[edit] semi-protection status

This log says Rudget (talk · contribs) semi-protected this article 67 days ago, citing a need to "re-instat[e] undefined period of semi-protection, per the pre-full-protection discussion". If an undefined period of semi-protection is still appropriate, could someone add a link on this talk page to the place where that "pre-full-protection discussion" took place? Such transparency is needed so that it is easier to determine when its time to remove the semi-protection. Thanks. 72.244.201.35 (talk) 09:23, 27 May 2008 (UTC).

Basically, the page was being constantly vandalised by IPs, who kept adding WP:CITE violations. You can check this out in the history. Since hardly any registered users were, semi-p was justified IMO. ╟─TreasuryTag (talk ╬ contribs)─╢ 09:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BBC Radio 2: Cybermen confirmed

A useful link: Interview with David Tennant, in which he mentions that the Cybermen will feature in the Christmas Special, for which filming has completed. I've updated the page once, but someone reverted apparently without checking the link I put in the citation. --Finbar McBride (talk) 15:07, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Note that the relevant info is towards the end of Tennant's appearance on the "Listen again", so people might want to skip the earlier part of the interview. --Finbar McBride (talk) 15:13, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I misread the reference. However, the Cybermen are hardly relevant to this page, plus you removed information regarding the 2009 specials in the process. — Edokter • Talk • 16:37, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

While I am taking no side on whether or not the fact that there is nowhere else for the Cybermen information to go would justify its placement here, I do think that an update should be made acknowledging that the special is not still in production. As it stands, the article is inaccurate. 129.67.53.232 (talk) 17:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Note that "production" means more then just filming; editing, mixing, special effects... all fall under production. — Edokter • Talk • 17:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. 129.67.53.232 (talk) 21:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Name for Episode 12 of Series 4 (10th Doctor)

A page foud here: Doctor Who Episode Guide, states that the 12th episode of series 4 (Tenth doctor) will be entitled "War on Skaro" Not sure if anyone can confirm this, I haven't heard any other discussion of this title. -68.83.82.123 • 21:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

No, no-one can confirm this. ╟─TreasuryTag (talk ╬ contribs)─╢ 06:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

It also says episode 11 is "River's Run" - which it is not. 86.154.185.86 (talk) 13:25, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

The Sylvester McCoy site presumably has nothing to do with the actor in question, as for every series it's made up the most ridiculously inaccurate rumours and posted them as fact, rewriting them after the relevant episodes to hide its frequent failures. I genuinely hope that Episode 12 is not "War on Skaro" simply as a slap in the face to such untrustworthy websites. 86.136.156.205 (talk) 14:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proms cutaway

The latest DWM stated there would be a "proms cutaway" episode - should this be put in the article? 86.154.185.86 (talk) 13:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

If you can give us the page-number, author and article title, I'll be happy to do so. I can't afford DWM myself :-) ╟─TreasuryTag (talk ╬ contribs)─╢ 13:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

DWM 396 - page 10. Section "Proms Cutawy brings filming to a close for 2008". it states that it will be shown in July, and is directed by Euros Lyn. It states that there is no official title other than "the proms scene" or "Proms Cutaway". 86.154.185.86 (talk) 15:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
