This is the problem of mixing information from all media
I'm tempted to somehow hold this page up as an example of the imperfect page. This is exactly why mixing together information between all media can be a very bad idea. There is no way that Malcolm Hulke, writer of Colony in Space meant in any way to suggest that his IMC was the same IMC from The Space Pirates,  Yet this page implies, by connecting certain dots through novels to create a link where none was intended nor significant to the narrative. The tenuous link provided by The Menagerie should be separated out into its own section so readers can choose what they want to believe. Putting it all together forces them to believe that they're missing something when they compare The Space Pirates to Colony in Space — and they're really not. These are two totally different companies who've been grafted together by some back alley hatchet job decades after their original broadcast.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  17:46, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Er...that's what continuity is. Writers coming along and writing stuff in, especially with Doctor Who, and this wiki considers it call (well more or less) to be canon. If The Menagerie says that the IMC of the Space Pirates became the IMC that appeared in Colony in Space and Love and War then that's what it is. It seems that you're trying to separate out what you think the writer of the day would have thought and what the in-universe page should be. It is an inuniverse page so it has all the information pertaining to this particular subject. If you believe it's that crucial put a behind the scenes statement into the article. But the fact remains this isn't the only thing that's had information added to it by subsequent authors. --Tangerineduel 18:02, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
