Literary debut

I deleted the statement that this is the literary debut of the Twelfth Doctor. We simply cannot say that because Blood Cell is one of three books released on the very same day. All three books mark his debut, and we cannot say which book comes first or takes precedence over the others (indeed, The Crawling Terror was the first of the books to be reviewed). 23skidoo 15:49, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

Valid Sources - Setting

This is a question to admins.

I've re-read the Tardis:Valid sources page regarding what is and isn't a valid source just to triple-check, but I'm still left a bit clueless as to where an author's statement would stand. If James Goss were to give a rough setting for this adventure via Twitter, would it be accepted as valid?

There's a part of the T:VS that talks about author owned content, which made me wonder whether or not Goss would be the only person able to give a setting to this due to all but two of the characters in this novel being of his creation. I'm laying this here because I've been tweeting Goss myself out of pure curiosity regarding the setting of this adventure, and if one day, I were to get that golden reply with at least a century if not a year, then surely we should make the most of it here?

Any information obtained from behind the scenes is not valid for the in-universe portion of an article. It's fine to include it in a "Behind the scenes" section, but only stories count for the in-universe section.
As for story pages, it's pretty much implied that any information on the page comes from the story itself, unless it's separately sourced. So any BTS info you discover would go in the "Story notes" section and should be attributed to the source. Hope this helps. Shambala108 17:06, November 25, 2015 (UTC)
