:::::::I would prefer to go with text based sources for this one ''and'' have the subtitles to back it up (after all the subtitles spell TARDIS 'Tardis'). --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 12:27, June 7, 2010 (UTC) | :::::::I would prefer to go with text based sources for this one ''and'' have the subtitles to back it up (after all the subtitles spell TARDIS 'Tardis'). --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 12:27, June 7, 2010 (UTC) | ||
::::::::OK, I searched through as much as I could (I don't have everything) for all instances of either spelling. The only mentions of the Artifacts of Rassilon I found were the Shada script book and the fan club novelization of Shada | ::::::::OK, I searched through as much as I could (I don't have everything) for all instances of either spelling. The only mentions of the Artifacts of Rassilon I found were the Shada script book and the fan club novelization of Shada. I could have sworn that term first appeared in The Deadly Assassin, but it's in neither the subtitles nor the novelization, nor is it in the novelization for The Invasion of Time.... But the word in general is used many times. Unfortunately, the results aren't very illuminating. | ||
::::::::*Early Virgin books used the "i" spelling almost exclusively. There are only two exceptions before [[The Also People]]. From that point on, the two were used interchangeably, sometimes even in the same book. Official synopses (and therefore presumably press releases and the like) always used only the "i" spelling. | ::::::::*Early Virgin books used the "i" spelling almost exclusively.

::::::::*BBC Books used the "e" spelling almost exclusively in the EDAs and PDAs, and most of the exceptions are on covers. I didn't find either spelling in any official synopses. None of the NSAs I have use the word at all. | ::::::::*BBC Books used the "e" spelling almost exclusively in the EDAs and PDAs, and most of the exceptions are on covers.
