Sorry for the delay
Hello Connorthomha. I have replied to your message on my talk page but I did want to take a sec to apologize here for the delay in getting to you. I got caught up doing 3 or 4 other things - including making a post on the talk page for the DVD releases. We will see what others think about these. Thanks again for you time and cheers and happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 20:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Reign of Terror tweet
How am I to know who really posted that tweet? It's signed " Classic Doctor Who classicdw " which could be anybody, just as "Redrose64" could be anybody. I'm sorry, but it fails WP:SPS. -- Red rose64 (talk) 21:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The "classicDW" feed is run by Dan Hall - the man in charge of all the Classic Doctor Who DVD releases. Wikipedia::RS clearly states if the blog (Twitter in this case) is run by a professional in the field then it can be deemed an acceptable source. Dan more than meets this category. --Connorthomha (talk) 21:44, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I saw your edit summaries, but how am I to know that it's really run by Dan Hall?
 * You're misinterpreting WP:RS. What it actually states is, and I quote,
 * ... self-published media&mdash;whether ... blogs, ... or tweets&mdash;are largely not acceptable. This includes any website whose content is largely user-generated ... with the exception of material on such sites that is labeled as originating from credentialed members of the sites' editorial staff, rather than users.
 * So, it starts off with an explicit statement that tweets are largely not acceptable.
 * "Blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control.
 * I don't think that tweets are subject to full editorial control.
 * Self-published material may be acceptable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications.
 * Again: how do I know that the user who styles himself "classicdw" really is Dan Hall? -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:03, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

I do see your point here. It is a common fact among fan communities (Gallifrey Base etc.) that ClassicDW is run by Dan Hall, I'm pretty sure on some official website it states this, also on Doctor Who Online on the Vengance on Varos newspost they state "Earlier today, 2|Entertain also confirmed the Late 2012 release of The 1st Doctor adventure; The Reign of Terror via their Twitter feed." referring to classicDW also on the DWO it has in numerous pictures such as the one HERE it has in the corner a link to the classicDW twitter. This is seen on alot of other sites and images as well. Im sure if you did a bit of digging you could find out some concrete evidence. --Connorthomha (talk) 22:15, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
