: I did try the "according to one account" regarding ''Peace'' but one of the editors (who unlike me has actually read ''Peace'') reverted, [http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=Last_Great_Time_War&diff=1587313&oldid=1587275 claiming that the ending was "left open"], implying wiggle room to reconicle ''Night of the Doctor''. That said, in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' the War Doctor is clearly only vaguely familiar with the Moment's conscience and can't even operate it, so I don't think there will be any real complaints considering ''The Forgotten'' as irreconcilable. Looking at both this page and [[Great Key of Rassilon]], however, it looks like ''Don't Step on the Grass'' is the comic which uses the term "the Moment". -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 15:59, November 26, 2013 (UTC) | : I did try the "according to one account" regarding ''Peace'' but one of the editors (who unlike me has actually read ''Peace'') reverted, [http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=Last_Great_Time_War&diff=1587313&oldid=1587275 claiming that the ending was "left open"], implying wiggle room to reconicle ''Night of the Doctor''.

Basically The Forgotten isn't completely contradicted by the Moment depicted in TDOTD. The Eighth Doctor retrieves the Great Key and what-not, and gives an explanation that he doesn't want to use it etc. A lot of things could have happened between The Forgotten and The Night of the Doctor, and we haven't exactly been told what. The problem from the IDW sources comes from Don't Step on the Grass, really, as the Tenth Doctor says that the Moment was activated by the Doctor "turning the key in the lock", which implies that the Great Key was a component of Moment. So clearly a contradiction exists between what Don't Step on the Grass says about the Moment, and what The Day of the Doctor says. From that point of view, and "according to this source" type of language should be used to describe what Don't Step on the Grass says, rather than The Forgotten. | |||
To further clarify the Museum Peace argument, the story ends with a child being killed by a lone Dalek, and whilst Kalendorf stays with the authorities dealing with the incident, he is asked by one about the other man who was with him in the museum. Kalendorf replies to the question "who was the other man in the room?" with "a man looking for peace". | |||
That's literally the closing line of the story, so as you can see there's plenty of "wiggle room" for Museum Peace to still fit with the picture of the Time War created by The Night of the Doctor. --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 16:18, November 26, 2013 (UTC) | |||
