Here's how I was thinking it would work:

1. A thread about a major topic (one of the title characters, for example) reaches a certain number of different (and potentially valid) theories.

2. By vote, the four best theories are chosen. I don't know whether the vote would be on the thread, or the thread's creator could set up a blog for it.

3. Once the four theories are chosen, someone (IDK who) asks an admin for a green light to add them to an article.

4. If said admin approves the request, someone (also picked by vote, maybe) could write up the "Speculation" tab and post it on the article, with a link to the thread (or maybe blog) from which it originated. If not, the process ends there.

5. If a theory is disproven by a newly released episode, the theory would be taken down, and may or may not be replaced with a new one.

6. If  four total theories are disproved, an Admin or otherwise prominent user removes the Speculation tab from the article entirely (this will probably happen for most of the main characters once we reach the mid-season finale), with an announcement shortly before doing so.
