I can help with the DW50Y 1. There's a short overview of what TV Century 21 and The Dalek Chronicles were about. It acknowledges Genesis of Evil as a "radically different theory" from Terry Nation prior to Genesis of the Daleks and describes it as an "alternate Dalek origin", but it's a real-world article and doesn't try to reconcile them. The reprints of Genesis of Evil aren't altered with any linking narration (nor is The Terrorkon Harvest which is also reprinted.) Interestingly, though, the introduction says The Road to Conflict is a prequel to Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. rather than The Dalek Invasion of Earth. That's likely down to a contemporary effort to promote the former's release. Other than that, there's not a lot new on the issue.
I feel like I should have said my piece on this sooner, since I'm the guy who added a lot of the John Peel Dalek novelisation info to the Dalek Prime page in the first place - I integrated some of it into other articles but was never brave enough to venture very far. From my own reading of the stories involved, the reasoning for the mergers is solid and the proposed changes are sound. And for my part, a clean-up on this scale of the various Dalek Emperor pages would be very welcome.
