replies: text: Is there any harm in it being there?  It's as illustrative of the story as anything else.  I removed the link only because the image appears not to have been uploaded. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 17:35, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It may be a slightly grey area for fair use of the image as the article is not specifically about the DVD itself, whereas a screenshot has a blanket fair use category and is generally considered to be OK. Tim! (talk) 17:50, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. It was actually there, but as you say, it's not anymore. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: DVD cover

message: I just revised (for grammar/syntax/clarity) a recently added passage about the early "omnibus" video releases, and the fact that its bottom line was that this serial did not get such a video makes me wonder if it should be in this article at all. However, it brought another question to my mind as well. Given several articles—List of incomplete Doctor Who serials, List of Doctor Who audio releases, etc.—shouldn't there be one about the varied history of Who in various home video formats? This would not be just about the point raised in the passage referenced above, but would also discuss the substantial edits suffered by some serials (e.g., The Brain of Morbius), and at least list the various specials, some collecting odd episodes and/or incomplete stories (Cybermen: The Early Years, which is not mentioned even in Cyberman), others with presenters, interviews and clips/outakes ([More Than] Thirty Years in the TARDIS), and the unique The Pertwee Years, in which Jon Pertwee presents clips from various sources, unseen titles tests, and the concluding installment from each of his three favorite serials. Perhaps there could even be a description of the practice of rotating titles in and out of print, which I understand is standard procedure in the UK but, with the exception of the Disney company, is generally not done here in the USA.

thread_title:  Video format question 

message: I am reverting the passage about the debated blue backgrounds to two shots for one very simple reason: It includes the claim that the "green screen" process was involved in this 1971 serial, but that alternative to blue-screen was not invented until much later. I read at the time (most likely in Starlog) that the effects crew of Superman (1978) had to fine-tune the system to precise shades of blue because the costume's tights had to be blue and wouldn't have shown otherwise. There was no mention that a system using a different color screen existed but was unavailable to this company. Green screen simply had yet to be created then, let alone in 1971. Hence, I am reverting rather than putting up a cite request tag. --Ted Watson (talk) 21:06, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually one was in the new spin-off series K-9 (or at least it looks exactly the same: ). I'm not sure as to whether or not that's notable enough in addition to their recent comic strip appearance, but they sure are memorable. Sorry, I'm just a real DW nut :) Crimsonraptor (talk) 21:02, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that wouldn't be enough. Without a reliable source to back it up it would be original research anyway. Alzarian16 (talk) 21:15, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Axons 

message: I made , and was reverted. My edit summary isn't long enough to describe the situation, but the problem I have is in the sentence "The doors of the console room do not open directly into the exterior as in all other adventures; instead they open into a corridor with the 'roundel' motif.", which the person adding it admitted was unreferenced. The thing is, in the Classic Series stories, console room doors don't open directly to the exterior. Right from the start, they opened into a sort of passageway, and the console room doors are seen to have roundels on both sides.
In the New Series we have an entirely different situation. There is only one pair of doors, the backs of which are always visible from the inside when closed - they are the insides of the police box doors, and have no roundels. But we are talking about the Classic Series, where two pairs of doors are shown: the police box doors (the backs of which are never shown), and the doors of the console room, both sides of which are often shown, and clearly have roundels front and back. There is therefore some sort of corridor or passageway between the two pairs. Whether this has roundels on its walls or not we simply don't know because we never go in there.
The editor adding the paragraph admitted that it was unreferenced, and attempted to justify it on the grounds that other comments were not cited. I'm sorry, but I call WP:BURDEN here; and WP:V also states that "anything challenged or likely to be challenged [should] be attributed in the form of an inline citation that directly supports the material". He has since added a ref to http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Claws_of_Axos which I consider to be inadmissible per WP:USERG. --Redrose64 (talk) 08:13, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
