Reader feedback: Broadcast in The Netherlands...

46.44.150.73 posted this comment on 22 November 2013 (view all feedback).

Broadcast in The Netherlands will also be via BBC 1

Any thoughts?

So how is this not GA rated yet?

Not sure how many people have been involved here but this article is pretty high-quality.

Looks like it cites one-hundred-and-fourteen (114) references.

How come no one's nominated it for WP:GAN consideration yet?

The Doctor section

I don't understand this line:

"Eleven of the twelve actors who portrayed the different Doctors on-screen are collectively credited as "The Doctor"; Capaldi is uncredited."

There were thirteen actors playing the character in the story, twelve of whom were credited as 'the Doctor'. I tried editing this and it was immediately edited back on the basis that the original version is correct. How so?90.208.24.253 (talk) 23:42, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes actually that does seem correct. Twelve actors are credited as the Doctor. Mezigue (talk) 09:17, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Three actors with major roles as the Doctor, the rest with cameos which are noted elsewhere in the article. Look at the latest Archived discussions. This issue was thoroughly hashed out there. Sir Rhosis (talk) 10:46, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- That was a broader discussion about how they are billed in the infobox and various sections, wasn't it? But the specific sentence "Eleven of the twelve actors who portrayed the different Doctors on-screen are collectively credited as "The Doctor" " is wrong: twelve are. This is just factual and easy to check: there are 12 names on that credit screen (with Hurt but not Capaldi) Mezigue (talk) 11:14, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cinema screening in Uruguay

The episode was screened in a theater in Uruguay, simultaneously with the rest of the world, and later on TV. Can the map be edited to reflect this? MaGnUs was here! (talk) 14:02, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
