message: What's the source for naming the Sontaran home planet as "Sontara"?  —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 20:35, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's from the novels - specifically, Craig Hinton names it Sontara in The Crystal Bucephalus, so it's no less valid than putting Polymos for the Autons. Could have sworn when I added that I sourced it... --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 00:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: ...and if I had read the entire page carefully, I would have seen that it was right there in the "other appearances" section.  My bad. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 00:50, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Do we really think that the fact that a few fans mistook early images of the Judoon for Sontarans is important enough to merit mention in this article?  My feeling is that it's not encyclopedic. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:48, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Which image should be used? The classic series image, or the new series image? We've used the new-series look on Cyberman and Dalek, but at the same time, it could be seen as recentism. Will (talk) 13:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're going to switch -- and it does broadly seem like a good idea, given that the show is ongoing and therefore this isn't just a historical record but a set of context for current events (see also Tennant, Simm, and the new series logo) -- you might as well wait until the first episode airs (or approaches air) and better publicity shots become available. Lynx is good enough until Sontarans become actively topical again. --Aderack 06:31, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But in that case, if we're going to be consistant, we should put the original logo at the top of the Doctor Who page and an older picture of Jack Harkness on his page.  The new Sontarans aren't any less canon than the original ones, and I don't know if there's any evidence to prove that the designers had intended for the Sontarans to really look like people in badly made masks.  On the other hand, we could put up an image displaying all the different versions, like the Doctor's and the Master's pages. Andral (talk) 19:21, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I think that now the (great) new picture at the head of the page has been introduced, the original promotional image can be ditched; it looks a little tacky, I think. 86.136.156.205 (talk) 21:10, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I have removed the reference to the Sontarans and Bee stings from the TV appearances section as this should appear in the games section as it (currently) only relates to the "Destiny of the Doctors" pc game. This could of course all change after this saturday. Deckchair (talk) 11:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it even true that the game says that bees are their weakness?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.156.205 (talk) 08:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  It does seem to be true that bees are needed in the game, but i could only find a couple of sources which are possibly dated before this month so i wasnt comfortable re-instating the claim. Searching for "Bees and Sontarans" on google brings up links to a lot of sites which are referencing this article. The reference to Bees was only added to this article in the past week. Deckchair (talk) 08:56, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I see; my concern was that it might have been an invention by someone seeking to influence speculation. If, as the article says, it's just a matter of firing bees at them, it sounds like it could be accomplished with any old bullet or whatever, presumably aimed at the vent on their necks. But so long as it's true (or verifiable), obviously there can be no objections. 86.136.156.205 (talk) 16:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Just tweaked it to make it sound less like Sontarans have a specific allergy to bees or something, since that's not what the source says. 86.136.156.205 (talk) 16:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Destiny of the doctors 

message: In the new series, it becomes clear that the Sontarans are short in length. I believe this was not the case in the old series. Could someone shed a light on this or add it to the article?

message: There are pictures at the moment of a Sontaran on the set of the new series of Doctor Who. I suppose if we find a link to this picture within an article, we could make this comment on this article. Thefartydoctor (talk) 22:05, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

message: How is the name Skorr an exception to the monosyllabic S-name theme? I'm going to move him to the list of examples unless someone tells me to move it back. Sailorknightwing (talk) 15:41, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
