I'm proposing we abolish the use of the "we" in in-universe articles, it's often used in an indent to note something such as "We do not know what became of the Thals after the destruction of the humanoid Daleks."

But it could just as easily be written as "It is not known what became...", making it more neutral and less suggesting a viewer/audience. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:14, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

Well, technically, it would be, "It was not known . . .", but the point still stands. Personal pronouns of any kind shouldn't be used in in-universe articles except in direct quotes.
