"Official" are things said by Masashi, the anime company, TV Tokyo, or anyone else that owns rights to the Naruto series. You can be as sarcastic and volatile as you please (you seem to have a knack for it), but that is an undisputed fact. Here's another, anything they say is more official than anything we say.

Even TheUltimate, who was against the majority decision, admits that what they say has more weight than anything we say. So if, as Snapper2 pointed out, the majority of the majority votes were in favor of "Official > Fanmade", then, as Ultimate said, there is literally nothing to discuss and no one here can stop anyone from making those changes.

You're spot on. If a company has licensed the rights of Naruto, anything they distribute containing the word Naruto is official. If the anime wasn't official, Kishimoto and Shueisha would be suing Studio Perriot and TV Tokyo (and/or any other smaller companies or parties involved). The anime would only be unofficial if they made it without licensing the rights.
