Doctor Who series 14

Hey there. I'm gonna wait 'til the RM is over for obvious reasons, and I might do a quick CE on the lead, but general thoughts on Series 14 in the way of GA criteria? I think it's improved quite a bit with my work over the last few days. I do have quite a few GA's under my belt, but given that none of those are Doctor Who seasons I just wanted to get your opinion since you're responsible for most of the other ones and still one of the top contributors on the page. TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply! I think the S14 article is in far better state than some of the previous series articles that have been promoted to GA, thanks to your incredible additions, so I think you're the one who should absolutely nominate it. -- Alex_21 _TALK 00:42, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

No worries on response time, and thanks for the go ahead! One other quick question (which I'll raise to @LukeLB: as well), since the three of us together are responsible for over 80% of the article's authorship: would either or both of you like to be listed as co-nominators when I nominate it? TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:08, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, go for it. I'll happily contribute to the GA nomination recommendations. -- Alex_21 _TALK 07:54, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Dot and Bubble

On 9 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dot and Bubble, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 2024 Doctor Who episode "Dot and Bubble" was first conceptualized in 2009? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dot and Bubble. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Dot and Bubble), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Stranger Things

Hello,

I am writing in regards to the edit on the Stranger Things page. I made an edit in adding Franco’s character of Argyle and Quinn’s character of Munson. I know they receive “also starring” credit in Season 4, but the characters of Buono and Bower also receive this credit during that season and the page does not address it. Also in the cast list and on numerous times during the page it says Franco and Quinn are part of the cast. Can you address this matter and tell me why my part was removed but the others can stay.

-Snipehype Snipehype (talk) 15:20, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

They are part of the cast, but they are not part of the main credited cast. The main article for the series is for main cast; the separate characters article is for all other cast. Concerining Buono and Bower - Buono has been main cast S1-3 and will be for S5; Bower will be main cast for S5. -- Alex_21 _TALK 21:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Rogue (Doctor Who)

oops, I thought it had been added in the page, didn't realise it was the info box. my mistake, thanks for correcting me. regarding "should it be in there even?", I don't think you could ask that question without also having to ask the same question of Susan Twist. because discussing the inclusion by any objective criteria means they would have to be treated the same way, so choosing to keep one but not the other would be introducing an unwanted POV to the article. in part I write as someone who tried to remove Twist from a different infobox earlier in the series and was in no uncertain terms reverted.

WIkiProject Doctor Who Newsletter: July 2024

The Space-Time Telegraph Volume II, Issue I — July 2024 Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who Okay–ooh. New teeth newsletter. That's weird... Hello! Welcome to the first regenerated issue of The Space-Time Telegraph, the official newsletter of WikiProject Doctor Who. We hope it finds you well in your safe travels across the Whoniverse! This newsletter was founded in 2008 and seemed to get lost in the time vortex quite quickly. Thanks to the Doctor dragging Sutekh through the time vortex and bringing life by bringing death to death (yeah... I'm a little confused too), it seems to have regenerated. The writing staff hopes to bring you future editions quarterly. For this first edition, we have created an updated version of our mailing list that includes any active editors who previously had their usernames included in our participants list. If you do not wish to receive future editions, please remove your name from the mailing list. If you no longer wish to participate in the project, please also remove your name from the participants list. I think that's enough about the newsletter for now. Let's dive into interesting things happening within the Doctor Who side of Wikipedia. Geronimooooo..... Big Spike in Productivity During 2024, the project has scored 8 GAs, 2 FLs and a GT, up from last year's 4 GAs and a GT. Several additional things are in the pipeline, with a bunch of things currently having been nominated with some mix of OlifanofmrTennant, TheDoctorWho, and Pokelego999 having their names attached to them. Allow me to look into the nominees. Series 14: As of July 18th, every single episode has been sent to GAN, with "Boom", "73 Yards", and "The Devil's Chord" having made it to GA. 2023 Specials: Early in the year, as part of trying to not lose the WikiCup, Ollie sent "The Star Beast" (still salty about the move) to GAN. It was reviewed by frequent collaborator (fly high) of hers, but failed. She then fixed it up and sent it back where it passed. Later "The Giggle" was expanded and sent to GA, followed shortly by "Wild Blue Yonder". WBY received help by JustAnotherCompanion, a pretty fresh user. This other companion chose not to be listed as co-nom. A page was created for "Destination: Skaro" and quickly got GA status. The Daleks' Master Plan was also sent to GAN by Rhain. It passed to join Rhain's other First Doctor content, being the fourth season three article to get the green check. Peter Capaldi: The filmography and newly created awards of Capaldi were both sent to FLC and passed. Capaldi's main page was sent to GA, though due to some minor incompetence on the part of the nominator it was failed. Proposals to the WikiProject A recent proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who suggested potential improvements and suggestions for the main page of the project, as well as discussions about the project overall. The proposals are as follows: The Task Forces section should be removed due to inactivity in the Torchwood Task Force, and a lack of significant interest in creating further Task Forces. The freenode channel no longer works and should be removed due to most discussion taking place on site. Due to the low quality of Lungbarrow and Jubilee despite being sample articles, these articles should either be removed as samples or improved. Additionally, the "sample device" has a very small application field, and should be removed from the sample articles section. An updates infobox should be included, similarly to those used by Wikipedia:VGCHAR. Radio Times's Doctor Who sections should be included in the references section due to their benefits for the project sourcing wise. The Deletion Discussion archive should be removed, or have work invested in updating it, due to its lack of updates. If you feel you have any thoughts or suggestions on these matters, or on any other matters pertaining to the project and its main page, feel free to chime in the ongoing discussion. Discussions of Note A move discussion is currently underway on whether or not Doctor Who series 14 should be moved to Doctor Who season 1 (2024). The discussion also involves conversation on a few other adjacent articles. If you have an opinion on the matter please read over the discussion or leave comments.
