Additional Reference to Doctor Who in Pop Culture, etc.

On the show "Leverage" during the episode "The Frame Up Job", characters Sophie Devereaux (played by Gina Bellman) and James Sterling (played by Mark Sheppard, who guest starred in DW episodes "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon" as Special Agent Canton Everett Delaware III) introduce themselves as "Agents Tennant and Smith". Also, during the same episode, Sophie Devereaux is heard exclaiming "Spoilers!" in reference to one Mrs. River Song.

Find a couple of secondary reliable sources for this claim and you might be able to add it to the Leverage (TV series) article. It still doesn't belong here, though. Chunk5Darth (talk) 21:36, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

imagemap

I see that this page is locked. However, I would like to propose the following edit.

The media file, File:Versions_of_the_Doctor.jpg, is a composite of twelve images of the Dr. Who characters. I would like to wrap that media file with imagemap tags so that each image could serve as a link to the wikipedia page of the corresponding Dr. Who.

The problem there is that it's a non-free image, and therefore, clicking the image must take you to the file description page, so that the attribution, FUR and copyright status may be viewed. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:11, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

What about the War Doctor? Physicsandwhiskey (talk) 17:20, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

What about him? --Redrose64 (talk) 18:29, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Whoops, I incorrectly assumed the image was made by an editor. Physicsandwhiskey (talk) 18:46, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

It used to be an image map. And the FUR requirements is met by way of the blue info icon; nowhere does it say that a click on the entire image must be to the description page. — Edokter (talk) — 21:53, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

War Doctor

Should the War Doctor from the 50th Anniversary special be added to the list of Doctors? He was one of them afterall.--Ditto51 (My Talk Page) 15:12, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

• See various discussions at Talk:List of actors who have played the Doctor, Talk:War Doctor, and Talk:Doctor (Doctor Who) to get an idea of what you just put your foot into. G S Palmer (talk) 15:25, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Doctor Who events in North American cinemas

Several Doctor Who-themed cinema events have taken place across the United States in 2013 and 2014. In celebration of the show’s 50th anniversary, eleven theatres in different cities across the States presented a 3D global simulcast of “The Day of the Doctor” on 23 November 2013. Over 300 additional theatres showed the special on 25 November 2013. The cinema showings included exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, including interviews with David Tennant, Matt Smith, Billie Piper, John Hurt, Jenna Coleman and Steven Moffat. The event was put on by BBC America and NCM Fathom Events [1]. In a two-night celebration June 16-17, 2014, fans in over 620 theatres across the States came together to honor the tenth Doctor David Tennant and his acting endeavors after Doctor Who. On Monday “The Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel” episodes were shown back-to-back, ending with an exclusive Tennant interview about his time shooting those two episodes and his time as the Doctor. On Tuesday “Wings 3D,” a documentary narrated by Tennant, was shown. Fans purchased one ticket for entrance to both showings. The Tennant event was put on by BBC Worldwide North America and Fathom Events "BBC Worldwide and Fathom Events Celebrate David Tennant by Bringing Doctor Who and the Premiere of BBC Earth's Wings 3D to the Big Screen".

The 50th anniversary cinema showings were all over the news. The single occasion of an old episode being shown is not notable in itself. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 09:00, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

I found a Dr.Who wiki :: http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_Wiki . I have inserted a link to it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:06, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Starring... incorrect dates!

In the right-hand column under "Starring" it reads "As of 2014 Peter Capaldi" and "As of 2014 Jenna Coleman". This is incorrect. It should read "As of 2013 Peter Capaldi" and "As of 2012 Jenna Coleman." Jenna Coleman has been appearing as Clara since 2012 alongside Matt Smith since the story "Asylum of the Daleks" and Peter Capaldi appeared as the Doctor in "The Day of the Doctor" and became officially incumbent at the end of the 2013 Christmas special "The Time of the Doctor". — Preceding unsigned comment added by SickyHampton (talk • contribs) 03:55, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

None of these earlier appearances are official acoording to the WP:RS sources. They are at best guest appearances. MarnetteD|Talk 04:02, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

The phrase is "as of 2014" as in "as of today". DonQuixote (talk) 04:05, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Season 8

I was just wondering. Is anybody really excited for season 8 of Doctor Who with Peter Capaldi?
