Except the events of the story are not an alternate timeline created by the Master. They're a thing the Master did that later were reverted by the Doctor so that they never happened. Further baffling is what usually ends the bit -- "The main timeline was put back in place." The article seems convinced that what the Master did was the events of Turn Left -- go back and make changes that create a different world which was later reverted. But that is not what happened, what happened was that something happened and then it was reverted through time travel. An alternate timeline created by tampering with the past and an alternate timeline created by going back and reverting something that happened which otherwise did not involve much changing of history are two different things. That's all I was trying to say.
