Thank you. You may also want to discuss with them Categories Unneeded by Default. Three for example… Sons, Daughters, and Humans. With uniquely rare exception, ALL biological-characters are *someone's* Son/Daughter. Which means that virtually every bio-character will have those Cats. Mothers/Fathers is useful as not everyone has that life-role, but Son/Daughter? Everyone is.

As for Humans… isn't that the *default* for characters? Isn't it enough to Categorize those who are not Human? Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable, Rose(American Dragon), Prince Eric(Little Mermaid), Luke Skywalker are human; Warmonga is not(Alien(Lorwardian)), Jake Long is not(dragon), Ariel is not(mermaid/folk/people), Yoda is not(Alien(was his race ever mentioned?)), R2-D2 is not(robot/android/droid).

IMO Cat'ing all the Humans is not only unnecessary, but makes for a HUGE page. In the ADJL Wiki, I struck down all three of those Cats for the reasons I just covered.

Another thought: Who determines what ethnicity characters are when they are not mentioned in their franchises? For a specific example: Kim Possible's Will Du. He is Cat'd as Asian Characters. Who determined/determines this? It was not mentioned in the show. His appearance and mannerisms just as easily mark him as Mediterranean/Turkish. Now, I would imagine someone would say "his VA, B.D.Wong is Asian", which I'm sorry is weak sauce. By that reasoning Kim's uncle Slim Possible is a black man because his VA is black. And how many boys/males are voiced by females(mostly Tara Strong :p )?

My point here is, when someone makes a determination on their own without canon support, sometimes in the vacuum of missing canon support, then it is Fan interpretation and or Fan Reasoning, and that to leads to Fanon creeping in. Safest thing to do in situations where there is nothing from canon to provide answers is to leave it alone.

I feel these are things your Admins should address.

Okay, that's enough from my corner. I hope I've given y'all enough to think about and reassess with wiki practices, and no more unsolicited input from moi.
