message: Not sure I'd describe Paul Cornell as a "veteran" TV writer - the guy is still in his thirties, and his TV career began in the 1990s. 217.155.20.163 01:14, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point, but considering the numerous New Adventures under his belt, I'd consider him a (relatively) veteran writer.--Sean|Black 01:19, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: He's a veteran in the context of Doctor Who, so I've changed the description accordingly. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 23:39, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The Doctor doesn't seem reluctant. Although he does complain to his TARDIS, as soon as he finds out what is gonig on, he jumps in straight away. Davidpk212 19:00, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Is this correct? I thought this book would be a standalone and not connected to any of the Past Doctors series, since it was, at the time of publication, actually a "New Doctor" adventure. Can anyone confirm that this is in fact considered part of the PDA? I changed the category to what I think is the correct one, but the infobox is another matter. 23skidoo 21:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: This bit;
Given that the BBC and the producers of the televised Doctor Who have discounted Scream of the Shalka as being part of the franchise's continuity, this is one of the few Doctor Who novels for which the canonicity (or in this case, lack thereof) has firmly been established.
Seems a bit original research-y, 'given that' indicates that there's been some synthesis to reach a conclusion, canonicity doesn't equate to continuity, and to declare something un-canonical, you would be implicitly saying there is a canon for it to be excluded from which DW doesn't have. This could also be seen as a bit POV in relation to the whole canon/no canon debate. For example, there's plenty of Arthurian myths that don't exist in continuity to each other but are none-the-less considered part of the canon of genuine Arthurian mythology.Number36 (talk) 02:00, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
