Is David Roden the same person who co-wrote Dimensions in Time? The Dimensions in Time page used to say it was an alias of David Mansell, but this was taken out of the infobox. Americanwhofan ^{talk to me} 00:01, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

To answer your first question, I dunno. Infoboxes and crew listings shouldn't have any other spelling but that which appears on the screen. It's under this principle that we use Robin Bland in The Brain of Morbius, even though we know it was really Dicks/Holmes. This level of accuracy is why I removed the Mansell business. The infobox's writer credit shouldn't change at all now that it's displaying the precise credit seen on screen.

So the question that remains is how should David Roden link? And there I dunno. I personally have no evidence to link him to David Mansell. If you find a credible source willing to link the two, fine. Note that source on the two pages and it can go back in. Otherwise, we have no positive assertion and therefore can't make one ourselves.
