AI Figures

edit

Hey there  , I noticed you replaced the source for AI figures on the series 13 page with one from DWM. I don't have a copy of this, so do you know if it happens to include the figures for the 2022 specials as well? If so, could you verify and update them there as well? TheDoctorWho (talk) 02:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

It doesn't, and neither does the next year's ones. Will have to go looking for where we can find it. I'll do it later, there are a lot of DWM issues to sift through for 2 small words in 80-100 pages each. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:15, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'll definitely keep looking for online sources myself as well. Thanks so much for checking! TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

WIkiProject Doctor Who: September 2024 Newsletter

edit
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue II — September 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

You like Doctor Who? What's his name then?

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff.

Articles for deletion
Several articles have been nominated for deletion, such as Time War (Doctor Who), and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBOOK. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up.

Notice of Draft Articles
A new Doctor Who spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called The War Between the Land and the Sea, and will feature old and new Whoniverse characters working for UNIT as they battle the Sea Devils. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is currently underway in a draft article. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at WP:NTV.


There is also a draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome.

Doctor Who News
A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of Doctor Who News. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the Appreciation Index of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith.


A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the WikiProject talk page.

Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content
There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A sub-page has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards.

Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject

Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows:
1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD.
2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit.
3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue.
If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on the article's talk page.

A barnstar for you!

edit
  The Original Barnstar
My first GAN was originally picked up by someone way too inexperienced to properly review it, and so I must admit that I was skeptical when you chose to review my second GAN, given your newcomer status. It's safe to say you defied my expectations, conducting (what I thought was) a very clear and rigorous review. Thanks for your help, and keep up the good work! Giraffer (talk) 20:28, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the message and the barnstar! I have grown better with each GAN review I have done, and yours was an easy one- the article was concise, easy to read and focused; and your response to the review was great too. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 09:58, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

A barnstar for you!

  The Original Barnstar
Wish we had a unique barnstar at WP:DOCTORWHO, but whatever the case, I figured I'd send this your way. You've joined this Project only recently, and yet you've very much shown a commitment to quality and improvement, and you have several Good Articles already. Congratulations on your accomplishments thus far, and keep up the excellent work. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 20:53, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:29, 27 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

A Barnsatr for you

edit
  The Original Barnstar
For your high qaulity GANR throughout the past month and for taking on the challenge of reviewing two medical articles. I applaud your ability to branch out as it personally took me over a year to branch out. IntentionallyDense (talk) 20:00, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the barnstar! It's even more fitting coming from you, the quantity and quality of your GANRs is partially what drove me to review so many. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:07, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm glad my overly competitive nature has some benifets. I hope you stick around with GANR as you seem to have a knack for it (is that how you spell knack?). IntentionallyDense (talk) 20:08, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
It is how you spell knack, though not how you spell benfits or barnstar[Joke]. I hope you stick around with GANR too. I will too, but probably after a break from GANRs for a month or two. Hope to see more of your GANs the next time I decide to start a GANR. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:18, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Grammarly doesn't work in the visual editor for replying on talk pages hence the typos. I have always been a terrible speller. I too need a bit of a break from GANR and GAN but hope to see you around. IntentionallyDense (talk) 20:20, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
