Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: April 3, 2008 |

[edit] The War In Heaven
Wasn't sure whether it should be mentioned under Novels that the Daleks were originally going to be the 'Enemy' during the EDA arc involving the War in Heaven. Due to a satisfactory agreement with the Nation Estate not coming up (similar situation to how the new series almost didn't have a Dalek episode), the Enemy present in The Ancestor Cell was used instead. I don't have a citation because I can't remember where I read it (I'm fairly sure it's elsewhere on Wikipedia and it was probably mentioned in a DWM somewhere). Aldor 09:23, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hehehe. Never mind. See the last point of The Ancestor Cell#Trivia in case anyone's interested. Aldor 09:25, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Return of the Daleks
Moved from the article: [This Emperor] — evidently not Davros — Why? If the person who wrote that meant that the 2005 Emperor doesn't look the way Davros did when we last saw him, why not say that explicitly? Better still, why not let the pictures do the talking? Dan 00:35, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- Depending on whether you count Big Finish's Terror Firma as canon - where Davros mutates into an actual Dalek and becomes the Dalek Emperor - it could very well be Davros, albeit a hugely-changed Davros. - SoM 02:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
I have added a section on the genesis arc, based on what I could tell from the trailor. Some of it is slightly conjectural, so it may need editing.--Warlorddagaz 18:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- I removed it because most of it pretty much is speculative. Let's wait for the episode proper. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Short history of the Daleks
Why is there a need for a fork article? The summary is already in the main Dalek article under "History". --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 17:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- I only did it because if I simply removed the summary from Dalek, you'd complain. So I put it somewhere out of the way.--Keycard (talk) 07:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- If length is an issue, discuss how to cut it down, rather than slice it out entirely. Forking the article is unnecessary and causes more problems than it solves. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 09:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dalekmutant.jpg
Image:Dalekmutant.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Failed Good Article nomination
Per the quick fail criteria, any article that contains cleanup banners, such as the one presently in the lead section of the article, must be failed immediately and does not require an in-depth review. Please remedy any issues brought up by such banners and remove them before choosing to renominate the article for GA review. Thank you for your work so far, VanTucky 22:35, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Davros.jpg
The image Image:Davros.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
-
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
- That this article is linked to from the image description page.
