It's not immediately apparent from the page why this book is considered a valid source. Could someone enlighten me?

: The book uses several DWU concepts (such as naming [[Validium]] and [[Chronodyne]]) which I am assuming Jean-Marc will have needed permission to use? If not, I'm happy with it being marked invalid but the book is steeped in DWU lore.

:: If there is no legal basis to the use of validium and chronodyne — and if there is no mention on the printed book's copyright page, we ''should'' assume that such brief mentions are just that, brief mentions, no different from a ''Who'' story namedropping [[Kryptonite]] or whatever — then it really shouldn't have a page. It just ends up as "fanfic". Please check if there's such a mention on the copyright page; if there isn't, I'm afraid this page is a goner. <span style="color: #baa3d6;font-family:Comic Sans;">[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']]</span> <span style="color: #baa3d6;">[[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]]</span> 11:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC) |
