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.

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)
