Suggested Dropping of a Rumor
'''The founder of SkyClan was in Secrets of the Clans, but he was just unmentioned. His name is Sky.'''

Read it carefully and it's acctually sort of ridiculous. The idea that "He was in the book, but not mentioned"... Isn't that exactly what being NOT in the book is? I propose removing this one from the list, becuase it's rather preposterous. Additionally, I looked over the creation myth, and found no indication of a Sky being anywhere in it. While I wouldn't add it to the debunked list, I'm not really sure something so un-verifiable is worthy of inclusion on our list.

Keep Or Ditch?
Rumors are not exactly the sort of thing that a Wiki can pride itself on. But, Rumor Tracking can serve a purpose if they're kept as Rumors until such time as they can be substantiated, So, how do people feel? Vote yay or nay and sign your name!


 * YEA Eu 22:19, 15 October 2007
 * YEA Oglog 22:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC) ahh i love this wikia lark
 * Nay Kitsufox 23:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC) Rumors abound in the warriors community already. We should deal in facts, not fancies.
 * Nay Gorse 03:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC) This is an encyclopedia, correct? Encyclopedia Brittanica doesn't print unverified rumors, nor does any other printed encyclopedia. Even Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia like the Warriors Wiki, highly discourages it. Why shouldn't the same go for here? Not to mention posting only facts raises our reputation as a credible source.
 * Nay. It doesn't belong in our article-space, per Gorse and Kitsu. If someone wants to keep it as a user subpage, however, I'm fine with that approach. Hobbes15 ( Tiger Headquarters ) 02:41, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Nay - It's all just pointless speculation and the like. This should be an official content Wiki in my opinion (So, I also think that there shouldn't be any fan RP stuff here, but that is another subject...). -- ~ | ET | ~  ( Talk/Contribs ) 01:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Voting will close in 24 hours. 22 October 2007, at 9PM Central Standard Time. I feel that we have a good cross-section of our contributers voting right now. Anyone asks, and voting will be extended. Should the current Nay vote pass, the Rumors & News section will be moved into Eu's care as a personal page. It will be able to be used to track things, but won't have a prominent spot on the Wiki.

VOTE RESULTS
With 2 votes to keep and 4 to ditch a 2/3rd majority has decided that Rumors & Unverified News will not be maintained as a true article. Eu, once you get it moved over to your namespace clean it up. Remember to move the talk pages, too. And probobly do some archiving. Kitsufox ( Fox's Den ) 18:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Comments
I vote we keep it. Most of these rumors came from a reliable source (at least I think so). Eu Eu 22:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I would be willing to maintain it on my Userpage, if it's OK. Eu 13:39, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I would agree. This is not exactly rock hard info, seeing as how it's on Wiki... (Never take anything for granted here, no offense. I mean, anybody can post anything) but i really like this kind of thing. It is a good summary of the kind of things that are being said all across the Warriors community. And if we are supposed to capture that community here, this must be included. Personally, I think that it embodies just what kind of fans we are. Reedfrost 20:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Outcast info

 * The info about Outcast can be found on Wikipedia, although I'm not sure if it's accurate or not. If it's been sourced by that site's editors, I'd say it's been verified. If not, leave it here. Hobbes15 ( Tiger Headquarters ) 21:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Until it's verified on an official site, we will leave it here.~Eu
 * I personally feel that, as a source, Wikipedia is useless. If we can find the source, we can upgrade the reference as appropriate. But at the time of creation, I hadn't been able to verify it from a solid source with limited editors. Kitsufox 21:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Consistency...
If you're going to be picky about citing sources of rumors, you should make sure the sources of all rumors displayed are cited also, for the sake of consistency. Kitsufox ( Fox's Den ) 18:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Deadfoot
I remember you on the Deadfoot discussion page saying that you met Vicky Holmes and she told you about Deadfoot's foot. Are you going to add it here? --Amberleaf 02:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
