Sontara?

What's the source for naming the Sontaran home planet as "Sontara"? —Josiah Rowe (talkcontribs) 20:35, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's from the novels - specifically, Craig Hinton names it Sontara in The Crystal Bucephalus, so it's no less valid than putting Polymos for the Autons. Could have sworn when I added that I sourced it... --khaosworks (talkcontribs) 00:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
...and if I had read the entire page carefully, I would have seen that it was right there in the "other appearances" section. My bad. —Josiah Rowe (talkcontribs) 00:50, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Judoon resemblance: encyclopedic?

Do we really think that the fact that a few fans mistook early images of the Judoon for Sontarans is important enough to merit mention in this article? My feeling is that it's not encyclopedic. —Josiah Rowe (talkcontribs) 04:48, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No need. put it on the judoon one though Lollypop2 20:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lynx or 2008?

Which image should be used? The classic series image, or the new series image? We've used the new-series look on Cyberman and Dalek, but at the same time, it could be seen as recentism. Will (talk) 13:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How about the classic image for the info box and the the new image further down the article for comparsion?62.136.107.132 16:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think are new one at top, and Lynx thurther down page. Lollypop2 19:59, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going to switch -- and it does broadly seem like a good idea, given that the show is ongoing and therefore this isn't just a historical record but a set of context for current events (see also Tennant, Simm, and the new series logo) -- you might as well wait until the first episode airs (or approaches air) and better publicity shots become available. Lynx is good enough until Sontarans become actively topical again. --Aderack 06:31, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-- I think that putting the original at the top of the page makes more sense, I think the image of the original should be seen as definitive, seeing thats roughly what the original creators had in mind and is the basis for the newer re-incarnations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ngates87 (talkcontribs) 04:25, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should keep the original picture
