Misunderstanding?

Batman and Robin Eternal (BRE) is a New52 series, post-Flashpoint. You said that her eye color is listed as BROWN for Prime Earth which it is. Good.

In BRE, during the New52, they erred and initially colored her eyes blue. They admitted it was a mistake. I sent you Daniel's tweet. They're fixing the couple of messed up issues in the TPB.

For Pre-New52, before Flashpoint, Cass Cain's eyes have been BROWN. At least in the comics.

But, you've explained that DC Wikia's policy is DC Encyclopedia and Secret Files profile pages trump the actual comic appearances. No matter what.

I can't imagine that Puckett and Scott created Cass Cain, wrote her for dozens of issues, and other DC writers and artists used her too and it was just coincidence that all the colorists used BROWN for her eyes.

For Pre52, she was shown with brown eyes from creation, across issues, titles, and creative teams.

Except for the DC Encyclopedia and the Secret Files Profiles which had conflicting eye color listings.

DC Wikia policy is list what's in the DC Encyclopedia and the Secret Files Profiles - ok. It's the Wiki's rules.

But since this seems to be a very clear conflict in the Encyclopedia&Profiles, perhaps posting the paragraph below at Cass' pre52 page would be good:

"Cassandra Cain's Pre-New52 eye color is BROWN in the vast majority of her appearances, including all of the drawings by her co-creator Damion Scott. But since there are conflicting DC biographies for Cassandra Cain, DC Wiki's rules require that the biography eye colors get listed."

And please, I know you have a hard job and I agree that raving nut cases like myself who intensely lobby for this or that tiny edit are a pain.

But I'm not trying to be deceptive or "willfully ignoring two canon sources" - the first profile in 1999 said blue, 2002 said green, 2004 said green, 2005 said BROWN, and 2008 said green. I'm listing out what they said and not trying to hide anything.

But those profiles conflict. And not considering what actually in the comics seems sub-optimal to me. (still talking pre52 here)

I'm also bummed out that my posting an update to her eye color that conflicted with the Encyclopedia earned a temporary ban "because you defaced the page". I only thought I was correcting an error and had no malice at all.

Please believe me that I never wanted to cause a fuss and had I known about the Encyclopedia rule, I'd never have registered at Wikia and taken up your time.

I'm sorry.
