Canon

We don't use it here. It has no value whatsoever. The coin of the realm in Misplaced Pages is Verifiability, Notability and Reliability. Citations are the only thing we rely upon. If someone writes a citable article talking about how Kirk and Spock make creepy monkey pon-farr in the backseat of 65 Buick, then we can include it. The litmus for inclusion is citability, not truth. Fortunately, there are other sources which overwhelm the other citable info and thus can be removed under the argument of undue weight. Imdb is not a reliable, citable source. - Arcayne () 15:49, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Edit -warring (3RR warning)

Please stop. Your opinion, while polite, has not found a consensus in the article discussion, and further attempts to include information about canon or other fannish concepts against consensus will likely result in a block for edit-warring. I would urge you to find (or build) a consensus before re-adding the information. Look at the matter another way: you are not convincing at least three other people who disagree with you, and they will revert your adding this information. You need to be aware that these reverts are not vandalism, as you have characterized it here. You are not going to be able to revert and add the material in again without violating 3RR.
You are in fact in violation of 3RR currently, and you could be reported and blocked for this infraction. Please review the 3RR policies and make no more reverts to the article for 24 hours. If you do, you will be reported at WP:AIV, and subsequently blocked.
If you need help understanding our policies and guidelines, please ask. Charging forth like a bull in a china shop will prove to be an expensive misbehavior for yourself. - Arcayne () 16:17, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
