Dot and Bubble

Would you be opposed to me being a co-nom on Dot and Bubble? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:35, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Absolutely not! Just listed you. I meant to ask before I nominated this time, but got sidetracked. I saw your ping on the Series 14 page btw. I have SB and TCORR on my to-do list. I do have access to the full Unleashed episode for TCORR so that may help. Would you be interested in co-nominations on those two episodes as well? TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Absolutly. Looking into aquiring a bluray of TCORR as I'm fairly certain it contains the unleashed episode. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:44, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

It sucks not having access to iPlayer in America. The full episodes of Unleashed for TCORR and the 2023 specials are available for semi-cheap purchase on Amazon. I bought all four. I'm hoping they eventually had Series 14 to those as well, but the four that are on there weren't added until at least after Christmas (not sure of the exact date), so it may not be until after the series finishes airing. I'm also pretty confident that the Behind the Scenes videos on YouTube are cutdown versions of the full Unleashed episodes, but we're only getting one-third to one-half of the episode with those.

Would you like to be put down as co-nom for TDC gan? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

I'd love to, if you don't mind. I hope to eventually get a filming section into that article before the GAN review. Sadly there's only so much time in a day TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:34, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Doctor Who - Rogue - Music

Hi there,

I understand that you deleted my reference to "Libertango" by Astor Piazzolla because you thought that the references weren't valid, however it does not change the fact that the music is in the episode.

If you watch the episode at around 20:50 and onwards while the Doctor and Rogue dance, you will hear a piece of music being played. It is the same as 3:40 in this performance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MepPfI7ebMY - which is a performance of Libertango by Astor Piazzolla. I recognised it because there was a well known cover by Grace Jones in the 80's, which I first incorrectly referenced, however even though I cannot find a journalist who mentions it, the piece is unmistakably Libertango.

I don't really care but I would think that people who are as interested in Doctor Who as you seem to be would care to know a relevant fact about the episode. It is not as if all facts on Wikipedia are required to have a reference, and yes I possibly did overdo it with unreliable references because an earlier edit removed my edit for having no references, however one only has to listen to a few seconds of the episode and a few seconds of the relevant piece to realise that it is in fact the piece, regardless of whether a notable source has realised as such. It is probably that there are precious few references to any of the music in the episode and that the person who wrote the single article that does reference the other pieces mentioned was not alive in the 1980s and had no clue that the piece being played was in fact quite famous. This does not, however, change the fact that a simple listening to the piece with reference to the music in the episode demonstrates clearly that it is in fact the piece played.

As I said, I don't really care for petty edit wars, and this is about the most petty and pointless edit war ever and doesn't speak much for the character of those who are waging it, but the facts are undeniable. That clearly demonstrates a failing on the part of the two people who chose to bury an undeniable fact because they believe that facts are not important. It also demonstrates that Wikipedia lacks appropriate mechanisms for referencing pieces of music that work without a teenage journalist having to have knowledge of music before the year 2000.

So, if you actually care about facts, perhaps you could find a way to leave this fact in the article. I don't personally care that my edit that pointed to an undeniable fact was cut out, but you need to choose whether you care about facts at all. Your actions so far say otherwise.
