Just as a query, where did A Town Called Mercy's 9.47 final ratings appear from? I don't believe the BARB association has released any information regarding official ratings yet for this episode. I suggest we wait until the final ratings have been released before writing guesses down, don't you agree? If I am being totally off-hand then please tell me, because I haven't heard of ratings being released so early after the episode's airing.

There seems to be an edit war brewing over the season 7 subheadings recently added by Alex The Whovian. They are entirely reasonable, and quite helpful, but one editor has engaged in an edit war to remove them, but has made no effort to discuss them here, while claiming Alex has no consensus for what are perfectly reasonable, non-controversial edits. There's been a little discussion on Alex's talk page, but the discussion needs to take place here, particularly now that the removing editor has exceeded WP:3RR. -- Drmargi ( talk) 16:29, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
There is NO consenus if not all editors agree with the proposal. There is absolutely no need for these headings, a reader can either work out when the split was from the when the dates are or form reading the first paragraph. The headings thing is a some do, some don't and Doctor Who shouldn't as one series is too short to split into two with the headings, it only works on series which have had one part of the series with at least 15 or so episodes which are not specials, like all the examples User:AlexTheWhovian gave me on his talk page, which then is quite helpful, it can be hard to tell where the split is. As for Doctor Who, this series has never had more than 13 episodes in a series since it was revived and therefore is too small to have the headings without making the table messy and is dead easy to find the split, expecially with "The Snowmen". As for my last edit on this discussion, I don't have any evidence, but AlexThe Whovian and Drmargi have no evidence that it is like that because the BBC believes they should be separate. I have as much say as any other editor, so I've put my comments here, on the most appropiate discussion page, and I'm not doing this because I don't like it, it simply doesn't work, even though it's a nice idea.

The article is pretty close to the standard, just a few improvements that I think should be made before promoting:
The circumstances in which the pair leave...It is a little unclear whether this is talking about the real-world circumstances or the fictional circumstances.
Moffat's "soft mystery" planbut this isn't elaborated on. I feel like a better explanation of this would add to the article.
Grant later returned in...this sentence is unsourced.
Let's start with those for now and I can reassess the article once you have had time to respond. - adamstom97 ( talk) 22:42, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
User:Blacksummerisfuntimescauseitsonnetflix has been adding First/Last appearances of characters to all the revived series Series articles' episode lists summaries. I'm thinking this s too much fannish info for the episode summaries, and is better covered (and in many cases is already) in other sections of the articles. Thoughts?

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Doctor Who series 14 which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 05:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
