Ah, but we also archived M4R articles (such as the Serenian Flute) before its release, didn't we?
Those were specifically sent to me by UbiSoft for publishing as part of the pre-release press (Mary DeMarle actually provided the photographs and the base descriptions for me). They weren't speculations based on incomplete information. There was no information regarding To D'ni or Path of the Shell in the Archive prior to those releases, and what we had of Uru before release was only what had been solidly confirmed because of the DRC website. Since Uru's release it's been policy not to post information from games that haven't been released yet because it just means having to do MORE editing later on, and I would rather have complete and accurate articles the
first time than have a pile of old and out-of-date, incorrect articles that hang out in the Archive un-noticed for months until someone happens to say "hey, that's not right" or we pick it up on a sweep of the Archive, which is practically a continual process anymore, but we try to do a full sweep at least once a year.
