It doesn't look like the theories were removed, just the responses. WMG is not meant to be a forum, so technically removing natter isn't against the rules.

I see, may I ask was the removed examples "natter"? I did not think it was, but I could be mistaken. On WMG how does one gauge "natter"

While WMG is not for chatting, I don't see what's much different about those deleted paragraphs from the others that say if a theory is more or less believable. If WMG isn't meant to have responses, then 1. WMG needs to be specific about its format 2. most of the pages are like this.

WMG is kind of odd, in that the rules about Natter are still there, but kinda not as strictly enforced (if I'm honest, I'm not even certain what the rules are myself).

In theory, you can respond to or elaborate on a WMG (because unlike the rest of the wiki it's some random person's guess, so the "using one voice" guideline doesn't apply), but...

Thanks you kindly. It is indeed a bit of balancing act sometimes.

Maybe we should Wiki Talk this. Everything at Sub Wiki falls of from editing rules, but not all of them have stated rules of their own.
