Some thoughts and requests (I'll also add theories if I see other theory's in the section do not have links) :
GeneralMaybe this is just happening to me but whenever I click the sources links they always direct me to the 1st page of the relevant thread. Wouldn't it be more convenient for the links to direct you to the page in which the theory is proposed?
If "only theories which have already been widely discussed/criticized by the community can be nominated" than why do many of the theories here not have links? Even if we can't find the original thread it was discussed in, shouldn't we at least be able to find
a thread it was discussed in (presumably the one which made us decide that the theory has been widely discussed/criticized? Even if there are multiple threads discussing it and we can't find all of them, even one link is better than no links. Should we really have theories with no links here?
Black CourtI would like to request that the "there is a link between the Black Court and the outsiders" rating have a bracketed sentence next to it that says that the theory changes to
Highly Speculative if Harry meant Black
Council and Black Court is a typo.
BlackstaffI checked both the links to the "Blackstaff is MW's walking stick" theory and I don't think it deserves the
Very Strong Evidence rating. Jim said that the WC stole the blackstaff from someone who really wants it back. This...does not narrow things down. The only indicator that we have that MW is the one who wants it back is that Jim is a self proclamed "lazy writer". I'm not saying that the theory isn't strong, just that it doesn't deserve
Very Strong Evidence status. I think that it should be changed to blue.
Blood RitesTheory:The thing seen behind Kincaid could be a symbolic representation of Drakul.
EDIT: I think this quote from page 189 of the DFRPG: Our World, under the "Mavra" entry:
She looks exactly the same to the Sight as she does to normal vision.
Pretty much debunks the "Mavra under veil seen in Sight behind Kincaid" theory.
HW beltsWhy is Raith making the HW belts rated
Strong Evidence? We have seen no indication that he is a practitioner (in fact, he often recruits women to do magic for him) and Harry himself says that only about 3 people in the entire White Council could make them.
Mothers Winter/SummerThe "they are God" theory doesn't have a rating (and since the G is capitalized, shouldn't it say the White God?).
ParasiteTheory: the parasite is Nemesis (this doesn't have to contradict the Walker theory either).
SwordsTheory: Faith Astor is going to take up Fidelacchius (link:
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,35837.0.html) I know it doesn't have 3 pages of discussion but hey, at least I have a link.
OutsidersThe third Walker could also be called He-Who-Walks-Between.
NumerologyHere's a link to the thread where the theory originated:

Drakul
On page 77 of the DFRPG: Our World, under the "half demons" entry, the books says:
Vlad Drakul is one example
Note that they don't say he
could be one or that he's
probably one. They outright say he's one. Does this downgrade the rating of the "Drakul is the scion of a dragon" theory?
