That and this constant cry for change (which has honestly brought nothing of substance to the wikia) aside, I think that what this is asking for is still opening us up to careless editing. Yes, no wikia can operate without a certain amount of speculation, however, we do have the ability to limit that level and maintain some credibility. "We don't know" isn't a bad word.

I can't speak for others, but I know I have stuck mostly to discussions because everything seems so damn backwards around here from time to time that I don't feel confident doing much of anything without dreading the very high likelihood it'll be reversed. Look at pretty much any discussion I've tried to take part of, I always try to get a number of contributors' approval before I do anything, and I came to creating this thread because I've noticed those discussions hardly ever get anywhere. It's frustrating.

So perhaps this cry for change is so constant because there needs to be one?

The endorsement of unfounded speculation presented as fact is not the aim here. I'm going for the "yeah, that makes a lot of sense and is likely true even though not explicitly stated and/or shown" type speculation that requires sound logic, evidence, consensus and sysop oversight.

I don't understand what is so objectionable about that.
