Exoskeleton
I edited the page to change the "exoskeleton" interpretation in order to eliminate what seems to be a direct contradiction via the Visual Dictionary section. My edit was reversed with the comment "the Visual Dictionary is not a valid source for in-universe articles." Fair enough ... now I know that rule! But this raises a different question, then:
What authoritative source proves that the Sycorax do, in fact, have exoskeletons and not helmets? If such evidence exists, it should be cited, right? And if it does not, then should the article be rewritten to say "the appearance of an exoskeleton" or something?
In other words, if there is no such evidence that it is truly an exoskeleton, why does speculation trump the Visual Dictionary?
It sure looks like a helmet. And if it isn't, then how do these guys eat their dinner?

(Or even talk, for that matter.)
Also, Weta's officially licenced product is called a "Sycorax helmet," not a Sycorax exoskeleton ... doesn't that at least suggest the creative intent was the former moreso than the latter?

Not trying to be a troublemaker ... just trying to learn the ropes.

- You're not causing any trouble...edit summaries are supposed to be informative, so it's nice that someone actually learned something!
- I reverted your edit to the previous version because my only knowledge of Sycorax comes from The Christmas Invasion, but they appear in several comic stories and a short story which might contain some of the info you are questioning. If you are familiar with the comics, feel free to edit the page.
- I think it would be helpful for you to take a look at Tardis:Valid sources. You'll see what we allow as sources for in-universe pages. If you have any other questions, you can ask me at my talk page or that of any other admin. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 04:22, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
