::I also disagree. Indeed, this statement conflicts with [[TG:MOS#Canon]], which not only states that citations to reliable sources are needed to support theories, but that ''in-text attribution'' also must be included so that it's clear who proposed the theory. The OR policy and the MOS couldn't be more different on this point. [[User:Protospace|Protospace]] 08:45, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

I also disagree. Indeed, this statement conflicts with TG:MOS#Canon, which not only states that citations to reliable sources are needed to support theories, but that in-text attribution also must be included so that it's clear who proposed the theory. The OR policy and the MOS couldn't be more different on this point. Protospace 08:45, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
