Talk:Rose (TV story)

Still in the editing stages, i will let people know on here when it is complete.

Expect the dialogue to die for the continue expanding but cant seem to find any dialogue to bury so far....--Amxitsa 16:23, 29 Mar 2005 (EST)

Perhaps the "dialogue to bury" section should be dropped. For one thing, it can compromise the neutral POV of the site. Simply including memorable dialogue from each story should be enough. --Freethinker1of1 21:59, 30 Mar 2005 (EST)

I agree with Freethinker on the last point but would argue that this also applies to the 'dialogue to die for' section as this is equally subjective. --Mantrid 23:30, 30 Mar 2005 (EST)

Ok, agreed, I will remove the dialogue to die for and dialogue to bury. What about one new section called quotes which can contain any memorable quotes good or bad. I also plan to move the quotes when i have finished to a new page as they are taking up too much of this one Thanks --Amxitsa 15:34, 31 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * I like the idea of the "Quotes" section. Not sure whether it needs to be moved to another page, though. --Josiah Rowe 23:10, 31 Mar 2005 (EST)

Ok so the page is finally complete, I have put in all of the info that I can think of to include at the moment.

What do people think of the page as a whole, i have tried to include all of the info that was on the original story template page but to expand upon it to create a much more detailed story summary.

I have left all of the quotes on the main page in the end as I dont think they are going to make the page too lengthy (which had been my original concern). I think Rose is probably going to be one of the more quotable stories in the show anyway.

So let me know what you think. I was also wondering do you think we should be deleting the text in these discussion threads as we go, for example the argument over dialogue use has been resolved so should it remain on here as a record of development or be deleted when no longer relevant. Personally I would go with deleting irrelevant conversations as we dont want these pages to become too cluttered.

 * The page looks great, Amxitsa. I can't think of anything the page needs at this stage, except some images.  (I'm still ignorant about that — we need to figure out an image policy, I suppose.)


 * Now that you're finished, I think I'll take an editing pass over the article, if you don't mind: nothing big, just punctuation and such. I like your idea of having a short summary on the page proper, and another page for a detailed summary: I may change the TV Movie page to that form (since my summary of that was way too long). --Josiah Rowe 01:59, 4 Apr 2005 (EDT)


 * One detail: I think that we don't need to turn every mention of a character, place, piece of technology, etc. in a page into a wiki link — once per section should do. I think it's better wiki style to have one link to, say, the Doctor in the summary and one in the credits listing, et cetera.  This should probably be put into the Manual of Style (unless you or someone else disagrees). --Josiah Rowe 02:11, 4 Apr 2005 (EDT)


 * Pleased you like it. I thought about putting an image on the page but decided that it was probably best to leave it to someone who knows what they are doing. On the issue of how many wiki links to have I really can't decide. I like the idea of having every reference linked and think it looks better on the page. Having only one per section would make the pages much easier to write though. Not sure what is best.--Amxitsa 15:54, 4 Apr 2005 (EDT)

I disagree that the Doctor was being patronizing when Rose said that the Autons must be students. It looks to me as if he's recognizing that she's come up with a genuinely intelligent theory (even if it happens to be wrong).

Maybe the contents of the bin were collected and the owner simply hadn't bothered to take it back home? - 131.211.210.15 08:37, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * When Mickey opens the wheelie bin it is empty. Why would a person put an empty bin out for collection?

Added Plot

Hi, i just notice that on Mickey's PC there is a "46" sticker of the rider Valentino Rossi, also nicknamed "The Doctor"...i thought it was deliberately set :) Or is just a case? P.s: Sorry for my english!
