Right, ok

Apologies time

I was fed up with people constantly telling em, without ever using any evidence, that Grapefruit is a child. There is no evidence of this anywhere, and yet it's put on the Wiki as fact. This made me dount the Wiki as a whole, so I decided that a 3AM crusade for truth was a good idea. It was mostly not. I'll explain my reasoning for each change I made (And the few I didn't make) below, but know I am sorry for Most opf them, as I was just being stupid and letting salt from one article hvang false info everyone just took at face value blind me;

With Skater and gumball, I actually looked on their pages for any mention of the child's day promotion, of which there was none, and I went to the page, and saw the image did not include ether of them, so I just made an assumption. I should have done more reaserch into it, and I apologize, I was wholely wrong to change these two, my bad.

With Peppermint and Pancake, we run into a simlar issue of the Wiki not stating any information that would confirm them as children, weither that be because there is no information or the wiki is just lacking it, I don;t know. But unlike the previous two, these two are also dressed up very much like children (Espially Pepermint) and both talk in extremely child-like ways, with pancake talking like an overexcited 8 year old hopped up on sugar and pepermint talking like the calm, intoroverted 11 year old kid who's been forced to play with him. For these reasons, their status as children was extremely obvious, so I choose not to edit their pages.

Now onto Mustard, we hit the change I have any real ground to stand on, however, I entirely understand why some would interpret Mustard as a child now. Mustard's Desc ssays she's 'mature for her cookie age', which is a trait that can be used to refer to children. However, this can also be applied to young adults, as many can be quite immature themselves despite being legally adults. But what made me think of her as an adult, and what I still belive provides enough evidence to call her age into question, is her 'Nonconformist Artist' outfit. Specifically, the backstory released with it and what it was released with; In the backstory, it specifically states she cares about her art over grades, and implies she's a dropout or at least had no plans of continuing her education after school. This already implies that she's at least a late teen, but what makes me think of her as a young adult is the fact that this outfit released with Rockstar's, Ice candy's, Herb's and Alchemist's school outfits, and they are all very much adult cookies. Seems very odd to release Mustard's HS outfit along with everyone else's if she were still in HS, while everyone else was clearly graduated and had jobs. It very much implies to me that she's an adult, as much as the rest of them.

But, again, I can see why someone would interpret Mustard as a child. I disagree heavilly, but I can see why that is.

Onto squid, however, I must now ask you a question; Where does it imply Squid cookie only recently formed? No, seriously, no where on their page does it say anything of the sort, it only says they have no memories of attacking the black sugar. In fact, there are multiple references to Squid cookie having amnesia in their dialouge, and the line "Lost... Everything..." implies they have a past that they can remember, if barely. Normally I'd say the evidence for Squid being not recently formed outweighs the evidence that they are, but there straight up is NO evidence that they were recently formed. That is pure headcanon, and has no basis in reality. I will not Apologize for trying to edit their page, because there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that they are even remotely close to being a child. There's no evidence for their age at all! Squid's page is marred by a fan theory that has no basis in reality, and yet is taken as fact. This is not what a Wiki is for, and this is the kind of mis-information that got me to do my inital edits in the first place, wrong as most of them are.

And it's the same deal for grapefruit too. Grapefruit at least acts kind of childish, but acting like a child and acting childish are two entirely different things, and it should not be taken as fact that she is a child when the only evidence to those points, her dialouge and her wheelies, are very weak at best, as adults often act very childish, and Grapefruit's "wheelies" are called skates in the game, and considering CR's artyle, likely look that way because she's so small, rather then actually being junior skates or wheelies. And even if they were wheelies, Adults wear them too, so even that is not real solid evidence twords being a child ether. Plus, she was clearly made to be tied to the Citrus trio, who are all adults, and again, why would they tie a cookie to toher cookie if they wern't similar?

Overall, while I apologize for my false edits of Skater and Gumball's pages, and I understand where people are coming from with Mustard, Squid and Grapefruit ARE NOT CHILDREN. There is NO evidence that they are aside from fan theories, and the fact a Wiki would take those as fact is disgracful and defeats the point of a wiki if you are unable to recive reliable information from it.

(Also, while doing much mroe extensive reaserch for thsi response, I came across an odd fact; Despite expcitly being shown to be in Highschool, a very expecit sign a character is a minor, cheerleader is not label as a child. Couldn't find a place to put it in the main argument, so I tacked it on at the end.)
