Regarding your edit to the Ripper Roo article
Hey, thanks for joining Bandipedia. Sorry I had to revert your edit though, but that's because it wasn't complaint with a couple of things we had... not established very well, to be honest. We're kind of doing things weirdly in that we recently decided on doing a specific category of articles in a specific manner without making this very obvious and applying it to most of the popular articles within the category. Sorry about that.

The reason I reverted your article is due to the aforementioned changes to the section of articles on Crash Bandicoot characters. This means:
 * Bandipedia character articles are to follow a structure similar to what can be seen in the Ripper Roo article as of Salmonistan's latest edit.
 * The section that your edit renames to as "History" should now remain as "Appearances". We prefer to use terminology that is less associated with the concept of continuity in a narrative work, as the Crash Bandicoot franchise doesn't follow a singular narrative in general.
 * It is also preferred for section titles to not be links to other articles.

However, you're free to add some of the changes you made to the article outside of the ones mentioned above. Do mind, however, that:
 * While the English manual for Crash 1 does indeed suggest that Ripper Roo may have been zapped twice with the Evolvo-Ray, to the point of insanity, it doesn't indicate that the reason his fur is blue is because of this.
 * To my memory, it is not stated anywhere that Ripper Roo is called "Doctor Roo" in any piece of Crash Bandicoot media. This is a fanmade name.
 * It's probably best not to suggest that Ripper Roo's home is the waterfall temple, and that he personally renovated it. This is a superfluous detail that is not supported by much of anything.

In particular, we at Bandipedia don't want to imply that the Crash Bandicoot series follows a single overarching narrative unlike other video game series do. Think of it like Mario, basically, where each game is self-contained and anything goes.

So, yeah, sorry I had to tell you about our rules this way. I appreciate the edit, though, you're always welcome to edit anything on Bandipedia. --Superstarxalien (talk) 16:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
