 * The Gallifreyan defenses seems well placed and nicely researched. I think it can stay there for now...I mean it's about Gallifrey, and we can't just have the Gallifrey page filled with links off to other more specific pages. --Tangerineduel 14:08, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Mountain ranges!
Re. query was "mountains of Solace and Solitude" meant to be the name of the range or that of the mountains the Citadel was set between?

Have checked the references with this clip from Sound of Drums. Seems like the Citadel is actually there: "On the continent of Wild Endeavour, in the Mountains of Solace and Solitude, there stood the Citadel of the Time Lords."

Both?

 * I read somewhere that this refers to actual mountains, one named Solace, the other Solitude. (I bet the RTD-approved The Doctor Who Encyclopedia would have the definitive answer, though.

Baanjxx?
Isn't there a wild animal on Gallifrey known as the Baanjxx? I know it's only been mentioned in the cookbook, (Unless Drax referenced them and not the Earth slang word in "The Armageddon Factor"...), but it might be interesting to add them... 70.153.12.254 20:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I have seen "The Armageddon Factor" many times, but I don't remember his saying any such thing.


 * He said something like "I reckon we're Banjaxed for sure." at the start of episode 4, though this could be a reference to the Earth slang term. 70.153.12.254 03:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Transduction Barrier
Having not watched The Invasion of Time in a while, I can't verify this, but I seem to recall the Transduction Barrier working similarly to the way davros hid the 27 planets in the Medusa Cascade. It put the Gallifrey system seven seconds out of phase from the rest of the universe, rendering it inaccessible unless one were piloting a TARDIS. Anyone got a copy handy to check?

Distance to Gallifrey
Once or twice, haven't they said Gallifrey is 250 million light years away? (Definitely said that in the 1996 film and possibly somewhere in the TV series) That would put it in a different galaxy, about 100 times farther away than Andromeda. 209.195.119.97 23:06, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Tolkien
Is there any statement from someone involved to Tolkien being an influence, or at lest a better explanation? The way it looks now seems to be an arbitrary unbacked comment. -217.95.189.159

Updated Picture
I've updated the picture of Gallifrey, it reflects what it looks like now trapped inside the Time War.

Gallifrey in Power Rangers?
It seems so. I have proof. Tell me those aren't the coordinates for Gallifrey! (The picture does not have the entire coordinates, but the whole thing is mentioned in the episode "Green Courage" of PW: Lost Galaxy.) AJ the Shinigami 19:27, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
