: I support validating ''Scream of the Shalka'' either by Rule 4 or Rule 4 By Proxy. Both arguments are thoroughly convincing --and I take special care to note that we shouldn't even NEED R4BP for this story to be validated, albeit as an alternate reality/universe/timeline/what-have-you. ''Scream of the Shalka'' and ''Rose'' were both released with the intent of being Doctor Who's continuation from the TV Movie. Which one would win out was up in the air for longer than I believe the BBC would like to admit. Coverage on the Wiki would only improve by having it validated. While I understand that beginning with the R4BP argument to assuage the concerns of those that were skeptical of using ''The Tomorrow Windows'' as its basis, I would say in future that any argument for validity where Rule 4 is in question should be structured in a manner like this: | |||
:: (1) This story should be valid under Rule 4 for X, Y, or Z reasons. | |||
:: (2) Even if you believe those reasons are insufficient, it must be valid under Rule 4 by Proxy because of X, Y, or Z reasons. | |||
: Rule 4 by Proxy is meant to be an ''exception'' to a rule. We should only apply it when Rule 4 cannot otherwise be satisfied --that way we don't end up overly expanding Rule 4 by Proxy 'jurisprudence'. All of this is to say, <u>''Scream of the Shalka'' should be valid</u>.
