Should we also include Dr. Who, the War Doctor, the Fugitive Doctor and/or the Valeyard? Mr Sitcom (talk) 01:05, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

I'd say yes for War and Fugitive. No strong opinion on the other two. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

I'd say no for all four, there is barely any reliable source saying much about War and Fugitive(even The Doctor only mentions them in other and not the main list), and if they are not included, there would be no point for the other two either, even if they might have reliable sources. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 05:32, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Regarding the Fugitive Doctor:

Regarding the War Doctor:

The sources exist, it would just take improving the articles. I suppose Martin as Fugitive is more debatable as she was only ever credited as a guest star, but Hurt was credited in the opening sequence of DotD along with Smith and Tennant, meaning he did technically headline the series. If we're including the Eighth Doctor based on that bar, then War should be included as well. I feel less strongly about Dr. Who since he wasn't in the main television series. The Valeyard is up for debate. TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:21, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

It's not just about appearances though. Most of the coverage for War and Fugitive is that they appeared in a few episodes; War has some audio stories, but Fugitive does not even have that at the moment, and audio stories barely get any coverage as compared to the TV stories, with Eight only getting extensive coverage because he has appeared in so many. Same for the Valeyard as War and Fugitive. We should definitely not include Dr. Who though, even the Shalka Doctor is more related to the story than him. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

I'd say include Fugitive and War, as they are decently notable, but Valeyard and Dr. Who should be excluded. Tbh I'd honestly say those may be liable to AfD due to notability concerns, but I'd have to research that. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:21, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

I have updated the Tom Baker and Colin Baker articles and nominated them to GAN. I also removed Tom Baker's filmography from his article and created List of Tom Baker performances and credits. I am considering doing the same with Colin Baker's filmography, as it is lengthy and not well-cited atm.
I would appreciate if someone could review what I have written about Tom Baker and Colin Baker's post-Doctor Who career, as it has been challenging to find good quality citations.SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 01:57, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
I decided to create it anyway: List of Colin Baker performances SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 02:10, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
Hey, I'll review Colin's page (Not Tom's as I've worked on it before), but would you by chance be interested in getting the two filmography pages to FLC? Olliefant (she/her) 05:14, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
Thanks @Olliefant. Sure, I would love to get them to FLC, however I would need help. A lot of Tom and Colin's late-career work is not exactly high profile and thus it's difficult to find good-quality citations. I am open to any advice you have regarding this.

– Rhain ☔ (he/him) 21:25, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

No strong opinion on this either way, BUT if we're adding those, I feel like we'd also need to consider adding in "The End of Time" and "Deep Breath". I don't feel like the current proposed topic has gaps without them, but if we start including expanded media content, it feels weird to exclude things that are in the source material (even more so with the inclusion of DotD). TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:44, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

I considered those too, but I don't think they're necessary as they're essentially cameos (whereas the expanded media and Death of the Doctor are generally much more focused on the Eleventh Doctor). – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:03, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

That's a fair point. Like I said, no strong opinion on any of them. I definitely wouldn't oppose if the expanded media were included and the cameos weren't. I just thought discussion on it may come up at one point or another and it made more sense to decide sooner rather than later. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:48, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm not sure I have a very strong opinion about it either, but it crossed my mind with this Doctor in particular—which makes sense considering how much additional content featured Smith compared to the others. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:54, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

A lot of those articles could do with re-evaluation or expansion before being included, but excluding that, I mainly based this on the Twelfth Doctor one below, which only includes major televised content (Including the Class episode). This can definitely be changed but I feel throwing everything the character appeared in wouldn't really be worthwhile and is not necessary to get an expansive topic on a character. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:03, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

I figured that's what it was based on, but technically we don't have a precedent for a topic like this so it's still worth discussing. For the sake of completeness, it seems logical to include extended media, since there's nothing about the topic that seems to specifically limit it to television appearances (in which case, some novels may also be within scope). – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 03:20, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

@Rhain in that case we should probably determine exactly what falls into the scope of the Topic or not, and we'd need to determine what is and isn't notable. Random Novels probably are going to be AfD'd at some point anyway, and minor cameos probably don't need to be incorporated, but something like The Adventure Games I concur could probably do with being added. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:35, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

I agree the novel articles are likely eligible for redirection/deletion anyway, but until then they're worth mentioning. I also agree that small cameos are unnecessary, but significant appearances (like the video games) are likely worth including unless we determine the scope is limited to television (which may also be valid). – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 03:42, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

I'll leave that up to other editors to decide. @OlifanofmrTennant in particular may be interested in this since her Twelfth Doctor goal may be affected by this as well. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:53, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

That topic would definitely be impacted less, to be fair, as there's currently only one novel article. There's an argument to be made that Doctor Who: Legacy and possibly Lego Dimensions could qualify, but I'm mostly apathetic there, and the only other possible inclusion is "From the Doctor to My Son Thomas", but that's already FA so no work required. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 06:34, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

If we were to expand to video games then Legacy is a yes. Dimensions is a hard maybe, while the Doctor does play a supporting role in it's story he isn't the lead. Similar to Wikipedia:Good topics/Hulk video games. As for The Blood Cell, it's prime AFD material Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:42, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

I agree: the argument for Lego Dimensions is far weaker, but something to consider. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 06:47, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Yeah I'd take any excuse to write about Lego Dimensions Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:50, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I feel that an argument to exclude them could be found under criteria 1b. "The articles or lists have a clear similarity with each other under a well-defined topical scope." I feel that including novels and video games would be to broad. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:38, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

That's certainly fair, though there's an argument to be made that the topic itself is already quite broad (especially per criteria 1(c)). I suppose the scope could be limited specifically to "Eleventh Doctor on television"—not that the topic itself should be named that, but perhaps something to keep in mind when nominating. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 06:47, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Surely the Doctor should be included on here as opposed to the Valeyard? Olliefant (she/her) 01:21, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant I'm honestly considering axing the individual Time Lords as a whole since they're individual characters as opposed to species or particular monsters, but I'm admittedly not too sure. There's also the issue of there being so many incarnations of the Doctor that they're practically a separate topic at this point. I'd appreciate some input if I'm being honest. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 02:29, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

I don’t think an individual character should be included here since it’s about Doctor Who species, so time lord but not The Rani. Daleks but not Davros. A timelord topic would include The Rani and The Master and ect Olliefant (she/her) 07:29, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Sounds good. I'll axe out the individual Time Lords, Davros, and the Mara since they're all particular individuals, but the others will remain. I'll start another subtopic for the Time Lords in a second. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:30, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm not including the separate incarnations of the Doctor on here since that'll be its own subtopic, however I will not submit this until all the Doctor incarnations are done and dusted. For now I'm just including the Valeyard separately given his unique separation from other Doctor incarnations, but I'll likely adjust that later down the line.

Zygons

4 articles

Robert Banks Stewart

Terror of the Zygons

"The Day of the Doctor"

"The Zygon Invasion"

"The Zygon Inversion"

Discussion: @Pokelego999: would something like this be viable? Olliefant (she/her) 18:09, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

@Olliefant very likely. However, I would also argue Robert Banks Stewart should be included given he is their creator. While other people who worked with the species have only done so tangentially, I feel their creator is a pretty notable exclusion if we're covering everything Zygon related here.

For the rest of the articles I'd be happy to collaborate on finishing them; perhaps each of us cover one part each of Invasion/Inversion, and we collaborate to complete The Day of the Doctor (Given it's an incredibly massive article in terms of scope)? Day of the Doctor's completion would also be very helpful for the 2013 specials sub-topic. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 18:20, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take Inversion and then we could trade GA reviews? Olliefant (she/her) 18:32, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

I'd be unopposed. Just a question though: A lot of developmental information is shared between the two parts. Does the bulk of that info go to the first part, get split between both, or something else? I have admittedly not worked with these kinds of multi-part stories before. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 18:57, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Pinging @Olliefant just to clarify Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 02:09, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

If there is too much overlap, they could be merged. There is precedent for this ("whoami and Hello, Elliot", "Finn the Human and Jake the Dog", "Hogcock! and Last Lunch" to name a few) But these are usually reserved for things that were filmed together, which I don't think these were Olliefant (she/her) 02:53, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

I'll just include what I can and work from there, I suppose.

Also, I am beginning some work on Banks Stewart's article. I will let you know once I have a draft together. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 04:16, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

FWIW, these episodes were definitely made together—they shared a production block and director, and filming took place over the course of a month without any breaks, besides some weekends (in fact, the first day of production included scenes from the second episode, while the last day had scenes from the first). That being said, these should be fine as two separate articles; the first may inevitably have more 'development' info, but the second can mostly recap where relevant. We have many different GA+ examples of two-part stories (and some halves) if you need any inspiration. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:00, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Discussion

Inspired by the above Zygon proposal. Probably our closest to being a successful GT of the alien species in terms of sheer article count since only World War Three needs promotion and isn't too hard to do. Will probably hit up World War Three at some point soon and send this off at some point unless there's any gaps I'm missing. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:31, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

I have nominated and improved World War Three (Doctor Who). Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 06:40, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Would be opposed to me serving as a co-nominator? I had just started working on it with intent to send it to GAN (receipts) although you did, I'm assuming unintentionally, undo all my edits Olliefant (she/her) 06:53, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

@Olliefant Oh, I'm so sorry about that! I didn't realize you had started work already. I have no issues with that. Feel free to add yourself when you get a chance.

A small note; given how small this article is, I've elected to axe the SFN citation format, especially since only The Complete History is cited a lot. This should make citations easier. Otherwise I've left any other changes of yours intact. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 18:15, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

@Pokelego999: whats the justification for including List of The Sarah Jane Adventures serials? Olliefant (she/her) 07:46, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

@Olliefant largely to represent their appearances in The Sarah Jane Adventures. Admittedly was a bit iffy on if this should be included or not, but I figured I may as well. If you've got qualms let me know. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 18:16, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Another monster GT that's very close to completion. All that really needs to be hit up are Village and The Lost. Admittedly unsure if Halloween Apocalypse, Once, Upon Time, and Survivors of the Flux should be included though, since while they do include Angels they are not the main episode focus. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:31, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Template talk:Weeping Angel stories lists them as major appearences Olliefant (she/her) 03:46, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

I've added them; seems like once the individual Flux episodes are completed this will be too, pretty much, given they're in all but War of the Sontarans and The Vanquishers. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 06:42, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Another close one, really only missing Time of the Doctor. I believe that's all the Silent stories anyway, unless there are obvious ones I'm missing. Could be a potential one to hit up at some point (Also for the 2013 specials GT, since Day will be worked on for the Zygon one). Not a pressing topic but definitely one to keep in mind for future reference. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:31, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Cyberman

Cyberman GT I am setting up right now. This is very much long term but since there has been some interest expressed in this in the past I figured I'd set it up for later use.

Will note that while Army of Ghosts is a GA, it's very outdated and has a banner on it. Will need some work if its status is to be maintained. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:58, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

I've been away for a few days, but one I can return to editing would be interesting in working on the lead item? Olliefant (she/her) 00:19, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

@Olliefant Cyberman is on my to-do list, though admittedly my focus has been on some other articles lately. I've got a draft started at User:Pokelego999/sandbox/Cyberman Rewrite, though I haven't done a lot of extensive work on it yet, so it's missing a good chunk (And a lot of the writing is admittedly very old). I do have all the sources I've gathered listed there though. I plan to hit this one up at some point once I get some more articles out of the way, especially since it's currently the last major species article not at GA or above or nominated for that as of right now.

Report: Power of the Daleks I want some advice on how detailed that home media release section should be; The Moonbase has all the information I could find so far and mostly needs plot cleanup. Glimmer721 (talk) 20:45, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Glimmer721 I'd check how much of the information there can even be cited. I think it's likely good as it is, but it needs citations to be verifiable.

I did a plot rewrite for The Moonbase to help out with that, and it now manages to squeeze under the 400 word episode limit. I'd do some more prose rewrites in spots, as there's still a lot of opinionated language in places. I'd also split the large Reception paragraph into two. Has one ever considered Magneton?

@SkywalkerEccleston: @Glimmer721: Thanks to the recent work on the two Yeti serials, as well as Skywalker's work on The Wheel in Space, season 5 has made some significant progress on it. Glimmer, I've seen your work on The Enemy of the World recently (Looking good so far), and it made me wonder: Would it be possible, perhaps, for all three of us to collaborate to finish this GT?

Following The Enemy of the World's nomination, all that would be left to work on are The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Ice Warriors, and Fury from the Deep, and then the season article. If all three of us were to work on this together, assuming Glimmer works on Enemy (Which I am also willing to help with, if needed/wanted), that would be one serial per person, followed by a collaborative effort to work on the overall season article. This definitely seems like a pretty plausible good topic to be able to finish, if you all would be interested in partaking in it.

Obviously fine if not, and additionally it would definitely be possible to work on at a later date if needed, but I figured I'd shoot the suggestion out there given our numbers. Please let me know what you think! Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:55, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi User:Pokelego999, thanks for the idea. Could I take Fury from the Deep to work on? SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 01:36, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

I don't see why not. For my part I'm happy to work on either of the other two (I can re-use some of my Ice Warrior content on The Ice Warriors, and for Tomb it's a big article and I happen to have some good dev info pieces in a primary source Cybermen guide). Depends what Glimmer would prefer to take, if they wish to participate. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 02:20, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

This YouTube channel has a number of full-length Confidential episodes, you may find it useful for earlier series number topics, there's a playlist specifically for series 4. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:24, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

@DoctorWhoFan91: Would you by any chance be interested in co-noming Journey's End? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:46, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, sure, though it does need a lot of work. The DWM edition for series 4 has the finale at 20 pages, so it will take some time to make all the changes to "production". DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:02, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

The temptation to do work on Day of the Doctor despite the fact I'm busy already is very strong. Might try doing Night of the Doctor though given that article is relatively short and seems easy enough to improve. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 13:09, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Dare we say there's an endless number of topics to work towards? A subtopic specifically for missing Doctor Who episodes may be another possible one. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:29, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Anyone has any ideas to how we can promote 2005-present to FL? I tried making it like that of the classic era, but that list's FL is so ancient, it would probably end up demoted too instead^[Joke]. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 08:08, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Presumably like a standerd episode list, though you do raise a good point with the classic episodes. It may be worth delegating sometime to sprusing it up a bit Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't see it being that difficult to get promoted. Making sure sourcing is up to par, including phasing out Doctor Who News where possible, is something that needs addressed, I might also suggest a slight overhaul of the lead, it's very generalized and about the programme as a whole, containing very little information about Doctor Who since 2005 itself, which I could see being a potential critique.

Perhaps we could start with the 2005 list, get it up to current FL standards, and then reverse model it back to the classic era to ensure that both are where they should be. TheDoctorWho (talk) 20:52, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Discussion: I have re-classified The Husbands of River Song as B-class. I know I need to get my act together to nominate it but I'm just stuck on how to make the plot summary smaller... Glimmer721 (talk) 00:01, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

@Glimmer721: I was planning to lend a hand and shorten it for you but Rhain and DoctorWhoFan have gotten it down to 391 Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:47, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks so much! I think some sourcing needs to be fixed but otherwise, it's almost nomination ready?? (I haven't done this in like 10 years lol) Glimmer721 (talk) 15:17, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I checked the article, and it does look nom-ready (the sourcing can definitely be better though). Great work, I think you should nom it. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 16:34, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I fixed the sourcing best I could! I think I will wait until next week because I am busy this week, but yay! Glimmer721 (talk) 16:59, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Glimmer721: I think you forgot to nominate it. Also, I'm working on "Last Christmas", in case you are looking for another article to help nominate. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 11:29, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I got busy again...I'm more available next week? I'm just afraid of being away for a couple of days at a time. Perhaps co-nominating is best? Glimmer721 (talk) 03:27, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Update: I nominated it! Sorry about the delay. It seems like there is a backlog anyway. Glimmer721 (talk) 16:48, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Obligatory post here because my GAN got flagged because I was inactive. Glimmer721 (talk) 19:11, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

The nominator inactive goes away as long as you edit atleast once in the last three weeks, so that note us gone now. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:38, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Fantastic, thanks for that! Hopefully this last one gets wrapped up soon, it would great for both of our cup scores.

Got the ping half-way through, thanks for creating that. No worries though, I was pretty fast on the responses with that one.

This one may have to wait a bit considering that Doctor Who series 15 would also have to become a GA before this could become a GT. That likely won't happen until after that season has concluded broadcasting. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:35, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

To clarify, series 15 would only need to be peer reviewed, per WP:GT?#3c. That being said, by the time series 2, 13, 14, and the 2022 specials have been promoted, series 15 could probably be nominated anyway. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:53, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

We should probably put series 15 for peer review when the last of the above gets picked up for GAN review- which, because of the GAN backlog drive, should probably be first week of Feb or earlier. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 14:08, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

I plan to work on Doctor Who series 13 next month, and with TheDoctorWho working on the 2022 specials, we would probably get everything promoted by the end of the year, or January(as it will have a GAN Backlog Drive). DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 15:24, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

I'd be willing to help out with series 13, as well as co-nom a GAN, once you get around to it. It should give me just enough time to wrap up work on the 2022 specials. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:37, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Would you like to help out on Series 13, TheDoctorWho- I can do the part which involves reading through the Yearbook and reviews, and you can add info per the BTS videos (they are linked on its talk page already)? Good job on the 2022 specials btw. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 16:44, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Absolutely, I'd love to!

I should hopefully be able to start on this over the next few days, within a week at the latest. Shouldn't take me too long with the amount of content that is available. TheDoctorWho (talk) 18:30, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

I have fixed many of the issues, and only a few remain. I might not be able to edit properly for the next few days, so I have GANed it already, as they take time to get picked up, and so you can add the info between now and then. Feel free to add yourself as co-nom. Also, I have sent you a source on Discord which can be useful, but can be hard to find online. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 17:05, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Sounds good. I'm a tad busy currently with the holiday, but I should definitely have time to buckle down and knock it out after Sunday (which will presumably still be well before the nomination is picked up). It looks like you've already added quite a bit, I'll see what else I can pull from the videos and any other online source I find. I've responded on Discord. TheDoctorWho (talk) 00:04, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

@Pokelego999, DoctorWhoFan91, and Pokelego999: pinging you guys here for ease of discussion without having to paste this update multiple places. I'm experiencing a bit of burnout right now in terms of major research and writing projects. I still plan on helping out where and when I'm feeling up for it, but don't currently feel comfortable making specific promises on when I'll have specific things done.

That said, it doesn't really seem to be affecting any of my back-end work, so I'll still help out with the newsletter, and participate in discussions, and work on all of my GAN's that have already been nominated or co-nominated. Outside of that, I'll likely keep making minor updates to things I see that need fixing.

This type of burnout doesn't typically last long for me, so I hope that I'll be back to my regular participation levels by the time series 15 airs for me so we can hopefully work towards a GT for that while it's airing. In the meantime, when I do feel like making more significant edits I'll probably focus on series 13 first given that it's already been nominated for GA. After that I'll move on to the series 7 mini-episodes (I honestly don't expect the series 7 GT to get demoted tomorrow or anything given that we've had a discussion about what we're working towards and know what we need to do). TheDoctorWho (talk) 18:35, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

(@OlifanofmrTennant: accidentally pinged Pokelego999 twice instead of you to the above update.) TheDoctorWho (talk) 18:37, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Hope the burnout ends soon. Glad you told us. (I can try to make the edits to series 13 if you want-there is a GAN backlog drive next month, so I think it will be unreviewed for atleast this month, so take your time). DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 22:55, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Don't push yourself if you aren't up for it. Take as much time as you need. Enjoy the break man! Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:18, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@TheDoctorWho: Great job on getting two more articles in this topic to GA. Does it seem likely that you would finish up Series 13 by the end of the year, because I can finish it if you want- as I might ask someone to review it as part of a 'quid pro quo'. Also, let's finish up the revived series list to FL- this goal might get completed in Jan, if not Feb, it seems (@OlifanofmrTennant: you were planning on editing the lead, right?). We have all signup for the WikiCup, so two birds with one stone. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 13:45, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I think we should send series 15 to PR, as series 13 is almost a GA now, and the revived era episode list is likely to be an FL soon. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 14:13, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Go ahead Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:10, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Series 15 is at PR.(we just need reviews now, bcs PR doesn't get much reviews honestly) Series 13 is a GA, and the list of episodes is either gonna be an FLC soon or never (why doesn't the BBC release the appreciation index itself anymore :(). DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 10:46, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

I have nominated this as GTC. Could someone check to see that I haven't forgotten anything or messed it up somehow? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:10, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

I'd love to help where I can! I may not have a chance to do much until after the holiday weekend is over, but I should be able to split my time between these and series 13. TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:33, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm afraid my interest mostly began and ended back in 2012/13 after I created the articles, sorry. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant: I sincerely apologize for the delayed response. As the burnout I mentioned previously started to fade I got swamped with a number of my GAN's getting reviewed in one swoop. I'm still interested in helping out with these and I'll try to get to them over the next few weeks. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:07, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
