After a discussion with Deangelo on my American Dragon Jake Long Talk page, feel free to read it, I took a perusal around the ADJL pages on Disney Wiki.

I've got to say it is *riddled* with non-canon and fan-interpretation/fanon. I'm almost afraid to look deeper or at the pages related to my other Disney-based Wikis.

Just a few concerning American Dragon: birth-dates and ages not mentioned in the show. Mis-applied categories. For example, Fathers, Parents, Husbands/Wives applied to Jake and Rose. This is due to a couple scenes in one episode where Jake imagines himself as older with a son. That Rose shares these Cats is probably due to the fanon she is his wife in those imaginings, although unseen or mentioned.

Another mis-Cat led me to its page: Humans which were turned into animals. That is filled with even *more* mis-applied pages. For example. Jake and various dragons. They are *dragons* which turn into humans, not the other way around (Jake to his mother: "When are you going to tell Dad he married into a family of magical reptiles?"). Jasmine(American Dragon) likewise is a magical creature which is human by day but true form revealed at night (Fu Dog: "…when the moon reaches a point in the night sky, her true form is revealed…"). If anything, there should be a New Category:Creatures which can appear human.

Other mis-Cats deal with Deceased Characters. For example Strigoi… in AmDrag the entire race, which is the topic, is not deceased, only one particular group.

These category mis-applications are, IMO and experience, due to "category chasers", editors who wish to pad their edit-counts. But much are a result of *their* interpretations, which means they are *fan interpretations*, which is how Fanon creeps in.

I think you and the other admins should discuss how canon-pure you wish to keep the Disney Wiki. Also what degree of Good Will y'all wish to maintain with the administrators of the various Disney-based Wikis. Let me know if y'all'd like me to return to help set some of these things straight, cause I'm not going to risk Blocks, which will interfere with my planned future wiki adoptions.

FWIW, I'm a mature woman with mostly-grown children. I'm not some overly-enthused youth prone to excitedly over-reacting. When I see a potential conflict with another editor on wikis where I'm not administration, I stop to avoid edit-warring, and try to initiate conversations. Which should be a course of action encouraged of all your contributors.
