This page should be deleted... I'm assuming whoever made this page got their 'information' from 'Ernest Drake' s dragon field guides.

Wait, are you saying it's completely plagiarized? Because information like this is all over the internet, in multiple books, and also in a post on the forums in the request section. If it is word-for-word plagiarized then we can edit it with new information, but it is a useful article to have. SH172 14:59, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Also if you look at this history, this is an old page that has undergone a lot of revisions from many of our older, trusted editors. I see no reason to delete it outright. SH172 15:02, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Not plagiarized, but generally unnecessary. If it's all over the forums, I guess we should keep it.

Few concerns about this. - How is the Gray a Chinese dragon? - Just because it's from Dragonology doesn't mean it's correct at DC. Who posted this there and exactly where? - I believe that the creator of the Skywing said it was an eastern, though my memory may be faulty. - A few comments are unneeded, such as the one about the phoenix.

Kudamon, I am sure that if there is anything wrong with it that the admins will deal with it. :) Also, it seems to me like the bit about the phoenix is just a cute little fun fact and there's no harm in it. If the creator said the skywing was eastern then I'm sure they'll change it or request for it to be changed. You're right, just because it's from Dragonology DOESN'T mean it's right for DC, it's just the book that they based their information off of, that's all. Cookiejar33 12:36, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

I agree that this page could use an update, but i don't think it's a direct copy, originally it may have been but as SH172 said the wording has been changed dramatically. I think the article explains the different dragon sub-types pretty well though. (Also, the user that put most of the info in, referenced the Dragonology book, and this user was head admin before me so i think she's trustworthy.) As for the article being unnecessary, if you think about about 25% of the articles on here are "Unnecessary" but a fun read nonetheless (Everlasting Autumn Project to name one.)

Kudamon: I think the grays being Chinese dragons but is about the bit about Asian lungs where it says "Chinese or Imperial Lung with 5 toes" which gray dragons have (technically five fingers though).

I may be wrong in this, but i think i remember dovealove calling Skywings amphiteres. Votehim 03:42, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Wrms

Hey, water dragons have no arms, legs, or wings, (or do they?), they have fin-like thins on there backs, but no apendages. That counts as a wrm, right? (yes, I know i spelled that wrong)

According to Mysfytt, she based the Shimmer off the Chinese Lung, even though it only has 4 toes. I added it to the Eastern as Chinese Lung, but I'm still unsure if I should delete it or something.
