Per precedent from other actor/creator articles, couldn't hurt to mention some other non-SW roles he's well-known for. Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter, Lord Commander in Final Space, and Scrooge McDuck in the DuckTales reboot are a few I can think of.- Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 19:26, 21 December 2023 (UTC)- Personally I'd say the Doctor Who connection is all that's really worth mentioning, but it's up to CC. JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 05:00, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Added the ones I think are most relevant. Commander Code-8 Hello There! 14:01, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- IMO there should probably be at least one relevant non-SW media mentioned regarding his voice acting career; outside of Huyang there's not much indication of the fact he is also a voice actor. The aforementioned Final Space and DuckTales reboot are two he's done, but he's also been Spitelout in How to Train Your Dragon, Charles Darwin in The Pirates! In an Adventure With Scientists (The Pirates! Band of Misfits stateside), and General Krieg in The Legend of Vox Machina. Voice acting debut was as a warehouseman in the Doctor Who Scream of the Shalka special if you only want the most relevant one to that side of his career; it's somewhat doubly relevant since it predated his role as the Doctor as well. Also, Dramarama was his debut to acting as a whole, even a year before his stage debut. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 06:23, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- To chip in, I do think that voice acting is ultimately just a facet of acting, and given that the voice roles aren't really major (like how Joker is for Mark Hamill) then I don't really think it's worth mentioning them as distinctive things for his career. OOM 224 (he/him) 21:14, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- Voice acting is a different field of work from acting and requires a different skillset. While it may still be acting, it is a completely different form of it. Physical actors can't always voice act, and voice actors cannot always act—there's a reason celebrity voice actors are frowned upon. I would prefer that some mention of his work in the field be mentioned, though I would at the very least like to see Scream of the Shalka if nothing else considering it's his first voice acting role and it's a Doctor Who role predating his far more popular role as the 10th/14th Doctors. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 06:47, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- I was hesitant to mention any of those animated roles given there's half a dozen other performances from him that are much more notable, but I do see the value in establishing that Tennant had voice acting experience prior to playing Huyang given that he won an award for it and remembered that there's some animated DW stories to elegantly cover that space.

Please avoid whole series references like that. In this instance, I think referencing all of the episodes together doesn't hurt.It was suggested that I include season and episode numbers for the table in Jeff Bennett, so that should be done here as well to maintain consistency.UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:43, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

I think the Brotherhood info could be cleared up a little to include it was just a rumour that Mill's youngling clan talked aboutLewisr (talk) 18:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)- Done, let me know if I should rewrite it so the quote from the novel isn't directly stated Commander Code-8 Hello There! 07:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
You'll need to change the wikipedia cite about Goblet of FireLewisr (talk) 02:50, 11 January 2024 (UTC)- I prefer the idea of having a Filmcite template as discussed in Discord, have found a placeholder source for now so as not to hold up this nom Commander Code-8 Hello There! 05:05, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
You'll also be able to reduce the refs for the TCW episode numbers by citing to Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Episode GuideLewisr (talk) 02:50, 11 January 2024 (UTC)- Done Commander Code-8 Hello There! 05:05, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
It seems per Jeff Bennett, that the other episodes you mentioned need airdates as wellLewisr (talk) 03:15, 18 January 2024 (UTC)- Done Commander Code-8 Hello There! 02:25, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Last thing, would like to see Insider contextualised as a magazineLewisr (talk) 03:12, 20 January 2024 (UTC)- Done Commander Code-8 Hello There! 08:57, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

I think the release date for Insider 125 needs referencing. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 16:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Needs sourcing for Season/Episode numbers NBDani(they/them)Yeager's Repairs 18:32, 10 January 2024 (UTC)- Done for the Clone Wars episodes, for Ahsoka I feel that it's self evident given that they include numbers and are only available on Disney+, where the season and episode numbers are clearly displayed Commander Code-8 Hello There! 02:27, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree on Ahsoka because Season 2 is coming and if it continues the numbers, it'll be unclear Where S1/S2 begin/end. But for now it is accurate and so I won't press it. And it should theoritically be an easy fix in the future with the eventual SWInsider episode guide. NBDani (they/them)Yeager's Repairs 17:35, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Similar to Jeff Bennett, needs a note column tab to notate it was voice he provided. NBDani(they/them)Yeager's Repairs 18:32, 10 January 2024 (UTC)- Done Commander Code-8 Hello There! 02:27, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
