| - __NOWYSIWYG__ I have noticed that their is barely any information in the character infobox in the "Physical appearance" section. In it, their is only the gender and hair color. What about things like eye color, skin color, height, or weight? I know that height isn't exactly a well-known topic, but we can take a guess (like Aang's height in ATLA is most likely around 5 ft.). Here's an example for Katara: I got the information on Katara's height and weight on this website: . —Preceding unsigned comment added by SorcererSupreme21 (wall • contribs) 21:55, February 10, 2014 UTC

Here's an example for Katara: | gender = Female | hair = Dark brown, later white | eye color = Blue | skin color = Dark-skinned, light brown, tanned or whatever the correct term for that is | height = 5' 3" (1.6002 meters) | weight = 110 lbs. (49.8952 kg.) }} I got the information on Katara's height and weight on this website: . —Preceding unsigned comment added by SorcererSupreme21 (wall • contribs) 21:55, February 10, 2014 UTC we can only include information that we can confirm from an official source. her height and weight isn't confirmed, so chacha seems to have made that up, unless they got it from the artbook or something (water spout?). either way, some of the other information, like skin color, is pretty obvious just from looking at the profile picture at the top of the infobox.

As for the eye color, there used to be a parameter like that, but since it gave rise to a lot of discussion, it was removed. In any case, the physical appearance parameters are of the least importance, since there are always ample images included from which the viewer can deduce the physical appearance of the character they're looking up. 22:12, February 10, 2014 (UTC) It'd be really cool to have more in their descriptions, but they really need to be based on fact. If you can find canon evidence, it's definitely noteworthy. -Steph32597s (wall • contribs) 22:19, February 10, 2014 (UTC) Unnecessary, per everyone else. Parameters such as height and weight are always going to be subjective/estimated, so would not be included anyway, and any others that are suggested to be added can easily be observed from the images of the character. 22:29, February 10, 2014 (UTC) Height would be easier to guess than weight, and one could easily find possible/average weights based on height, age, and gender on the Internet. --SorcererSupreme21 (wall • contribs) 22:51, February 10, 2014 (UTC) Oh, and has anybody clicked the link to ChaCha yet? --SorcererSupreme21 (wall • contribs) 22:52, February 10, 2014 (UTC) Possibilities are not facts - we stick to only verified facts unless there is some need for an exception. Yes, I saw the ChaCha link, but what is the person's source for that? An anonymous guess does not a fact make. 22:57, February 10, 2014 (UTC)
