I'm not sure, seeing as this is a real-world page, but considering that the problem is related to ''narrative'' issues, I'm gathering that [[T:CITE DEF]] and the whole "a citation means that you know — because you've actually checked — that the fact appears in that story" applies here? Why are ''About Time'' and ''A History of the Universe'' linked to at the bottom of the page under a "sources" header? Nothing regarding information related to production notes, deleted scenes and lines in the original shooting scripts cite these resources, while ''A History of the Universe'' appears to be [[Lance Parkin]]'s speculative "history of the DWU", which really only belongs in the [[Theory:Index|theory index]]. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 15:47, February 22, 2014 (UTC) | I'm not sure, seeing as this is a real-world page, but considering that the problem is related to ''narrative'' issues, I'm gathering that [[T:CITE DEF]] and the whole "a citation means that you know — because you've actually checked — that the fact appears in that story" applies here?

== The Dating Protocol == | |||
I have an idea that possibly solves some of the Dating problems! It came to me when Kate Stewart mentioned the old files of her father in THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR and where to find them with the "Dating protocol". It reminded me on Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Timequake" (1997), where a phenomenon with the same name happend, that turned the whole Universe back 10 years in the past. All it's Residents where forced to repeat themselves, they had to do exactly as they did in the first place. Vonnegut also spoke about the problems of dating the events. For example: If the Timequake take place now (in 2015) and turns us back to 2005, and you repeat your life for another two years, would you count the year as 1997 again or as 2007? | |||
I don't want do emply it would be the same in the case of the UNIT dating controversy, but maybe it's something simular! Maybe it's possible that something happend that only the Doctor and some of the UNIT staff could remember! | |||
The other possibily for this protocol could be, that UNIT just mixed up their dates for reasons of secrecy or to prevent possible timetravellers on altering specific events! | |||
