Talk:Skaro

message: Someone with more time than me (and more knowledge of pre-Genesis Dalek history) should write up an explanation of how the Dalek origin story and the history of Skaro changed over time.  And one should not forget that Daleks were originally stated to run on static electricity (quite a feat of electrical engineering).Gwimpey 07:13, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I think a mention that the continuity has changed is enough, and what you added in the main Doctor Who entry explains it in a less anal retentive way than any minute recounting of continuity errors would. It's a slippery slope towards anorak-dom, as far as I'm concerned - where do you draw the line? An essay on how the Daleks have mucked up their timeline so much it's collapsed on itself? Better to simply point to an external article of one exists, if at all. --khaosworks 14:44, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: You say that like there's something wrong with anoraks. :) I think it's quite reasonable, and indeed probably the NPOV thing to do, to discuss things about the Daleks that were true in old episodes but which have been retconned away. Trying to come up with speculative "in-show" reasons for these changes edges on original research, though, unless we're reporting "theories that are widespread among the fan community."

replies: text: (Puts on his anorak) :-) ... Okay, I wrote up some details tracing the development of the Dalek backstory over the course of all the serials in the main Dalek entry. Check it out and tell me what you think. --khaosworks 18:02, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Great work. I consider myself a Whovian, but my knowledge of the early era of Doctor Who (first two Doctors) is tragically sparse. This fills in nicely. :) Bryan 15:21, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Time War.JPG

message: From what I gather, the general reaction to War of the Daleks was very mixed, with much of the negative critcism focusing on the revelation that Skaro was not destroyed. The website http://www.whoniverse.org/ proposed a theory that the Dalek Prime, who revealed the plot to save Skaro in War of the Daleks, was lying. Should we include a note in the article that, in addition to War's questionable canonicity, it is also uncertain as to whether the Dalek Prime was telling the truth? I realise this may count as original research (is the Whoniverse website a reliable source for speculation? (is there such a thing?)), but seeing as War of the Daleks seems to be so controversial, it would let people who like to count the novels as canon know that in the novel, the reader has to take the Dalek Prime's word for it. Granted, there is the issue that a part of the novel is set on Skaro, and a group of Thals who think that Skaro has survived also appear. I'm just making a suggestion, but it may be too crufty. Thoughts?--Codenamecuckoo (talk) 23:06, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
