Talk:Crumble

I feel odd putting Spec lines in a homebrew entry, but it's not my homebrew. It's from Alanik Ray's archives. If my thoughts are as non-canon as the original, should I delineate it this way? DeepShadow 02:30, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Man, if I only knew the kind of hairs we'd have to split around here.... I'd have brought a sharper scalpel. :) I dunno... I guess it doesn't hurt to label it. I mean, suppose someone edited an entry on something of yours, say something about Kara's Daughters. You'd probably appreciate that the speculation was labelled as such, no? -- Gonzoron 04:23, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Also, if it's from Alanik Ray's archives, it's probably a good idea to cite it. Added -- Gonzoron 04:23, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I hear you. Still, some of these "specs" are painfully obvious, so much so that we'd have to stick a sign up to keep people from editing them. Like Anthrazit Brew. The original said it was a vodka brewed from Ghastrian grains. If I wrote that, I'd actually be _grateful_ to the editor who came along and pointed out that vodka is made from potatoes. Here's my idea: we say that these are derived from the list on Alanik's site, and point people to that list, maybe even have a link. Then we include a note that, this being a wiki, it may not exactly resemble the original. Thus, the authors get credit, the wiki gets to be a living text like its supposed to be, and no one has to put "potatoes" in spec brackets when we all know that's how you get vodka.

Okay, now I'm editing all of them to add the citations, and I think not having a citation is enough here to suggest it's not part of the original. I prefer that to putting spec brackets in an entry that's already non-canon. DeepShadow 06:38, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
