CITE YOUR DAMN SOURCES[citation needed]

We aren't as picky about citations as certain other wikis are[1] but it would be nice if you could cite your sources when referring to things like the emails, videos and comics. see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php#Usage for how to cite sources using the "Cite" extension(which is installed).

Remember - only publicly available sources are acceptable to cite. PVCC posts, private audio recordings, media of dubious origins, etc. are not acceptable to cite.
