Talk:Illuminati

From Lexicanum

• as an aside, only Illuminati are permitted entry to the Black Library, and all Harlequins are Illuminati - info from WD 105/106, Realms of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned and The Inquisition Wars series of books.
• Harlequins are Eldar so how can they be Illuminati who are humans?--Jonru 18:54, 12 December 2006 (CET)

My first reaction to his article and the related ones (Sensei, Star Child) was something along the lines of "What the heck is all this hippy nonsense doing in W40k?!" So when I found out Gav Thorpe forcibly removed it from later canon because he thought it was a lot of hippy nonsense, I felt an immediate sense of vindication. So I can't help but wonder why the information in these articles isn't presented with a disclaimer that makes it blindingly obvious it's no longer considered canon. Without clear indications that "none of this is true anymore", you might as well be writing a geography textbook with a section explaining how the world is flat, because people used to believe that.
