Talk:Sarah Jane's Alien Files

Caonicity
When I encountered it, the article read:
 * Unlike the Monster Files and other web-originated content, the canonicity of Sarah Jane's Alien Files is clear. The only aliens mentioned are those which the children had encountered before on-screen, and no information contradicts the main series. The TV edition also features new material taking place within Sarah Jane Adventures continuity, and establishes the Alien Files as an in-universe database created and maintained by the characters. However, on occasion out-of-universe material is used (i.e cropped promotional images), and the characters sometimes display knowledge of events they wouldn't be aware in the main series' narrative.

Which begs at least two questions. If out-of-universe material is used, and the characters have knowledge that's narratively implausible, how can the canonicity be "clear"? And, what's so unclear about the Monster Files? At least in the Captain Jack days, I thought that was all plausible knowledge for him to have, given his access to UNIT, Torchwood and Time Agent wisdom.
