Forum:SH Archive/Canonical precedence: the Databank vs. West End Games?

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

If information given in the Databank conflicts with information in a West End Games sourcebook, does the Databank take precedence in canon? If so, should the non-canon information be corrected within Wookieepedia articles, or should the conflicting information from both sources be included and be noted as speculative?

For example: the Databank article for Lyn Me states that she was not present at the Skirmish at Carkoon, but the Star Wars Trilogy Sourcebook - Special Edition says not only that she was there but that she and Greeata saved the band from Tusken Raiders on their way back to Mos Eisley.

The West End Games article here states that "Lucasfilm's current continuity policies have not removed West End Games material from the body of Star Wars canon, except for character and item statistics (which are considered non-canonical game mechanics) and certain background information contradicted by later published stories."
