. I just left a note at User talk:DaffyDuck619 reminding him about things like verifiability, assuming good faith, keeping cool and the 3RR. However, in looking at the page history I noticed that you broke the 3RR as well. I know you know about it, but I feel like I have to mention it in the interest of being even-handed. I'm sure it was just out of frustration with Daffy, but I think it might have been better to remind him of the 3RR and let someone else take care of the revert, rather than breaking the 3RR yourself.

I don't mean to be sanctimonious about this — I've broken the 3RR myself on occasion — but I'm just trying to be fair, so Daffy doesn't feel unduly picked on. I'm sure you understand. —Josiah Rowe (talkcontribs) 02:28, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. I figured it was something like that, but wanted to have something down on your talk page so Daffy wouldn't be able to say, "You're picking on me but not on him!" :-) —Josiah Rowe (talkcontribs) 02:44, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cybus corp

[edit]

Sorry! It was down at lunchtime, and had a notice "this domain is up for sale", so I kind of assumed that it wasn't an error. But you're right, it seem sot work fine now.--Keycard (talk) 17:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chat Day

[edit]

Hello, we have decided to notice all of you at the eleventh hour. Today its Chat Day and its where SGpedians' go to and have a casual off-topic chat. It is held at our very own Singapore IRC Channel from 2000 (SST) to late. Do come to the channel if you have the time and it is greatly appreciated that you turn up at the channel. --Terence Ong 11:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Iron Man

[edit]

Hiya, Khaos. You've done good work throughout the ComicsProject; I've seen your edits around. No biggie, but I just wondering, since I can't find any relevant in the massive archives of Wiki policies, etc., could you tell me where to look where it says quotes have to be in footnotes and can't be in the main text? I'm not sure that's so, but I'll gladly acquiesce to policy. Thanks! -- Tenebrae 13:56, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess it's not worth chasing after; I'll leave it as you have it. As someone who writes these sorts of things elsewhere for part of my living, I've always found source quotes to be important in the flow of things. But I understand there are other ways of looking at it. All the best, and keep up the good work. -- Tenebrae 19:13, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary Reversion

[edit]

Y'know, the bit I edited in about the Jack Harkness' martini -- given the abundance of lore about "the perfect martini" in Western culture as noted in the martini article -- adds to the synopsis, and detracts from it not at all. To erase it and say "isn't really notable in and of itself" is very possibly culturally POV -- and if it weren't for WP:AGF, I might even see it as arrogantly personally insulting to denigrate my edit in that casual fashion, he said mildly.

Davidkevin 09:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The edit summary about "not being notable in and of itself" wasn't referring to the martini, but to the "defabrication" note I removed. I removed the "too much vermouth" detail for different reasons: while there certainly is a lot of stuff about the perfect martini in Western culture (and considering my educational and cultural background, the suggestion that I'm culturally biased against that is a bit odd), it really doesn't relate to a plot summary in an episode of Doctor Who, and at best it's an unnecessary detail. --khaosworks (talkcontribs) 09:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll accept that the "not...notable..." remark applied to something else, no problem, but just as Decker asked Kirk "How do you define 'unwarranted' ?" in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, I ask you "How do you define 'unnecessary' ?" Possible personal bias on my own part notwithstanding, given the abundance of cultural lore, I think it adds a detail which would likely bring a smile to the average reader, just as the line of dialog itself presumably does for the viewer in the episode. I think it does add value in that way.
Davidkevin 09:57, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I just don't see how it's at all useful. To quote the Fourth Doctor in The Pirate Planet, "What's it for?" Is an encyclopedia supposed to bring a smile to a person's face or provide facual information? But enough rhetorical questions. That being said, I have no strong feelings about it either way, so I've restored it. --khaosworks (talkcontribs) 09:58, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Butterflies and kittens aren't useful, either, but they're nice to have around, he said with a smile. As for the either/or question you posit, why not both?
In any case, thank you both for your courtesy and for the re-revert.

Query

[edit]

Hi, I'm asking you this because you are the user i trust the most - what do you do about an idiotic moderator that takes arbitrary decisions on AfD? There is one guy that seems to read over the discussion and follow his own judgement rather than the pooled judgement of those who have voted. Damiancorrigan 11:05, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tax

[edit]

Don't know about the TV situation, but certainly there are in the UK purchase taxes which are levied as a rate per quantity sold : various duties - for example, there is a fixed rate of duty currently on alcoholic drinks per volume and on tobacco per kilogram. i could easily see a fixed-rate television tax, on that basis.

The reversion was nontheless needed: we'd need a source for that (and in any case Magpie could be susbsiding the tax payments out of his own pocket, or possibly he could have just got the Wire to suck the face of Customs & Excise officials). Morwen - Talk 13:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


the tv tax over here is acually the TV License.....magpie was merely selling the physical objects, the TV sets, at a loss. They cost him waaaaaay more to build that he sold them for. Which raised a few eyebrows. Incidentally, the way thse cigarette and alcohol taxes isnt as straightforward as all that either...on a percentage basis, 10 cigarettes should cost half the price of 20. But they dont. Cheaper per cigarette to buy the 20. And thats a fairly recent development....so we've got something weirder than tax going on....jaime9526

Red Sox Article

[edit]

We're not talking about the Braves, regardless. If someone can be confused by it, as I have, it needs clarifying. Thus, I removed the Braves refference. If you think it should be there, re-write it so it makes sense. Aidan C. Siegel 23:40, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dalek Television Stories

[edit]

That's the title of the Infobox - A Dalek appears in The Five Doctors. Why do you keep reverting my change? How do you define a Dalek television story? It's a television story in which the Daleks/a Dalek appears! You can leave out The Space Museum as that's (really) just a reference, but in The Five Doctors a Dalek is actually there - five minutes (like Bad Wolf) or not, it is a Dalek television story! Stephenb (Talk) 09:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd like to hear others opinions too. It really does come down to what you define as a "Dalek television story" - in my simple definition, it is a television story in which the Daleks appear! It shouldn't matter that a fan "doesn't count" the story simply because it's a single Dalek on-screen for only five minutes - in encyclopaedic terms, the fact that a Dalek appeared is notable enough to be in the plot description and therefore notable enough as a Dalek television story. Stephenb (Talk) 09:09, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The template isn't "Significant Dalek television stories" BTW (maybe it should be for your definition) - I'll leave it there for now! ;-) Stephenb (Talk) 09:11, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
i seem to be suffering similar problems when i touched the TARDIS entry....oh dear, including five doctors references.....is it a problem with not believing five doctors to be canon? because Doctor Ten references it in the lil cybermen two parter the other week.... Jaime9526
