Hey!
Hey, haven't seen you around for a while! Dr. Anonymous1 ☎  17:42, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been busy over the summer, and now that college has started up again, I still don't have much time to devote to this. But now that Doctor Who has come back (at least for the next month or so), I'll be here at least marginally. -- Bold  Clone  17:44, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Death
Regeneration is death. It's a way of cheating death, but it is death. The body dies and then new cells grow in it's place. but death happen first. When the Fifth Doctor dies and then becomes the Sixth, he dies. It is the same thing. Sorry to take such a depressing take on all of it, but regeneration is death. And "Death" is a much better header than "Regeneration", particuarly as every Doctor regenerated twice in his life. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:44, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Besides that point, the Doctor only changes when he dies. Regeneration is a way to avoid death, but only by means of rejuvenation. When the Seventh Doctor was killed in that hopsital he died. Then he regenerated. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 03:15, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * No, he became a stiff. He died. The word "death" has been used multiple time in regeneration stories; including The Caves of Androzani. Regeneration is the process of being reborn after death. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 04:04, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * As the Tenth Doctor said in The End of Time, "Even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I am dies. Some new man goes sauntering away...and I'm dead." Even if he just changes and goes on, it's still death in a way. Everything I am dies. The Tenth Doctor, by definition, is now dead. Now we have the Eleventh. But the Tenth is still dead. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 04:33, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * The proplem here is that every Doctor has two regenerations. Putting a section called "Regeneration" on the Tenth Doctor's page, for example, could refer to either Parting of The Ways or The End of Time. And the death sections on the the Third Doctor's page are a must-keep. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 05:07, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

No, no it wouldn't. Sorry to be so nnegative, but "Death" is frankly more interesting and accurate than "Regeneration", and if a fan truly doesn't understand that regeneration is coming back after death than that's not our proplem. We shouldn't structure pages off of the ideals of new fans; if we did we'd be wiping all pre-2005 info off the map. "Death" is a better and less confusing header than "Regeneration". OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 05:44, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, a forum discussion is best for this one; over wheather the Doctor dies and is ressurected or if he simply "changes". Czech would prop def pull out some sources from books and we could come to a consensus. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 22:09, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Might as well move it to the forum. Make the question over whether regeneration is "changing-pre-death" or "rejuvination-post-death". I feel like Czech can get us some quick sources. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 19:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Spoiler question
Yours is a good question. I had to hunt about on the spoiler policy page before I could find any mention of story titles. I finally found it under "Official Info", where it says, "What, then, do we do with information that comes from a reputable source like the BBC itself? We use it only on the series page. It cannot be used elsewhere. The three biggest types of "official" info are story titles, casting information, and the odd leak of in-universe information."

So under normal circumstances, an upcoming story title can go on the related series page. It's just that the 50th anniversary special and the Christmas special are not considered part of series 7 or 8, so there is no place to list their titles before their releases (except of course at the Howling).

Hope that answers your question! Shambala108 ☎  20:44, December 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Not sure it's quite as hard to find as Shambala makes out. It's covered at T:SPOIL DEF, which defines a spoiler as "any information about an unbroadcast or unreleased story". A title would be part of "any information".   16:23: Mon 23 Dec 2013

I hope I didn't make a mistake with the external link. I can only open one page at a time on my computer, so I have to read, close, and go back and work. If I am in error I will do my best not to repeat it.

Re:Quick question
Hi! I've added a response to your and User:Mewiet's discussion at my talk page. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  14:23, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * In order to stop Shambala getting pinged every single time one of you responds, I've moved the matter to the neutral ground of Thread:158757. 04:37: Sun 13 Jul 2014
