This was originally from a blog I made, but this seemed more formal.

I want to bring up the concept of alternate universes and propose seperating the book characters vs. their animated selfs which are inspired by/adapted from, but not actually one and the same.

I know some people would rather bury their heads in the ground (some users on Scoobypedia do) than rather accept this and treat it as one complete continuity, that the Arthur in the original book is the same we're watching in the cartoon, but in reality that just isn't the case. They're doing their own seperate things and they are not in conjuction with each other. Similar to how the Superman you see in one form isn't always the same Superman you see in another. They live in independent worlds, so to speak.

So like I said, my proposition is to seperate as much as possible these different continuites of these characters, and those pages can concentrate on those individual subjects. The book characters can focus on the book incarnations and the animated ones can focus on the cartoon incarnations. What I mean specificly is, seperate incarnations for the PBS TV show and the Marc Brown books, etc.. They would also be less of a clutter and trying to make things more cohesive on pages when seperating them would solve that issue altogether. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk) 15:09, May 29, 2015 (UTC)
