The optimist in me wants to say 'yes', especially to such a useful Editor such as yourself. But, as Frabby made clear recently on another issue, we really need to restrict ourselves to 'reporting' rather than 'deciphering'. Rather simply put, if someone disagrees with your analysis and you don't have the straight, cold facts to back it, it detracts from the value of the work.
I'd ask you: would such analysis fit better into a discussion on a forum or maybe an essay? Or is this something you can state simply in one of our articles, with a reference (or two)? Are you saying 'significant' as defined by just you or does a source (character, in-universe report, etc.) say that? In the last question, the former would be analysis, the latter would be reported. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 20:15, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
