Outside references
[edit]These have citations, but do the sources back up the implied claims? It's one thing to say Missy alludes to the song "The Bitch is Back" but quite another to say that the scene between the Doctor and Davros "echoes" a similar scene in a graphic novel by Alan Moore. Saying it "echoes" that scene implies the writer is paying some sort of homage to Moore. If the scene or the lines are merely similar and it's a critic noticing the similarity, then it's not actually an outside reference--it's a critic connecting dots which may or may not be there. I've looked up the reference, which looks about blog-level to me, and even it does not outright claim this is an allusion--it merely points out they're similar. If others agree, I believe this one should be removed. ZarhanFastfire (talk) 06:48, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- The suggestion that the scene is somehow a reference to Killing Joke should absolutely be removed. It is not sourced in any reasonable or credible way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:644:0:5C00:91CD:7FFC:9E5B:7D77 (talk) 08:39, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
- The conversation is right here. It dates back to October 1st, it seems. If no one who objects can be bothered to be involved, then the page edit stands.Transformeddispute (talk) 03:23, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- And still the edits are reverted without any attempt at discussion. Why was I directed to discuss changes on the talk page if no one will actually participate in discussion here?Transformeddispute (talk) 03:30, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I've given this another 24 hours, yet no response. If people will not participate in the discussion, they have no grounds to argue the edits.Transformeddispute (talk) 04:14, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Davros' eyes
[edit]Do you think it worth mentioning that Davros has usable eyes as it's never been referenced to on the show before? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.44.127 (talk) 03:08, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
