I made some edits to reflect his appearance in the 50th anniversary special. If I've done anything improper, please revert - I'm not an expert at conventions for editing these pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EleanorLockhart ( talk • contribs) 21:19, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
I noticed that in the sidebar his last appearance is listed as Dimensions in Time(93)... I don't know if of the Day of the Doctor appearance is technically the fourth doctor, apparently there's some debate, but it seemed to be strongly implied. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.162.199 ( talk) 00:20, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
Tom Baker was the best Doctor, easily. McCoy was a close second. 24.51.217.118 ( talk) 07:22, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
A) Wikipedia didn't add anything. That link is from an earlier post but because there is no dedicated references section on Talk Pages it is automatically posted to the bottom of the page, so chill. B) Your entire section adds nothing to a previous question, nor does it raise a new one, but is merely a fan pointing out something of his personal preference which is irrelevant here. Vyselink ( talk) 15:21, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Why do we list every audio the Fourth Doctor appears in when there's a box at the end for that? Not to mention that most of the full-cast (i.e. starring Tom Baker) ones are referred to as "story relayed by 4th Doctor" when that's not the case. Only the ones with narration by a character should get that moniker. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.11.108.74 ( talk) 12:13, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
MarnetteD Thought it'd be best to take it here. Which term is the US term? Iconic? Concerning iconic, the term is mentioned two other times in the article, primarily in relation to Four's scarf. -- Alex TW 22:06, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
The infobox lists the Fourth Doctor's tenure as starting on 8 June 1974, the date he appeared in the final episode of Planet of the Spiders. For internal consistency within the infobox, and to match the table at The Doctor (Doctor Who) § Actors, I think the date should be 28 December 1974, when the first episode of Robot aired.-- Trystan ( talk) 18:27, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
