Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who/Torchwood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do we really need this project? It seems a bit much, as isn't Torchwood already covered by WikiProjectDoctorWho? Maybe we should rename the original Wikiproject "WikiProjectDoctorWhoUniverse" instead? --GracieLizzie 17:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I think it is needed. With a second series confirmed and merchandise due to be released along with many articles on Wikipedia I think we should have it. Xdt 18:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't think it's needed at all. WP:BUFFYverse covers Buffy AND Angel AND Fray AND anything else. The Who fans are the experts, and it's all so intertextual that all the policies need to be exactly the same and cooperate. The existence of this entire Wikiproject is incredibly problematic.~ZytheTalk to me! 23:15, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I have to agree with Zythe - I don't really see the point, the project is likely to be made up of the same people from the Doctor Who project anyway, and I would think we'd want just one style guide for all the Who-related shows. --Brian Olsen 23:58, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
One more agreement here - the content is well-covered by the Who project. If you only want to work on Torchwood content, just join the Who project and keep your contributions in TW's direction - no harm done. Radagast 00:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Contents

[edit] Spanish

Hello all, I've started creating some Torchwood pages in spanish, particularly the List of episodes, main article, and I've started some of the episode pages... What do you think? Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 05:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CFD notice

Removed cfdnotice, cfd has completed. --Kbdank71 15:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Please also note Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 February 20 for a review of the decision regarding Category:Actors by series. Tim! 08:05, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Templates & Barnstars

Hey all, I have created some useful templates and a Barnstar for the group to consider, I have posted them on the main page, please leave me a note here to discuss if you'd like to keep these, or if I should add/subtract to them. RobHoitt 01:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Has been awarded to someone, somewhere, for some reason....

[edit] Style guide

I've trimmed the style guide to remove some items with no relevence to Torchwood. I need someone to check what is down on Story titles at the beginning of story articles- are they bolded, bolded and italisied, or bolded and in quotes? --OZOO (What?) 15:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Torchwood templates

It turns out that the image being used in some templates (namely {{WikiProject Torchwood}}, {{ProjectTorchwood}} and {{TorchwoodWP}}) was non-free, contra current policy (cf. here and here), which meant, among other things, that we had a bunch of people unknowingly harbouring the content on their user pages. I've therefore removed it from said templates. If anyone can think of a possible free replacement, or is willing to make one, that would be useful. Cheers. --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 11:39, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I propose using the free image Image:Roald_Dahl_Plass_-_Cardiff.jpg instead, as that is one of the main symbols of the series. If no one has any objections I'll add it tonight. --OZOO (What?) 09:39, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Looks good to me. --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 09:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
All changed --OZOO (What?) 12:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Torchwood story chronology

I propose that we make a page on all the Torchwood stories including the novels. I've already created a Doctor Who one called Doctor Who story chronology though it's already a mess as I'm the only one keeping it up with other people messing it up. So what do you say. I'll start off the page. VitasV 28/8/07 —Preceding unsigned comment added by VitasV (talk • contribs) 08:37, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Well I might jsut revert the page back to how it was before I added the references, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth doctor sectons. Just to show how much I've messed it up. StuartDD 10:01, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Exiting Worlds (Torchwood) up for AfD

The article Exiting Worlds (Torchwood) if up for deletion due to being completely unsourced. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Exiting Worlds (Torchwood). — Edokter • Talk • 20:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greeks Bearing Gifts (Torchwood)

To the members of the project please be aware that User:Nuttah is proposing to put this one episode up for WP:AFD. As I am not quite sure what third party sources can be used when recapping an episode of a TV series I thought that maybe some of you can give suggestions and/or be prepared to comment if/when it goes to AFD. Thanks for any help that you can give. MarnetteD | Talk 22:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

As a note I did not propose to delete the article. I tagged it for improvement to meet the notability requiremets at Wikipedia:Television Episodes. User:MarnetteD repeatedly removed these and said that I should take it to AfD. As I have already stated at the user page, I am happy to leave the article tagged for improvement, but MarnetteD has made it clear they will disagree and remove any tags. Nuttah 22:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Please don't feel pushed toward an unnecessary AfD. The concerns will be addressed. --Ckatzchatspy 00:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger on Captain John Hart

It has been suggested that Captain John Hart be merged with List of Torchwood minor characters. Feel free to comment on the above talk page. StuartDD contributions 13:11, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

  • No need. There's nothing in the article or that we know about the character to justify giving him special treatment over all the other guest-star characters. I have gone ahead and done a redirect to the list article. 23skidoo (talk) 15:31, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Old Torchwood site

The old Torchwood site (2006/2007) links are no longer available and a lot of the information they provide is of little worth or relevance. I am hereby removing references that link to the old Torchwood site as they can no longer be proved or disproved in their accuracy. Any objections? Clockwork Apricot (talk) 09:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

It would be better to change the links to the new ones - the pages are still there - see here. I'm going to start changing some of them. StuartDD contributions 14:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Now changed external links - any references may still need changed. StuartDD contributions 14:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Torchwood Magazine

Torchwood Magazine has been nominated for deletion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Torchwood Magazine Stephenb (Talk) 16:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Main image for "To the Last Man"

Wouldn't it be better if the main image for To the Last Man showed Tommy and Toshiko, since they were the main characters of the episode, as opposed to Gerald and Harriet? --DrBat (talk) 21:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

There is a topic about this on the article's talk page. — Edokter • Talk • 21:35, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggest WikiProject Torchwood become a Doctor Who task force

I would suggest that WikiProject Torchwood become a Doctor Who task force since it is interconnected with Doctor Who to a great extent. What would be changed is...

Category:WikiProject Torchwood members → Category:WikiProject Doctor Who Torchwood task force participants

Template:WikiProject Torchwood → {{WikiProject Doctor Who|Torchwood-task-force=yes}}

Since there isn't much else up yet for this, the move would be relatively easy. - LA @ 13:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
