Hi there, guys, I just want to voice something that bothers me every time I read it. So I read The Eyeless a few years ago now, and while my memory of the book isn't crystal clear, I'm fairly certain that The Moment doesn't appear in it.

From how I remember it, Lance Parkin alludes to The Weapon (as the book refers to it) being used in a temporal war, one which we have to assume is the Time War. Their is a flashback where the Doctor recalls the destruction of Gallifrey (from The Gallifrey Chronicles), but that is in no way linked to the use of The Weapon. The book is super vague on what The Weapon is, and when and where it was used. I went into The Eyeless expecting The Weapon to be the device that ended the Time War, and finished the book being disappointed it had nothing to do with it. Therefore I was a little confused when I opened the article for The Moment to find that information from the book had been included in it.

From recent revelations about The Moment, we know that its true nature is very different from that depicted in The Eyeless, and the article for The Moment currently feels disjointed because of it. While I know, sources about a number of things have differed many times in Doctor Who alone, I am of the opinion that The Weapon is a device completely separate from The Moment, and its currently creating misinformation in the article where it is currently housed.

Given that the information in The Eyeless regarding the Weapon is vague enough for it to be a different weapon entirely, I would like to separate the two pages, creating a new one for The Weapon, like it once had before the information was merged into The Moment's article.
