THE CLUB PENGUIN WIKI MAKES NO GUARANTEE OF VALIDITY

The Club Penguin Wiki is an online open-content collaborative encyclopedia, that is, a voluntary association of individuals working to develop a base of ideas on, or about, Club Penguin. The structure of the project allows anyone with an Internet connection to alter its content. Please be advised that nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by people with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate or reliable information.

That is not to say that you will not find valuable and accurate information in this Wiki; much of the time you will. However, The Club Penguin Wiki cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given article may recently have been changed, vandalized or altered by someone whose opinion does not correspond with canon Club Penguin.
