All information should be under one of these sections. We should place information under Proposed Canon only if we have no doubts that this information is correct, and Rob, Jamie, or one of their deputies will regularly sweep through and promote endorsed Proposed Canon to Canon (most users should never edit the Canon section themselves). It is always safe to put information under Speculation.
