New Citation Policy
Since people cannot seem to follow the rules when editing the wiki, and more so after multiple reminders to do so, it's apparent that the disregard for the rules is rather rampant. It's going to stop. NOW. Until such a time as I deem necessary, failure to provide citations for edits will not only result in immediate reversion of the edit(s) in question, it will also result in a lengthy block of no less than 3 months in length (to start) and may be longer depending on the degree and frequency of offense and block history. I don't care if you're a new editor or a veteran one - there is NO excuse for not citing sources as required by the wiki's rules. Veteran editors, especially, have been around long enough to know the rules and what is required - there are no excuses.

I don't care if it's in a movie and you've seen it (while everyone else may not have yet), or if it's in scans. If scans exist, then a source exists which can be cited. If it's in a movie, then the movie's website likely has a citable reference. If you can state it as factual because you've seen it in some form, then a source exists somewhere which can be cited. If you cannot provide a source, then it is NOT to be added until you find one. Blocks issued for this reason will not be lifted, nor will appeals be entertained for them - it is YOUR responsibility to be familiar with, and abide by, the rules. Needing to be the first person to post something on the wiki is not an acceptable excuse for disregarding the rules.
