Non-canon information
Please review MA:CANON, as the non-canon information you removed from Kurlan was properly in the article, as it was formatted into a background note and written without the in-universe POV the main part of the article uses. 31dot (talk) 20:21, June 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I believe that you should review MA:CANON, as it makes no provision for including non-canon information in background notes. It states that background notes are for production information that is related to canon sources. Jarvald (talk) 23:26, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Pardon my poor word choice; but if you examine larger articles with Apocrypha sections, you will see much non-canon information there. Shorter articles, such as the one you edited, can contain such information formatted into a background note(the title of the template used). 31dot (talk) 23:29, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
