[edit] First doctor?

Since The Doctor goes back centuries (as seen in multiple flashbacks and visits to the Garden of Ancestral Memory) I question the use of the phrase First Doctor in this article. Perhaps it should be changed to Previous Doctor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.9.153.42 (talk • contribs) 09:47, 11 June 2006

"Earliest known doctor" would be better... What about their powers/abilities?

• As for their powers - I quote a conversation between Hawksmoor and the Doctor, from the Authority/Planetary crossover.

Jack: Are you sure your force-field will hold?
The Doctor: Of course I'm sure. It's a storm wall, and what we're facing is only rain.
Jack: It's not 'rain', it's ninety thousand tons of exploding alien octopus demon!
The Doctor: Shut up. Shamanic magic is poetic. If I say it's rain, it's rain.
Jack: What if we don't say it's rain?
The Doctor: Then the force-field fails, and we're all crushed under ninety thousand tons of exploding alien octopus demon.
Jack: ... light summer rain.

Seems pretty clear to me. DS 20:11, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Authority-DoctorbyHitch.jpg

Image:Authority-DoctorbyHitch.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
