Tenses
I left a message on the Manual of Style talk page, but don't know if you saw it. I suggested that you bring the tense discussion up on the panopticon forum, where more users will see it and debate it, rather than on the MOS talk page, where less users will see it. --The Thirteenth Doctor 18:52, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, I did see it as I am on the automatic watch system. I was merely doing what I was told to do after I saw a tense revision on the sonic screwdriver page and it seemed to make less sense. The writer (suphur) told me he/she was following the manual of style and to check it out there. So I was merely raising the issue to see whether people agreed that a current object should be refered to in the current tense. I mean, you wouldn't go on wikipedia and find an article about mars bars saying 'mars bars were a confectionary treat made by the mars company' whilst they are still in production. I know Doctor who isn't set in one time zone, but any object on the Doctor's person or in his TARDIS is to him a currently existing object and he would refer to it in the present tense frequently. It just seems to make more sense is all. Pharap 21:09, September 27, 2010 (UTC) 21:19: Tue 20 Dec 2011
