I think its best to reign this discussion in to talk about the simple facts. The discussion is verging on the area of personal attacks, and we're here to talk about how 10,000 Dawns crossovers fits in with the wiki's rules, so...

Following our four little rules, we can justify it like this:

1. Only stories count: we're fine there.

2. A story that isn't commercially licensed by all of the relevant copyright holders doesn't count: James Wylder has obtained all the relevant permissions from copyright holders, and is willing to provide evidence of this for anyone who contests.

3. A story must be officially released to be valid: yep, all good there, and free stories are being collected in a volume. No problems there.

4. If a story was intended to be set outside the DWU, then it's probably not allowed. But a community discussion will likely be needed to make a final determination: the crossover stories are intended to be set within the DWU, and adjacent to 10,000 Dawns, so again no problem.

I think the problem here originates with Amorkuz' dislike and bias towards the series (and seemingly its contributors). I might remind all users that this wiki is run by a community. One user cannot usurp and overthrow any argument based on their beliefs, and ultimately the community decides what action will be taken here.

So does anyone dispute the 10,000 Dawns crossover stories when looked at against our Tardis:Valid sources policy?
