:::: The literal entire point is that the controversy is about the date Mike Bond provides in [[DWM 447]] for the end of ''The Power of Three'', namely July 2016. Early 2011 + two years of Christmases later + April through August + 10 months + July through July. July 2016. With reasonable rounding down for the "two years" bit, July 2015.

:::: Series 5 consistently giving 2010 without a single contradiction (barring the briefly seen ID badge I guess? But that has nothing to do with what the initial dispute was.) is unnecessary to point out in depth. Honestly, series 5 and 6 aren't vague AT ALL, besides maybe the dropping off in ''God Complex''. The wedding is 26 June 2010, the astronaut shoots the Doctor on 22 April 2011. Over and over. Counting later episodes from 19 or 22 April 2011 is perfectly acceptable, what came immediately before may be the least disputable part the of series 1-7 timeline.

:::: As for ''The Hungry Earth''. The scene of the waving is obviously overwritten by any one of Rory's several deaths, and in ''The Power of Three'', Amy mentions "We think it's been 10 years. Not for you [the Doctor], or Earth but for us [her and Rory]. Ten years older. On and off, with you." Which also, along with Amy's implied ageing to the point of needing reading glasses in ''The Angels Take Manhattan'' means that there's no reason to consider Rory's age in ''Dinosaurs on a Spaceship'' to be a mistake, nor is it unambiguously feasible that the waving in 2020 likely still occurred after the Big Bang Two.

:::: Usually by my understanding "it is unknown" is by and large a delete on sight. Which I have no apologies calling "waffle". -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 18:49, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
