Talk:List of Doctor Who robots

message: Weren't the clowns (or most of them) in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy robots? --JB Adder | Talk 03:14, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, actually, they were. There were a bunch of half-finished robot clowns in the workshop that start menacing Ace at the end of part two. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 03:38, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Robots in Doctor Who novels

message: How about having an A-Z format, like List of Doctor Who villains. Two reasons: consistency, and making it easier to find a certain robot. e.g. If you wnated to find out more about the Clocwork Droids that appeared in The Girl in the Fireplace, you might not know that it is a Tenth Doctor story. --Thelb4 10:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Okay, now that we're here, what's the issue(s) we have to deal with? --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 08:48, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently, that most of the robots are redirected to the articles about the episodes they appeared in, due to lack of information on the original version of the page. Apart from that, I'm not sure. ~  Ghelæ talkcontribs 17:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Yes, we need to put some information about some of the more notable robots into the list instead of links to main articles, but when I redid the page, most of the robots had no information about them. So now all that's left is just to add more information about some of the robots. ~  Ghelæ talkcontribs 17:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: As anyone here who is familiar with my Wikipedia work will know, I am a strong proponent of pictures. This article would be greatly improved if we had a small picture to illustrate each robot in this list; I strongly recommend this measure as part of this page's expansion project. --Promus Kaa 20:45, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

message: About the Robotic Santas:
Used together in both The Christmas Invasion and The Runaway Bride, the Robotic Santa Clauses and Robotic Christmas Trees were used by both the Sycorax and the Racnoss on Christmas Day 2006 and 2007 respectively.
I thought they were just ... freelance scavengers, if you will, in The Christmas Invasion, and weren't actually affiliated with the Sycorax? Pilot fish, as the Doctor put it.--Codenamecuckoo 07:58, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, change it (if you haven't already), I wrote that but I'd forgotten how the Doctor had described them so I wrote that instead, the closest I could think of to that. ~  Ghelæ talkcontribs 11:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Kevinsam has placed a merge template on the Clockword Droids section to merge into the article Clockwork Droids. So what do you think? I, personally, am against, because as far as I'm aware only creatures who have appeared in more than one serial (e.g the Daleks in several hundred DW stories including novels and comic strips, the Raxacoricofallapatorians in Aliens of London/World War Three, Boom Town, and the novel The Monsters Inside, etc) and as far as I'm aware (and I'm pretty aware) the Clockwork Droids have only appeared in The Girl in the Fireplace. Anyway, what do you think? ~  Ghelæ talkcontribs 07:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The merge proposal looks backwards to me.  As Ghelae says, we generally create separate articles for Doctor Who monsters only when they make multiple appearances.  This can be multiple appearances on television (e.g. Dalek, Sontaran, etc.), or multiple appearances in other media (e.g. Zygon — they were on TV only once, but they've made many subsequent appearances in comics, novels, etc.).  My understanding is that the clockwork droids appeared only in The Girl in the Fireplace, so they really don't deserve an article of their own. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: where can i find information on the scarecrows from Human Nature and The Family of Blood? theyve been removed from the aliens and monsters section, should they be placed in this article or the henchmen article?--Lerdthenerd 14:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The article states that the Quark were on the cover of the The Five Doctors, but seeing the cover (), I'm pretty sure it's not the Quark, but instead it's the tower in the Deathzone, I think it's called The Tower of Rassion or The Tower of the Tomb of Rassion something like that anyway?

message: See, for example, http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/chase/detail.shtml. As the self-appointed president of the Respect for Mechonoids League, I must register my distress at this error. (The same error occurs on the page The Chase (Doctor Who).) 67.68.50.56 (talk) 00:01, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This seems to be an increasingly common error.  The correct spelling is "Mechanoid".  I have today confirmed this by checking the end credits of "The Chase", episode 5 (their first appearance), which is the definitive primary source.  The spelling there is clearly "Mechanoid". 86.7.30.217 (talk) 20:52, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
