Forum:Author Validity Vote

This forum will consist of a vote on whether to solidify our sourcing policy to accept or reject author statements (in any form they come), or somewhere between. The prior discussion on the topic can be found here.

Place your vote under supporting if you are in support of adjusting the charcat templates. Place your vote underneath against if you are not in support. If you choose to abstain, place your vote under the abstaining section.

In order to vote, use underneath suporting,  underneath Against, and  underneath abstain.

Voting will end on June 26th.

Use author statements
Voting in this section indicates support of using author statements with direct wording in articles, in all cases.

Don't use author statements without precedence
Voting in this section indicates support of counting author statements as improper proof within articles, excluding trivia statements and anything without prior canon precedence that isn't a clarification of a written novel scene.

Inclusion with disclaimers
Voting in this section indicates support of using author statements within articles, but using the cic template to distinguish them in appearance as [blog] on the page(s) the cite directly relates to, and notating it in trivia elsewhere.
