Characters that switch around, sit in grey areas, or are just plain ambiguous, left such entries open to interpretation. And it's that point that people are updating not so much by documenting what has been portrayed, but documenting a personal interpretation of what has been portrayed. The net result is that some articles have been flipped back and forth quite a lot. They would be neutral then. If they are portrayed as being both good and bad. The whole point of neutral is a middle point, a in between. If a character is being interpenetrated as both they should be neutral. The alignment of a neutral character should be locked until it is 100% clear they have picked a path. This way nobody can constantly change it or have to revert back based on interpretation.
