Talk:Earth

Is there any particular reason why some text is italicised? Azes13 12:56, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I think that This should really be moved to Sol III


 * Earth has gone by so many names in the Whoniverse that we might as well just use the most frequently used one. --Stardizzy? 18:19, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

needs a different photo
the current picture comes from real life rather than Doctor Who or spin-offs. I vote for using one of those beautiful space shots from Warriors of Kudlak, however I can't think where you can get Sarah Jane Adventures screenshots. --Stardizzy? 18:19, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I have uploaded a picture from Earthshock. This is Earth in 2526. --Steed 7:22 March 19 2008

The Ark
We already have a picture of the CGI Earth from the Earthshock DVD, so I thought I'd replace the image of the Ark with the CGI version from The Ark in Space DVD.--The Traveller 12:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Other sapients
When I encountered it, article said:
 * Several sapient and semi-sapient species evolved on Earth, though the most important and influential ones were the humans and Earth Reptiles.

I left it in the article, for now, but can someone clarify this? What other DWU sapient species are there but Humans and Homo Reptilia?

Category:Earth sentients. See the category, there are quite a few.--Skittles the hog-- Talk 16:38, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

4.6 billion or 6 billion
So it seems like there's a pretty big contradiction in the history section; in "The Runaway Bride", a Racnoss ship formed the core of the Earth 4.6 billion years before 2007, but in "Hide", which takes 33 years before "The Runaway Bride", the Doctor goes back to an already fully-formed (albeit entirely molten) Earth which he describes as being six billion years old. Should this be noted somewhere on the page? Perhaps in the "Behind The Scenes" section? Ensephylon ☎  23:07, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * This happens a lot in Doctor Who. We usually put something like: "According to one account, the Earth was ..." in the body of the article. Shambala108 ☎  00:30, April 26, 2013 (UTC)

Intelligent lizard species from before the Silurians
I have a feeling that the "100,000 years later" thing is misattributed. Somehow I doubt either Doctor Who and the Silurians or The Sea Devils mention the Silurians post-dating an extinct species obliquely mentioned in the NAs. -- Tybort (talk page) 23:40, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Nerva Beacon's launch date
This page says that solar flares resulted in the Nerva Beacon launching in 6087 based on one of the audio dramas. However, this contradicts the episode itself, in which the Doctor dates the ship to the late 29th or early 30th century. This date would also make it consistent with The Beast Below. -- Dark T Zeratul ☎  05:24, May 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's not what the page says at all. This page says nothing about when Nerva was constructed, just that the flares hit in 6087. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Revenge of the Cybermen establishes that Nerva Beacon was not launched with the solar flares in mind and wasn't even originally set up in Earth orbit. Season 12 is not fresh in my mind though, and I don't think I've seen Revenge in full. -- Tybort (talk page) 11:58, May 26, 2014 (UTC)

"Political" section
The section should IMHO be shortened to contain only the most important information and not a detailed chronicle of all Earth political events that appear in DWU sources. Movsar ☎  14:26, May 21, 2015 (UTC)
