Julie Gardner quote

Julie Gardner said on the commentary for the episode that she will "confirm to the world" that he was going to "say it back."

Don't really know why the above sentence was cut from the end of the third paragraph of the Personality section. I'm sure I remember Julie saying something pretty much like it at the time, and the Doomsday article cites her for just that, sourced to the Beeb's Commentary for "Doomsday". Personally I'd put it back in, but my software won't access the BBC download site so I can't check and make absolutely sure. If anybody wants to pick this one up, please be my guest.

Physical appearance in last on-screen scene

Is it significant to note the physical discrepancy between Rose's normal appearance in seasons 1-4 and her slightly-different look in The End of Time Part 2? Her eyebrows are different, and her face appears distinctly thinner. I found the discrepancy to be a bit jarring, yet I haven't seen commentary for it anywhere. I'd assume it has something to do with Piper's non-Doctor Who obligations or perhaps the amount of time to apply makeup or something versus the time available for the shot. Anyone know of a source discussing this? Macoukji (talk) 17:02, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Georgia Moffett

I've taken the refence to GM auditioning for the role out just now. I'm sure this is correct, but the source isn't reliable. In the contact section of the website linked to it states: "Please note that we are not endorsed by, or have any link to, Ms Moffett" and the biography only states that she "reportedly auditioned". It's useful information, so I'll have a look round to see if I can find another source. Eshlare (talk) 18:47, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

General

No problems with imaging.
No concerns about the reliability of sources.
No dab links.
One dead link.

Updated to the 2008 version of the BBC website

All BBC News/Newsround refs should be formatted like how Ref 99 is, per consistency.

Fixed.

The em dash has been used incorrectly throughout the article. Per WP:DASH, do not use spaced em dashes, use it unspaced however: Another "planet" was detected—but it was later found to be a moon of Saturn.
Have added 'citation needed' tags for questionable quotes/statements.

replaced with references.

For Ref 84, Organgrider is not the work, and nor is The Guardian, it's guardian.co.uk.

Changed.

Ref 94 was also published on guardian.co.uk, not The Guardian, which refers to the newspaper.

Changed.

Ref 50's author is Sally Kinnes, not Russell T Davies.

Fixed.

Appearances

"Here, she is saved" ? Perhaps "There, she is saved"?
Replace comma in "Rose learns the importance of not tampering with history, when she attempts..." with em or en dash depending on your preference.
"...come to understand the meaning of this phrase when they come face to face with an unstoppable...", come is a tad repetitive here, perhaps you could rephrase it.
"and becomes suffused" ? "becoming suffused"
"to lead herself to this moment" ? "leading herself to the moment"
"After defeating a werewolf they are" comma between 'warewolf' and 'they'.
"...whilst setting up the Torchwood Institute which aims...", place comma between 'Institute' and 'which'
alternate-universe should not be hypenated

Fixed all of these.

Development

"Following "Doomsday" Piper...", comma before Piper
"In the first series finale Rose" comma before Rose
rewatched does not need to be hypenated
should it be humanise per British spelling?

Fixed all of these concerns.

Reception

"She was listed as the second-best female companion behind Sarah Jane Smith by The Daily Telegraph's Gavin Fuller, and the second-best companion behind Sarah Jane by Daniel Martin of The Guardian in 2007" could be easily changed to → "She was listed as the second-best female companion behind Sarah Jane Smith by The Daily Telegraph's Gavin Fuller and Daniel Martin of The Guardian in 2007", to get straight to the point.
redacted the sentence a bit.

Otherwise, a neat article (haven't watched Doctor Who in a while but never missed an episode during the Eccleston and Tennant era) and would be happy to pass provided changes are made. On hold for seven days. Lemonade51 (talk) 12:29, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've taken care of everything raised. Thank you very much for the constructive review. Let me know if there's anything outstanding or that can still be improved.Eshlare (talk) 15:17, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Middle Name.

Where is it? I thought it used to be included in the article. Did the same person that disliked Buffy's middle name being included come here and remove Rose's middle name? Hmm. LeoStarDragon1 (talk) 12:46, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I reworked the article a couple of years ago. The crux of it is she isn't a real person, so a "birth name" doesn't come into consideration. Her middle name isn't part of how the character is popularly known - in fact it isn't used in a single television episode - and therefore does not deserve a place in the lede or infobox, or plot summary/development/reception sections.

The information that her creator Russell T Davies envisaged the character to have a certain middle name according to a companion guide to the series is still present within the article. Seen Rose_Tyler#Literature.Eshlare (talk) 21:47, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rose Tyler vs. The Moment

I believe this has already been discussed, but an editor is putting Rose Tyler as being a companion of the War Doctor. Since only The Moment appeared with the War Doctor, I believe it should be changed. Please discuss. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Border Town ‖ 19:18, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such character as "the Moment" - Piper is credited as Rose Tyler, and her appearance in "The Day of the Doctor" links directly back to Rose, hence why this article discusses Rose's role in the episode. Having said that, I agree that the character of Rose should not be listed as affiliated with the War Doctor; she appears essentially as a vision and there is no relationship between the tangible, "real" corporeal Rose and the version of the Doctor known as the War Doctor.

incorrect use of the term "incarnations"

The opening paragraph states "Rose was introduced as a new travelling companion of series protagonist, the Doctor, in his ninth and tenth incarnations.". This should be re-worded, because although she travelled with the ninth and tenth Doctor, they were, respectively, his tenth and eleventh incarnations. The War Doctor was one of his incarnations as well. Thecurryman2004 (talk) 00:46, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There was no War Doctor in 2005. DonQuixote (talk) 02:19, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So the Wikepedia page was accurate in 2005, perhaps not so accurate in retrospect...Thecurryman2004 (talk) 07:35, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dame Rose Tyler
