Hello WOSO editors ↗! <br><br>What a year to be alive.

Okay–ooh. New <s>teeth</s> newsletter. That's weird...
<big>'''Hello!'''</big>
:Welcome to the first regenerated issue of The Space-Time Telegraph, the official newsletter of WikiProject ''Doctor Who'' ↗. We hope it finds you well in your safe travels across the Whoniverse! This newsletter was founded in 2008 and seemed to get lost in the time vortex quite quickly. Thanks to the Doctor dragging Sutekh through the time vortex and bringing life by bringing death to death (''yeah... I'm a little confused too''), it seems to have regenerated. The writing staff hopes to bring you future editions quarterly.
:For this first edition, we have created an updated version of our mailing list ↗ that includes any active editors who previously had their usernames included in our participants list ↗. If you do not wish to receive future editions, please remove your name from the mailing list. If you no longer wish to participate in the project, please also remove your name from the participants list.
:I think that's enough about the newsletter for now. Let's dive into interesting things happening within the ''Doctor Who'' side of Wikipedia. Geronimooooo.....
{{columns-start|num=2}}
<big>'''Big Spike in Productivity'''</big>
:During 2024, the project has scored 8 GAs, 2 FLs and a GT, up from last year's 4 GAs and a GT. Several additional things are in the pipeline, with a bunch of things currently having been nominated with some mix of OlifanofmrTennant, TheDoctorWho, and Pokelego999 having their names attached to them. Allow me to look into the nominees.
# Series 14: As of July 18th, every single episode has been sent to GAN, with "Boom ↗", "73 Yards ↗", and "The Devil's Chord ↗" having made it to GA.
# 2023 Specials: Early in the year, as part of trying to not lose the WikiCup, Ollie sent "The Star Beast ↗" <small>(still salty about the move)</small> to GAN. It was reviewed by frequent collaborator <small>(fly high)</small> of hers, but failed. She then fixed it up and sent it back where it passed. Later "The Giggle ↗" was expanded and sent to GA, followed shortly by "Wild Blue Yonder ↗". WBY received help by JustAnotherCompanion, a pretty fresh user. This other companion chose not to be listed as co-nom. A page was created for "Destination: Skaro ↗" and quickly got GA status.
# ''The Daleks' Master Plan ↗'' was also sent to GAN by Rhain. It passed to join Rhain's other First Doctor content, being the fourth season three article to get the green check.
# Peter Capaldi: The filmography ↗ and newly created awards ↗ of Capaldi were both sent to FLC and passed. Capaldi's main page was sent to GA, though due to some minor incompetence on the part of the nominator it was failed.
{{column}}
<big>'''Proposals to the WikiProject'''</big>
:A recent proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who ↗ suggested potential improvements and suggestions for the main page of the project, as well as discussions about the project overall. The proposals are as follows:
# The Task Forces section should be removed due to inactivity in the Torchwood Task Force, and a lack of significant interest in creating further Task Forces.
# The freenode channel no longer works and should be removed due to most discussion taking place on site.
# Due to the low quality of ''Lungbarrow ↗'' and ''Jubilee ↗'' despite being sample articles, these articles should either be removed as samples or improved. Additionally, the "sample device" has a very small application field, and should be removed from the sample articles section.
# An updates infobox should be included, similarly to those used by Wikipedia:VGCHAR ↗.

You like Doctor Who? What's his name then?
<big>'''Welcome'''</big>
:Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff.}}
{{columns-start|num=2}}
<big>'''Articles for deletion'''</big>
<br>Several articles have been nominated for deletion, such as Time War (Doctor Who) ↗, and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of WP:SIGCOV ↗ and WP:NBOOK ↗. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up.
<big>'''Notice of Draft Articles'''</big>
<br>A new ''Doctor Who'' spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called ''The War Between the Land and the Sea ↗'', and will feature old and new Whoniverse ↗ characters working for UNIT ↗ as they battle the Sea Devils ↗. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is currently underway in a draft article ↗. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at WP:NTV ↗.
<br>There is also a draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special ↗. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome.
<big>'''Doctor Who News'''</big>
<br>A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of Doctor Who News ↗. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the Appreciation Index ↗ of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith.
<br>A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the WikiProject talk page ↗.
{{column}}
<big>'''Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content'''</big>
<br> There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A sub-page ↗ has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards.
<big>'''Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject'''</big>
:Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows:
:1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD.
:2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit.
:3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue.
:If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on the article's talk page ↗.

<big>'''Continued Improvement of Content'''</big>
:Since the last Newsletter, the articles "Eve of the Daleks ↗", ''Terror of the Zygons ↗'', "The Name of the Doctor ↗", "Silence in the Library ↗", ''Doctor Who'' series 2 ↗, Mel Bush ↗, Peter Capaldi ↗, "Midnight ↗", "Forest of the Dead ↗", "The Church on Ruby Road ↗", ''Doctor Who'' specials (2023) ↗, and ''Doctor Who'' series 14 ↗ have all been promoted to Good Article status. The Good Topic ''Doctor Who'' specials (2023) ↗ and the Featured Topic Peter Capaldi ↗ have also been promoted.
:With the amount of articles promoted in the year, we have had our second most productive year of all time, falling just short of beating the record set by 2012. Work is continuing underway on articles Project-wide, and the Good Topic for the revived era ↗ nears completion.
:Ongoing discussion and goals can be found at WP:WikiProject Doctor Who/Goals ↗ and nominees for promoted content here ↗. Feel free to contribute in writing or in reviewing!
{{column}}
<big>'''Reliable Sources'''</big>
:A discussion ↗ on the reliability of CultBox ↗ has determined that it should be phased out of use in the WikiProject. This source has been widely used across project articles, especially for information about filming. Concerns that the website is self-published and has poor editorial standards were raised. In some articles, project editors have already begun depreciating the source.
:Similar concerns were raised about Doctor Who TV (doctorwho.tv.co.uk) ↗. Uses of this source have also been depreciated. This website should NOT be confused with Doctor Who TV (doctorwho.tv) ↗, a commercial website published by the Beeb, which is acceptable for use as a primary source.
:As discussed in the previous issue, Doctor Who News ↗ has been widely phased out where possible. If you have any comments about these sources or any others, please contribute to the discussions on the project talk page.
{{column}}
<big>'''Novels Being Overhauled'''</big>
:The scrutiny on many of the Doctor's past adventures through print over the years continues in regard to determining their individual notability. Discussions can be found on the WikiProject's talk page ↗, with discussion still well under way in ironing out which articles pass the notability bar.
:You can contribute by helping to improve articles of the novels, and other extended media, and bringing attention to the ones that might not.
{{column}}
<big>'''Project Barnstar'''</big>
:In breaking news, it appears that Torchwood Three has been raided. The resurrection gauntlet ↗ has been stolen and used on the WikiProject ''Doctor Who'' Barnstar ↗. If you notice exceptional contributions in project areas by any editor, feel free to show them some appreciation by awarding them their very own ✨barnstar✨.

<big>'''A flabbergasting discovery'''</big>
:In March, it was announced that episodes 1 ("The Nightmare Begins") and 3 ("Devil's Planet") of ''The Daleks' Master Plan ↗'' were found by the charity Film is Fabulous! in a private collection among some films. The collector gave them permission to have them and sadly passed away not long after. Upon learning of the discovery through Toby Hadoke ↗, actor Peter Purves ↗, who starred in the episodes alongside William Hartnell ↗ and Adrienne Hill ↗, said "My flabber has never been so gasted". The episodes were shown at a BFI ↗ screening (with Purves in attendance) in April and are now available on BBC iPlayer ↗ in the UK and the official Doctor Who Classic YouTube ↗ channel in the US. This means that episodes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 of ''The Daleks' Master Plan'' are now available.
:It has been hinted that more could be found in the near future as 95 episodes remain missing.
<big>'''Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network'''</big>
- The 1996 American-produced ''Doctor Who'' television film ↗ was remastered in 4K using the original film reels for a Blu-ray release this May. The restored version includes both the UK and U.S. broadcast versions and new special features.
- Big Finish Productions ↗ recently extended their contract with the BBC ↗ to continue licensing the ''Doctor Who'' franchise intellectual property for audio stories through 2035. The first new production to be confirmed following this announcement, is a fifteen-part box set featuring David Tennant set to begin releasing bimonthly next year.
- In February, the First Doctor ↗ serial ''The Rescue ↗'' was published on vinyl record ↗ as a special release for Record Store Day ↗ in the United Kingdom.
- ''Circuit Breaker'', a new multi-platform story starring Jo Martin ↗ as the Fugitive Doctor ↗ was announced by BBC Studios ↗ to launch this June. Spanning audio, books, comics, games, magazine, internet, and Blu-ray releases, tells a singular interconnected story about UNIT's Black Archive across several mediums.
- Seventeen years after its last release, Character Options is releasing a new five-part set of ''Doctor Who'' figures beginning in July.
- In the United States, AMC+ ↗ has secured rights to be the exclusive streaming video on demand host of all 2005–2022 ''Doctor Who'' episodes. This era of ''Who'' has been unavailable to stream in the States since its removal from HBO Max ↗ in July 2025. Noticeably absent from press releases are mention of spin-off series ''Torchwood ↗'' and ''The Sarah Jane Adventures ↗''; while these shows have historically been packaged with this era of ''Who'' in streaming deals on HBO Max, before that on Amazon Prime Video ↗, as well as Netflix ↗ and Hulu ↗ in the ancient days, there is no confirmation if these will be included. Elsewhere in America, Classic ''Who'' has it's own streaming home on BritBox ↗ (yes, BritBox still exists on this side of the pond), while the 60th anniversary specials and Gatwa's era remain on Disney+ ↗ for the foreseeable future. Disney has also yet to release ''The War Between the Land and the Sea ↗'', a five-part miniseries previously marketed by the company as releasing outside of the UK and Ireland in "early 2026". There is also no news on where, if anywhere, future episodes of ''Who'' will air or stream in the United States (or elsewhere worldwide, for that matter); however, AMC Global Media ↗ (the owner of AMC+) owns BBC America ↗, which it regularly licenses BBC content for and was the linear broadcaster of ''Who'' from 2009–2022, and a non-controlling ownership stake in BritBox ↗. AMC+ was also previously the next-day streamer of ''Who'' episodes during the Jodie Whittaker ↗/Chris Chibnall ↗-era as a transitional period between their broadcast on BBC America and release on HBO Max. Given this, and the global reach of AMC+, it's a feasible home for future new episodes and even the rumored potential of a co-production deal to fill the funding deficit left by Disney.
<big>'''Succession'''</big>
