What kind of citation is necessary for publisher's summaries? BBC Books has released the descriptions for the first three Eleventh Doctor novels, also confirming that it's Apollo 23 and not Apollo 13, but I've only found the summaries on fandom news sites rather than there being a BBC site page for them. Can they be added now or do we have to wait for the descriptions to appear on Amazon or the like? -- Noneofyourbusiness 15:45, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- None in theory as it's what is written on the back of the book, generally speaking someone has the book in front of them to double check that the publisher's summary is indeed that.
- In this specific case, don't use fan sites (if these fan sites have sources follow the sources back to an official site). If no official site exists err on the side of caution and wait until the BBC or something like Amazon has a description listed. --Tangerineduel 16:37, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
