Talk:Thirteenth Doctor

Image as of start of new season
We have very specific guidelines for infobox images. See Tardis:Guide to images. Also, we require community discussion before changing infobox images for popular characters. There is now a hidden note saying not to change the image that is currently in use. Shambala108 ☎  03:05, October 10, 2018 (UTC)

New infobox image
Here we go again. New Doctor, new season, and there's no real reason to hang onto a poorly lit shot from the end of Christmas, when that's no longer our only option.

I put together what I think are the best options The Woman Who Fell to Earth gave us. I have no doubt other episodes in series 11 will give us some gems, as well, but here's our starting-off point.

Options are to the right, clearly numbered. I definitely think we should change the picture from the current (also pictured at right). Any of these other options is better. (I can say that; it was my image.)

If you're thinking of suggesting any new images, please keep in mind Tardis:Guide to images.

I personally love the first three here the best. 09:59, October 11, 2018 (UTC)


 * Whilst I also like the first three there, I'd have to go with the first one, as I think it would be better to have an image of her in her actual costume. This applies to the second one as well, but keeping in mind the image guide, I think the first is better as she's 'looking at the article'. I'll take a quick look at the end of the episode and see if there are any other closeups that look good as well. 0003c9fe ☎  10:14, October 11, 2018 (UTC)


 * I've added a cropped version of the first image and labelled it #6 instead of #1b to avoid confusion with talk of the "first three". It has more focus on the Doctor's face and does not feature the hung up clothes which could be considered background distractions. --Borisashton ☎  11:24, October 11, 2018 (UTC)


 * While I understand the desire to replace the image with one that is better lit, is it not best to wait until the entirety of Series 11 has been released? To change now means little until we have enough images to really warrant a change and are able to do it conclusively rather than us deciding on a new image by the time the third episode airs only to reopen discussions anyway by the end of the season since another 7 episodes, all full of potential for new images, are released. Further, none of the images are as well cropped or conveying much of the Doctor's happy, wild, excited personality as the current one does. Such is another point; we do not yet know the Thirteenth Doctor's set personality so have little to base the image on accurately representing the Doctor's character. Quite simply, what's the rush?

 * I agree. This character has had all of two appearances. If we wait for at least halfway through the season, we get more images and more idea of personality. It also gives users a chance to carefully read through our guidelines at Tardis:Guide to images, because, frankly, every image posted here fails our guidelines for tight focus and cropping. Take a look at the infoboxes on the other Doctor pages and you can see how close we want the infobox image to be cropped. Shambala108  ☎  14:09, October 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * While I do like #1 the most I agree with waiting a little while longer to get a better picture. StevieGLiverpool ☎  19:37, October 11, 2018 (UTC)

As with the Twelfth Doctor debate before, I suggest we refrain from picking a new image until all of Series 11 has aired. On that note, of all the images posted here the one currently being used is the best. It's the most ideally cropped and the most recognisable.

To put it short, the current image is a close-up of Jodie's face. I feel like most all of these other images are regular shots of Jodie which have been cropped to appear closer to our standard. I would suggest seeking out well-lit close-ups of Jodie as the series goes on (Episode 2 seemed obsessed with random close-ups, didn't it? Too bad they were mostly poorly lit.)
