And - its a wiki. If you don't like it, edit it. Make it go away, if you like.
That would be very bad style, and defeat the whole purpose of the thing: I could go in and remove all council votings, change all treaties and tweak the rules (a real dragon is always chief of council because of it's inherent superiority) - thereby starting a nice editing war. And the game will go down about that.

I can't see that many 'hard facts' there besides that what the game tells us anyway. To make something at least somewhat useful from it, I would have to know either A) where Abysias or Mictlans home is or B) where Machaka met Mictlan. Ok, there must be a river somewhere. Might give me a vague clue about the location. Only if I had some scouts in the general area I could pin down things more, but then I would see the castle anyway, btw.

So I (the player - don't anyone mention the council in this regard!!!) vote for keeping the news&rumors for roleplaying reasons.

PS: If you find out something about your neighbours/potential enemies, why don't you add a appropiate rumour yourself? Hey, you don't need to find something, just come up with something nice&plausible !
