-The [[T:LOP|prefix]] '''ICOM''' indicates the information cited comes from [[in-vision commentary|in-vision commentaries]]. It can be compared to [[PCOM]], which indicates the podcast commentaries made available during the [[RTD]] era, or [[DCOM]], which relates to DVD commentaries. The necessity for separate prefixes is made clear by the chart at [[in-vision commentary]], which illustrates how many wholly different podcasts there are for some [[Tenth Doctor]] episodes.
+The [[T:LOP|prefix]] '''ICOM''' indicates the information cited comes from [[in-vision commentary|in-vision commentaries]]. It can be compared to [[PCOM]], which indicates the podcast commentaries made available during the [[RTD]] era, or [[DCOM]], which relates to DVD commentaries. The necessity for separate prefixes is because every [[Tenth Doctor]] episode has a podcast commentary, most also have an audio commentary on the DVD (a "[[DCOM]]"), and some have an ICOM as well.  Thus, the only way of keeping them straight is to use different prefixes.
-Thus, '''ICOM''': ''[[Doomsday]]'' indicates an entirely different recording than '''PCOM''': ''[[Doomsday]]''.
+Please note that ''[[Doomsday]]'' in fact has ''two'' ICOMs, so when citing, the ICOM prefix won't be clear.  Recommended language might be "the prodcuers' in-vision commentary on ''Doomsday''" versus "the actors' in-vision commentary on ''Doomsday''".
