As prompted by user Ebyabe for discussion.

The image currently posted in the article (Messier image, busy) isn't quite how the character was portrayed during the actual TV series. Not to mention, that image is only slightly worse since the suit is showing his tie and shirt underneath. The image has a bad background and has Rose's arm in it, as well.

The image doesn't necessarily have to be the one I have chosen (Cleaner image, not busy), but the image up right now calls for replacement. gapogapa (talk) 23:17, 6 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

I agree with Gapogapa. As long as the image is suitable for WP (no copyrights etc) then I'm for changing it. Vyselink (talk) 01:57, 7 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

I linked the images, as non-free images are not allowed on talk pages. "Calls for replacement" is not a suitable reason to change a non-free image, unless you can of course find a freely licenced image, but I doubt it. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 15:56, 7 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

A fan art image is being added to the page. Is this appropriate? Please discuss. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Repel All Boarders ‖ 18:58, 22 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

In The Stolen Earth / Journey's End, the Tenth Doctor regenerated into himself, and it has been established through canon The Time of the Doctor that this was an independent regeneration, and that he "chose" to keep the same attributes. Shouldn't the mention of a double incarnation of the same doctor be included in the article? Michaelopolis (talk) 05:15, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

How is it important to this character (ie, does it affect the performance or character history)? It's already mentioned in the above articles as a plot point for those episodes. DonQuixote (talk) 13:27, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Was he appeared in this spin-off? I couldn't see him there... --Infovarius (talk) 21:33, 16 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Why is the profile image so bad? 84.203.15.48 (talk) 17:06, 27 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Because since it's what we call a "free image" (free as in freedom), we actually have the rights to use it; by the English Wikipedia's policies to not get sued, much better photos we don't have the rights to can only be used under low-res fair use if there are no free images that suffice, and this one borderline makes do.
