@CzechOut: Where in Rule 4 is the copyright holder mentioned, even by implication?

Quoting from later in T:VS – "Extraordinary non-narrative evidence — such as the story's author directly saying that the story doesn't happen in the normal DWU – must be presented to the community for a story to be kicked out based on Rule 4."

It seems clear from the text of the page (as it currently exists) that statements by an "author" can be used to determine validity. If you want to rewrite Rule 4 to clarify your point, you have the right to do so, but as it stands the rule is vague enough that Shalka passes it.
