The Pilot
Please provide a detailed account of why the Pilot from this story is definitively the Eighth Doctor in the BHS section. I was not able to find the reasoning behind this connection. Amorkuz ☎  13:28, January 22, 2017 (UTC)

Continuity vs. Timeline placement
Sorry for a delay. I wanted to post a link to that old decision about Timelines: Forum:Timeline_sections_on_pages. But instead I'll post the whole learning experience I had from two separate admins: User_talk:Amorkuz/Archive_1. I learned it the hard way and don't wish it to anyone.

To my taste, of the two bullet points just added, the first is (almost) perfect, in the right place, and sufficient by itself. In the presence of the first, the second one seems redundant because it does not provide new information, nor new stories. I say almost perfect because the replication must have happened in only one of the two novels. So that is the one to be cited.

So far you mentioned one event (replication) that happened in the novels, which is the past of Toy Story. If there is another event definitely in the future of it, as in referring to the events of Toy Story that would merit a second bullet point (for instance, the Doctor being away and Compassion and Fitz sleeping is mentioned in the novels). The way it is written now, it looks like a speculation to an uninformed observer. Actually, worse, it looks like timeline placement. If there is no TheFartyDoctor-proof evidence for the upper bound, it might be better to move the second bullet point to Theory:Timey-wimey detector. Amorkuz ☎  21:35, January 24, 2017 (UTC)
