::* Everyone makes mistakes, including news sources, and people lie, including showrunners, actors, etc. If we created articles for future stories based on what someone tells us "is going to happen", and they are wrong or lying, we have to change/remove the info. This can be a tedious job, and we avoid it by not including anything in articles unless '''it has already happened'''. (For an example of this situation, you might be interested in reading [[Forum:Why we sometimes protect article creation: the curious case of Dorium Maldavar|this discussion]] — it shows what happens when we create articles based on supposed upcoming events.) | ::* Everyone makes mistakes, including news sources, and people lie, including showrunners, actors, etc. If we created articles for future stories based on what someone tells us "is going to happen", and they are wrong or lying, we have to change/remove the info.

Hi! Before you create any more pages, I suggest you read the following policies: | |||
* [[Tardis:Point of view]] | |||
* [[Tardis:In-universe perspective]] | |||
* [[Tardis:Out-of-universe perspective]] | |||
These will help you to edit and create articles that follow our policies. Thanks! [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:48, May 1, 2014 (UTC) |
