Am putting on my nit picking hat - so don't hold my pedantry against me

The Ninth Doctor is perhaps one of the most interesting incarnations. With the return of Doctor Who to the T.V screen after many years this Doctor had to be something pretty special, and he was!

Oh and just as a point it is spelt Eccleston!

Isn't that one of the corrections above?

Yeh sorry!! I'm a bit scatterbrained at the momment, it's just nerves. Just want to say thankyou so much for your help. Oh and i would be intrested to see what you think of the new series!

Here in Oz - we've just had the end of the Eccleston series - I loved it!

It was very good! I thought he was fantastic!

To find out more about The Ninth Doctor, and Doctor Who in genral..
You missed an e out of general, so it should read:

‘Dalek’ is an important episode in the series. The Doctor and Rose find themselves in a museum, were one of the exhibits.....
And here you missed the h out of where, so this should read:

I really like this piece, I think you captured CE's character really well, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it - thank you!

Thats one of the nicest comments ive had thankyou!!! And thanks for pointing out the typos, i'll go change that right now!

See .... I told you that you didn't have to be in the EG to be appreciated ...

Your a Jem

I just looked at the PR thread - do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT take it out of Peer Review. If Jimster thinks it's a good entry that's a real compliment.

keep working on it - just don't bust a poofle valve over it.

This is your first entry - and an excellent one.

You have already seen that you are still getting positive feedback from others ... please hang in there - remember, people can, and are, still reading your entry and enjoying it.

and if you do get discouraged and feel like you need another swift kick up the (proverbial) ar$e - just give me a yell

Hi, I was going to post this on the spel checker thread, then I saw this one, and is it in Peer review too?! Oh well, I'll put it here.

He was also a far darker Doctor then usual With the Time War 1 looming in his past, the last of his Kind

“than usual.”

“kind”


official Doctor's

“official doctors” (unless doctor should be capitalised, maybe it’s just a Doctor Who thing


Human he looked

“human he looks”

Generally present tense sounds better but that may just be personal taste. Probably should ask Peer Review(but Human should definitely be human)


Incarnations

“incarnations” unless it’s another Dr Who thing


Gone is the Victorian upper class Englishness of his predecessors to be replaced by something very much here and now

“to be” doesn’t sound right Maybe try rewording it


yet all was not what it seemed

Yet


He was doing it for his own sake because he wants to forget his past

You’re skipping from past to present tense (you should pick one {probably present} and go through checking)


He was using Humour

humour


Ninth Doctors true personality

“Ninth Doctor’s true personality”


'Happy-go-lucky'

“happy-go-lucky”


But Why

“But why”


time war

Time War may have capitals? Ask a Dr Who fan


Gallifrey, his family

“Gallifrey and his family”


too hit

“to hit”


the Dalek appeared too hit on a sore point and that deep down

“sore point – that deep down”? Was that the sore point? It’s a bit confusing


just like the Daleks, cold and ruthless

“just like the Daleks: cold and ruthless”


Unquestionably the Guilt

“Unquestionably the guilt”


his Demons

demons should be lower case (unless it’s a Dr Who name )


Ninth Doctors Character that the next Subtopic

“Ninth Doctor’s character that the next subtopic”


Time traveling

“time traveling”


confront Danger

“confront danger”


Through out

“Throughout”


reluctant to get involved with any human's

“reluctant to get involved with any humans”


Rose showed him that not all Human's

“Rose showed him that not all humans”


Saying that they didn’t always get along.

“Saying that, they didn’t always get along.”


It's a great entry - made me wish I'd seen the show!

Thanks for pointing this stuff out, and lol yup Doctor should have a capital (That's the main charictors name!). I will go change it right now! Oh and the reason it's in past tence is that this version of the Doctor's not in the show anymore!

Thank you as well Feisor, it always helps for people to have some confidence in you!! I tend to get a little wraped up in stuff so it's guranteened i'll obssess over this article untill it's finished.

Just want to say thanks for everyones help. I couldn't have done this guide entry on my own without help and encourgement. Just going around to say thank you to everyone so, Thanx!

You're very welcome .... keep up the good work

Thanks, will do!
