==For which episode?==
{{ArchCat}}
We need to cite a source that says this was meant for Angels Take Manhattan. Chibnall did not write that episode, Moffat did, so one would assume that Moffat would have written P.S. All the online sources I've seen have either been ambiguous or have said this was for the end of Power of Three (making its cut make sense as it would have blown the ending of Angels Take Manhattan).

I'm a bit confused about the paragraph referencing the age discrepancy of Anthony. It seems to imply that [[The Power of Three]] took place before [[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]] for [[Brian Williams (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)|Brian]], which obviously isn't correct. {{User:Eladkse/SigReal|19:00,&nbsp;16&nbsp;October&nbsp;2012}}

in the continuity section of this article, it states this takes place in 2020 after power of three. however there is already enough controversy about the dating of power of three as can be seen at the howling thread [[Howling:Dating the Amy era]].  should we keep this statement about the date given the fact there is so much argument about whether it is accurate?  [[User:Imamadmad|Imamadmad]] [[User talk:Imamadmad|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 08:25, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

It should also be noted that the determination of a story to be invalid does not require the agreement of every single editor. The validity of this story has been debated at least twice. First, in the old forums and, more recently, here. The IP 2.30.191.42 did not participate in either of these discussions. By T:BOUND, whether an editor participated in a discussion or not and whether they have already edited on the site at the time of the discussion, they are still bound by the current policy. Please do not remove the "invalid" tag that is currently on the page. Thank you. Amorkuz 12:45, June 2, 2017 (UTC)
