• : article is generally in good shape, and was moved within the window. Long enough, and cited to what appear to be reliable sources given the nature of the subject matter. QPQ is done. File:Doctor Who Wish World.jpg is tagged as a poster, but I can't see any sign that this is so -- we call it the title card in the article. Licences on the other two images check out and there are no other copyvio or BLP concerns. Both hooks are interesting, in the article and sourced.

TheDoctorWho: just that first image to look at, then we should be good to go. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 08:59, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

• @UndercoverClassicist: This is a rare case where it is both a promotional poster and a promotional title card. It doesn't actually appear in the episode as the title card of the story, thereby making it strictly promotional; and serves the same format as a film poster (note that "promotional" is used in the article). All other DYK's for this series, and the previous series, have passed with the same tag and no issues. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:49, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

• I'm not sure I follow you here -- so it's a promotional image put out by the TV company? I can wear that within the "long" version of the licence, as set out in the table (specifically: the image is poster art, a form of product packaging or service marketing. However, could I have some evidence for that status, ideally shared on the file page as well? At the moment we only have your word for its authorship, purpose, release circumstances etc. I see the Cultbox link, but that doesn't give any information about any of those, so on its own implies that Cultbox holds the copyright and the FUR is not valid.

• Yes, exactly. These were shared on the show's official social media pages prior to broadcast. This source also refers to them as "spiffy motion title cards" (but as I said, they also serve the purpose as a poster by being "a poster designed and used to advertise and promote"). The CultBox link is used for ease of reference since it had all of the still versions in one location. Alex 21 may also be elaborate further, if need be, since he typically uploads these.

• Thanks for the ping. The explanation above is pretty clear. They were released as motion-posters (or "spiffy motion title cards"), serving as a promotional poster in landscape-mode. As we likely cannot upload a motion-poster, an edition was uploaded as a screenshot of the original motion-poster, available through the CultBox link. -- Alex_21 _TALK 04:21, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

• OK, that checks for me. Approved on that basis. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 05:39, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
