I'm pretty sure our policy is to comment out zero-context examples (which these already had been) instead of deleting them. ~Princess Lulu 6 should not have deleted them.
Can they be rolled back by a mod, then? I noticed there were full edits as well.
I know more about obscure 1990s Middle Grade Literature novels than most people.
Bumping; asking for a mod's rollback to restore the entries on the page so they can be expanded.
Edited by Nethilia I know more about obscure 1990s Middle Grade Literature novels than most people.
A few of those commented-out examples were expanded upon/un-commented-out for having context + a character image was added. A mod revert would undo these. So here are the edits to be restored after the mod revert, listed chronologically and formatted in a way that they can be copy-pasted back:
- * LanguageBarrier: Between Kaya and Two Hawks in the second and third books, and Hawk Rising in ''The Silent Stranger.'' Justified that they belong to different tribes, since Native Americans spoke a variety of languages, even though they live in close proximity.
- * SmallNameBigEgo: Kaya is prone to boast or brag to seem important.
Felicity Merriman:
- * KidHero: In several books, mainly when freeing Penny and saving Ben.
- * OppositesAttract: Elizabeth as she and her family are loyalists so they don’t support the revolution.
- * RebelliousSpirit: She's free-spirited and rebellious for the time period. For example wearing breaches once and riding astride rather than sidesaddle, which a woman in her time would.
Elizabeth Cole:
- * BestFriend: Felicity. Despite their families supporting opposing of the revolutionary war, they still remain good friends.
Addy Walker:
- * ToxicFriendInfluence: Harriet is a mean girl to Addy, and discourages her from making friends with NiceGirl Sarah.
Isabel Hoffman:
- * CheeryPink: An optimistic girl clothed constantly in pink; it's her favorite color.
Claudie Wells:

I've reverted the edit.
I've restored the edits that were true expansions and additions and corrected poorly written grammar. The following aren't accurate or are still ZCEs:
Felicity Merriman:
- Kid Hero: In several books, mainly when freeing Penny and saving Ben. (This doesn't explain the specifics of either, just states two disconnected events.)
Isabel Hoffman:
- Cheery Pink: An optimistic girl clothed constantly in pink; it's her favorite color.
(edited title: originally ZC Es removed from American Girl Characters page.)
Princess Lulu 6 cut all the zero context entries
from the Characters.American Girls Collection Historical Characters page. I know a good part of them may work—I was the one who commented them out some time back—but the tropes listed more need expansion than removal. I'm exceptionally familiar with the works but have to consult my library to do so with several so as to be accurate the first time. Is this something that should be restored, and can I do it? There's so many it might be best to have a mod roll it back.
