  2. Returning to 1807: Upon returning to 1807

Production

[edit]
  1. Jodie Whittaker stars in the episode as the thirteenth incarnation of the Doctor: should it be "starred", since all the subsequent cast members are in the past tense?
  2. Craig Els, who portrayed Karvanista in series thirteen played Marsissus: series thirteen, played Marsissus
  3. episodes Director of Photography: I am a bit confused by this sentence. Should it be "episode's Director of Photography"?

  2. In the United States, the simulcast was seen by 283,000, while the later broadcast was viewed by 209,000: perhaps "viewers" could be added after the numbers? I noticed that previous mentions of the UK viewership also included the word "viewers".

    • The source listed David K S. Tse's character as "Ying Was", for fives times, unlikely a typo.
    • Craig Els was listed as Craige Els.
  • Source 21: checkY
  • Source 24:
    • The line "included some nods to the original look, weaving netting through the costumes" is presented in the third person, rather than as a direct quote from Holman

I am uncertain about the reliability of CultBox and Doctor Who News, especially since both sources are cited multiple times in the article. I did not find them listed in RSN or Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who. May I ask if they are considered reliable? —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 15:29, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

[edit]

TheDoctorWho, this article is overall very well-written! Earwig shows that copyvio is unlikely; the 37.5% similarity comes from a direct quote from CultBox. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 15:29, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Prince of Erebor: I have reviewed and can confirm that Tse is credited as Ying Wai in the episode's closing credits. I've added an additional source to that statement, which also supports the Wai spelling. CultBox and Doctor Who News were recently determined to be unreliable as self-published sources through discussions on the project talk page. I have replaced those where possible, and removed statements where no replacement sources exist. Everything else has been addressed as listed above.

I have confirmed that all the items listed above have been addressed. The new SlashFilm source supports the Ying Wai spelling. All unreliable sources have been removed, and the new sources 34 (TVLine) and 43 (ShowBuzzDaily) check out. Everything has been properly handled. Excellent work on the article, TheDoctorWho! —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 09:23, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
