"Mission to the Unknown" dating
An IP user has lifted this paragraph from an earlier revision of 31st century, and put it here:
- In the year 3000, the Daleks, in their ongoing wars against Humanity, launched another invasion of Earth. It was a brief conflict and ended in their defeat which drove them from the Milky Way for Millennia, bringing to an end the Dalek Wars. (DW: Mission to the Unknown, REF: Doctor Who: The Dalek Handbook)
I didn't put this into the page because, well, it doesn't happen in "Mission to the Unknown". The year 3000 isn't mentioned there. So this looks like a case of The Dalek Handbook trying to give a date to something that wss undated, and that's not terribly reliable. Doctor Who non-fiction tie-in books are notorious for their inaccuracies, and they can't be trusted to provide us with facts that we can assert as true. We should be extremely wary, in my view, of co-mingling narrative information with that from a tie-in non-fiction book.
