Forum:Eleventh Doctor headings

I think we need to look at having silly names in articles. Where most of the Doctors have proper titles for their adventures, just look at the Eleventh's page and even to an extent the Tenths. They have these silly names for sections with no need for them. I mean, in the Tenth's page, his travels with each companion are in one section, but with the Eleventh's, his travels with his one companion are split into episodes, each with silly titles. I think we should do away with all these silly titles. We can keep headings for each companions era etc, but these silly titles really don't have a place in the article, especially if they are supposed to be in-universe.

 * This discussion would appear closed as the The Thirteenth Doctor and Zythe have unilaterally made the changes without submitting to discussion here. For what it's worth, there wasn't anything "out of universe" about the subheads. You might not have liked them, stylistically, but they didn't fall into OOU territory, as far as I could make out. They didn't, however, obey Tardis:Manual of Style. I, for one, don't mind "non-standard headings" because individuals are individuals. They don't all give us the same info about themselves.


 * No, to me, the problem with this article is something that'll probably get corrected as the "sheen" falls away from the Eleventh Doctor. It's just way overlong. The tendency now is to write up a huge amount on every single adventure, and I think that'll probably get trimmed down as time passes. You could rewrite that whole bio in no more than three paragaphs, really. I mean, in theory, the Eleventh's bio should currently be about the same as the Ninth's, and roughly one-seventh as long as the Fourth's. There's just way, way too much detail there now.


 * But "silly subheads"? Nah, that didn't particularly exist. Interesting, perhaps. Ones that would cause you to read further, maybe. But not silly.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍ 16:57, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think that perhaps you should check your history before you accuse people of things. I didn't remove them at all. I was waiting for the discussion to be had. --The Thirteenth Doctor 17:25, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * There we go, the subheading from the TOA episode has gone from being "Angels and Demons" to "A Deadly Demon" to "A Demon of Stone". The Thirteenth Doctor 20:53, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Now there's "Vincent and the Doctor" changed to "Face to Face with a Mad Man" to "2 Gingers and a Doctor". It's really silly. The Thirteenth Doctor 15:23, July 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Everything (aside from the Behind the scenes section) should be in-universe.
 * Both the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor articles need trimming and with it a title change will likely come.
 * The Eleventh Doctor ones are somewhat silly, or trying too hard to make a series of puns. The information should dictate the titles, but in the mean time I think we should aim for a not-silly tone, serious with some playfullness. The article is about presenting information, but it should also make people want to read it. --Tangerineduel 14:23, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
