:I think so. I think we should allow putting the "signatures" into the articles (as Lumenos does here) if there is no link or reference that can be easily provided or when there is a reference but it is too long for most to read to find the relevant information. Newbies may not understand what these names are but I value accuracy and I think it is not too difficult to understand or it least, it shouldn't be too distracting if they want to ignore it. What do you think? ([[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]]) | :I think so.

To resolve or set boundaries on conflict, I ([[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]]) suggest we work with the community here to establish policies that attempt to reflect how they want this content filtered and organized.
