==Article title needs to be changed==
== Anthology, not a novel ==
Story of Martha is a short-story collection, not a novel. I've adjusted the introduction to the article accordingly. The article title should be changed to The Story of Martha (anthology), both for accuracy and for consistency with how this wiki handles the similar ''[[The Legends of Ashildr (anthology)]]'' and ''[[The Legends of River Song (anthology)]]''.

:I agree that there are short stories within, which do have their own pages, but I'm not sure it can be considered fully an anthology. After all, there's a linking narrative, and if you were to cite this book on [[Martha Jones]], you couldn't really cite an ''anthology'' as a story. Unless we made a separate page, like [[The Story of Martha (short story)]], for all the linking material in [[The Story of Martha (anthology)]].{{User:SOTO/sig}} 05:23, January 4, 2017 (UTC)

Character list

I removed several characters from the list because, even though it would be logical to assume that The Master, Captain Jack and the Toclafane will appear, in truth we won't know until the book is published (or advance reviews appear) whether they actually do appear or not. 23skidoo 18:13, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree that there are short stories within, which do have their own pages, but I'm not sure it can be considered fully an anthology. After all, there's a linking narrative, and if you were to cite this book on Martha Jones, you couldn't really cite an anthology as a story. Unless we made a separate page, like The Story of Martha (short story), for all the linking material in The Story of Martha (anthology).
