TARDIS[edit]

I've een working on this with various other editors over the last year or so, and I think it's gotten to the point where it can be a FAC. Any suggestions on improvement to make any subsequent nominating process less painful would be appreciated. --khaosworks 11:32, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

  • Since when (what episode?) is the current doctor the last of his kind as was repeatedly stated in the new series? Your description of other TARDISes implies there's other Time Lords still alive. Mgm|(talk) 12:03, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
Hm, point taken. We don't know when the destruction of Gallifrey happened, just that it did sometime prior to the first episode of the new series. I've changed the tenses to past tense in that section, in any case, and added a sentence to clarify.
  • You've probably done this already, but check Dalek and make sure you've covered similar ground. Is there TARDIS merchandising for example?--nixie 23:44, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • The TARDIS has been a keyring, a bank (money box), cufflinks, and even a cookie jar! (thanks ebay!) --JohnDBuell | Talk 21:12, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Is it known officially by its acronym? Otherwise it should be spelled out in the title. If it is, the article should say it is the name, not just the acronym. --Dmcdevit 07:55, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • A quick google search shows that TARDIS (all caps) is a registered trademark of the BBC. The acronym was spelled out in the very first episode - I don't know if the BBC has trademarked "Time and Relative Dimension(s) in Space) or not.... --JohnDBuell | Talk 21:09, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
