We prefer to avoid putting things like that directly into the middle of articles. It breaks the encylopedic tone. Besides, the info is out of date. I would suggest noting that records of legion sizes are contradictory and then, in a separate section that is 'real-world' in tone, explain the confusion, ie the HH artbooks say hundreds of thousands, Andy Chambers says tens of thousands, the HH authors bounced about between these two points of view, ADB recently said they've agreed on the hundreds of thousands angle etc. THanks.--[[User:Mob|Mob]] 12:45, 19 February 2011 (UTC) | We prefer to avoid putting things like that directly into the middle of articles.

Instructions for adding chapters, to avoid any simple stupid mistakes
1st) Be absolutly sure. That means you need to have the source (codex, novel, White Dwarf, computer game, etc) in your hands. Please do not add a chapter you saw a while back in a White Dwarf. Let's avoid mistakes as far as possible, OK?
2nd) Provide your source! Put the source in the "sources and reference". Anything else than a codex has to be linked (with the numbers) (info from novels is not as official as codex's I'm afraid). IF you are unable to provide an official source then DON'T ADD IT (find the source first please), as your entry WILL BE DELETED without mercy.
3rd)Try to put your chapter in the cronological place. Let me explain that. If the chapter was founded in the 4 founding then put it before a chapter founded in the 26 founding.
4th)Please be careful. Irulan 20:01, 10 March 2007 (CET)
The 'Andy Chambers said' bit
We prefer to avoid putting things like that directly into the middle of articles. It breaks the encylopedic tone. Besides, the info is out of date. I would suggest noting that records of legion sizes are contradictory and then, in a separate section that is 'real-world' in tone, explain the confusion, ie the HH artbooks say hundreds of thousands, Andy Chambers says tens of thousands, the HH authors bounced about between these two points of view, ADB recently said they've agreed on the hundreds of thousands angle etc. THanks.--Mob 12:45, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
