Talk:The Master (First Frontier)

Behind the scenes
When I encountered it, article said:
 * According to David A. McIntee; the author of First Frontier, this incarnation of the Master's appearance is based upon that of the actor Basil Rathbone.

and then it had a pic of Basil Rathbone. Well the pic's gone, cause we only host pictures from the DWU around here. But this source doesn't have the word McIntee anywhere on the page. Thus, the source doesn't validate the sentence at all. Oh, and the source is invalid accourding to T:SOURCES. So I've pulled it here in the hopes that someone might be able to properly source it an put it back into the article. 04:12: Sat 22 Oct 2011

Page and Sidebar renaming
I think it'd be nice to rename this Master's page something like "The Tzun Master", in reference to the fact this incarnation came about due to Tzun Nanites, and the fact he's commonly referred to as this. Though I'm not fussed, so pitch names here.

My only real problem with the current naming is how he's referred to on the sidebar - where he's called "old", which is in reference to Tipple's credit as "The Old Master" in the TV Movie. But feels like a conflation to me - Tipple's incarnation wasn't intended to be Tzun, and there's multiple accounts as to which Master was executed in the trial, so conflating the two seems unjustified tbh. I'm not saying make a separate Tipple page (I don't think that's warranted until Big Finish or something establish him as an incarnation in his own right), just suggesting we change the name of the link in the sidebar to be consistent with how we're actually naming him, which should probably also go for other the other incarnations too (atleast after their rename discussions have concluded).

For similar reasons, I should also propose changing the image for this page. TheSpaghetOutcast ☎  09:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
