Neutral Point of View
[edit source]Does this line show neutral point of view? "These little stubs can be very addicting. So, it is only a matter of time before they invade your own home!" Sorry, i'm new and didn't want to delete the line without asking. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.186.109 (talk) 21:43, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
Why also American English?
[edit source]This is because despite the toys made in Australia, the official packaging for Shopkins uses American English, and in official media, the animation/commercials are created in Australia, but also with production companies in the United States. For proof, all three movies in the franchise use American voice actors and have production companies from the United States (Universal) to help with Moose. Their spin-off web series, Kindi Kids, is the same too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.193.250.228 (talk) 14:09, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- There are two problems with this. The first is that an article cannot be written in two different styles of English. Per MOS:ENGVAR, articles which do not have an obvious link to a single variety of English should retain whatever variety they were initially written in.
- The second problem is we don't know for sure that all of Shopkins products use American English. Often, products will have different packaging for different markets. I found a a Canadian press release for a Shopkins product which uses Canadian English. Any claims of how official packaging and media describe a product will need reliable sources. Looking at press releases, commercials, etc. and coming to a conclusion about ALL official packaging and media would be original research. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Thank you.

Real Littles?
[edit source]Why is this page specifically called “Real Littles” Shopkins when it covers the entire toy line and not just the Real Littles? 86.13.247.51 (talk) 17:55, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
