To which I might add, I said that you should source it, & also gave you the time to do exactly that, which you never did. It has nothing to do with what you think it was, if I just removed it right away, you would have never learned. That was the purpose of me pointing it out, & also giving you the time to source it.

Your idea of bland, is entirely opinionated however. This is a canon wiki, it exists to provide factual information, adding speculative or unfounded information to articles only hinders the wiki in that regard. Wow that is extremely rude. Take a look in the Ulfric Stormcloak page history and you'll quickly see that I did go back and reference everything I added to it. And you're right in that sense, because I believe even speculated things should be referenced as well. But I was actually referring to my edits on the Soul Gems page, the Chitin Plate page and the Chitin Armor page with that comment, considering the stuff on Ulfric's article is not speculation anymore as I gathered that from in-game dialogue.

Back onto the policies though, the first point about the Trivia policy (Use this section sparingly. Only important or interesting trivia should be added....) completely goes against the definition of the word trivia itself, which is "details, considerations, or pieces of information of little importance or value." Emperor Maximus said it much better than I could, in that the Trivia section is for things of interest that don't actually contribute much to the overall article. This seems like a fantastic place to put sourced ideas in, and with the edition of some sort of tag so people know that it's not information officially confirmed by Bethesda, because until they actually confirm or comment on it, it is not false information.

Those trivia points cannot be claimed to be false until Bethesda come down here themselves and say it is. Just because they haven't said it's false, or true, doesn't make it true and CERTAINLY DOESN'T make it false. How silly would you feel constantly removing someone's trivia on the Wiki only to find out later that Bethesda confirms it as true? My point is that you people seem to have it in your head that unconfirmed speculation is entirely false, to which I'm trying to show you that it's not- it's speculative, a state where the fact is neither true nor false. Well said.
