 :The difficult part is that in many cases, the players themselves are the most reliable source of their own accomplishments, especially for regional and smaller events where the documentation is patchier or for international scenes (I'm pretty sure almost all of our coverage of the Argentina scene is via Joaco and Daraen). As you pointed out, we already have notes about "ownership" for user pages (as well as [[SmashWiki:Images|images]]), but I don't think it warrants its own whole policy page. Perhaps a section on [[SW:NOT]] ("SmashWiki's content does not belong to individuals", or something similar) would be sufficient?

+::If I wasn't clear enough earlier, there is absolutely nothing inherently wrong with players editting their own pages, and I'd like to make it clear that even if we did go through with an Ownership and/or Conflict of Interest policy, I would want it to clearly state that there is nothing wrong with Smashers doing such edits.  There is only a problem if a conflict of interest occurs, potentially stemming from the idea a smasher page belongs to the smasher himself or herself.
+::Now, I did consider merely adding a note to SW:NOT, similar to what you're saying, but I feel the nuances between the different types of pages we have (mainspace, Smasher, User, Image, etc.) would make this sort of route too "narrow", since most SW:NOT guidelines are intended to be concise and to the point. Each space, I feel, has sufficient differences between each other that a full-on policy would not seem too overkill.
+::Of course, I'm always open to further input.
