Pete Cashmore's age

By my maths, if Cashmore was 24 on 7/4/97, that means he would be 46 on 7/4/19, so there's a roughly 1/121.7475 chance he could have turned 46 on either 5/4/19, 6/4/19 or 7/4/19. What makes you think his birth year would change?--Launchballer 20:31, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

You're right, actually, it's just the 1997 date implies he was born 1972-73, and the 2019 date implies born 1973-74. The Doctor 21:35, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Tie-break conundrums

Should Episode 3959 also be filed with an asterisk?--Launchballer 18:32, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

No, because that was shown on screen as being a TB. 6157 was a TB in the studio, but not on screen. Hence, it needs to be separate. The Doctor 19:08, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Mike Brown

Sorry, I got halfway through typing this and hit a wall. The current Mike Brown, with numerous co-event appearances and several wins, is (in my opinion) clearly the primary topic for people searching for Mike Brown. You can argue whether or not Stephen Howe constitutes a primary topic, but as I was doing one, I thought I may as well do the other.--Launchballer 15:07, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

That's not right, for me. It should be the case that both Browns, Howes, etc. are treated equally. The Doctor 18:35, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
@Launchballer: I don't believe there is such a notion as "primary topic", and indeed that is what Disam pages are for. The fact we had two Mike Browns in the same series is irrelevant; your logic would imply that the likes of Chris Davies need to be re-done, and I don't think that's appropriate at all. The Doctor 10:21, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Fair enough, I'll change them back. I can't be bothered to sift through Category:Disambiguation pages, I'm in the throes of assessment season.
On a completely unrelated matter, are you an actual doctor, because I hit my head on a low ceiling yesterday morning, and I've since been dry heaving - both of which are symptoms of concussion.--Launchballer 11:21, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
No. It was just an awful Doctor Who reference when I made this account nearly 10 years ago. The Doctor 12:17, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Really? A random sample for me shows a lot of consistency.... The Doctor 15:05, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
Some contain full sentences (Steve Harris and Andrew Jackson), while some are bullet points (Mark Jones and Barry Smith) and others contain varying lengths of lede (Chris Davies and Debbie Jones).--Launchballer 16:00, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
