Companions?

edit

The table on the Past Doctor Adventures page includes companions. Any particular reason why this one doesn't? (I'll take care of it if there isn't, but I won't bother if there's some reason for the inconsistency.)

Actually, the New Adventures page has publication dates as well. Should this one? —Josiah Rowe 05:39, 29 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

No idea. Go for it. --khaosworks (talkcontribs) 06:33, 29 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

I started both those pages, so you can blame me. :) This one was started first, and I never got round to coming back to this one to add companions. It's quite a lot of work and you seem quite eager… I'll leave it to you now? ;) Tim! (talk) 07:32, 29 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Done. I'll put companions & publication dates on the other novel pages later. —Josiah Rowe 16:17, 29 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Incidentally, it looks a bit weird to me to have UNIT as a "companion", but that's the way it's listed on several of the books ("featuring the Third Doctor, Liz Shaw and UNIT" or some such). Anyone have a better idea on how to deal with that? (Listing the Brig, Benton & Mike Yates would probably take up too much room.) —Josiah Rowe 20:12, 29 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

I personally don't consider any of the UNIT military personnel as companions, so I wouldn't object to seeing them excised entirely from that column. --khaosworks (talkcontribs) 22:25, 29 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
I could remove UNIT, or I could change the column to Featuring instead of Companions... —Josiah Rowe 23:56, 29 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
I'm not fussed either way, honestly, as long as the header is accurate. :) --khaosworks (talkcontribs) 01:13, 30 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

"Virgin" Missing Adventures

edit

I'm not sure why these are referred to as "Virgin Missing Adventures".

At the time that these were published, they were simply known as MAs or "Missing Adventures". Virgin was the publisher, yes, and calling them "Virgin Missing Adventures" does help differentiate them from, say the BBC's Past Doctor Adventures - but to the best of my knowledge they were never marketed in this way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.235.28 (talk) 07:42, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
