* ''[[Planet of the Daleks (TV story)|Planet of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Emperor of the Daleks! (comic story)|Emperor of the Daleks!]]'' and ''[[Return of the Daleks (audio story)|Return of the Daleks]]'' all deal with Dalek operations on Spiridon, so the "Spiridon campaign" could reasonably refer to any of them. In [[Remembrance of the Daleks (novelisation)|the novelisation]] of ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (novelisation)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', from which the name "Spiridon campaign" originates, the Daleks are said to have been experimenting with biological weapons, corresponding with the mission from ''Planet''.
* ''[[The Discontinuity Guide]]'' claimed that the Daleks' Draconian Gambit and the Spiridon campaign took place after the [[Exxilon Gambit]], which itself followed their unrecorded first encounter with the [[Third Doctor]], which fell somewhere between the [[23rd century|23rd]] and [[25th century|25th centuries]].<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/dalekhistory1.shtml BBC.co.uk 'Discontinuity Guide' article on '''Dalek History: Part One''' in the original series of ''Doctor Who'']</ref> It is further noted that, since the [[Fourth Doctor]] inadvertently [[Genesis Incident|changed Dalek history]] so that [[Davros]] survived, this event would have occurred vastly differently if it happened at all in the new [[timeline]].<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/dalekhistory1.shtml BBC.co.uk 'Discontinuity Guide' article on '''Dalek History: Part Two''' in the original series of ''Doctor Who'']</ref>
