Talk:Anthony DiNozzo

message: I am not sure that writing DiNozzo as one word is in fact correct. This family name should either be spelt as Di Nozzo or as Dinozzo. Italian is not Gaelic and one-word constructs such as MacSomeone, after which the spelling DiNozzo is clearly shaped, are unknown to the Italian language. Anyhow I see that the Italian Wikipedia has accepted that spelling, too. 83.189.194.106 01:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Spelling of Family Name

message: I don't think that Tony dating Jeanne is part of an undercover operation to trap La Grenouille. That's pretty cold blooded, and I don't think Tony would go along with that. I could see the Director ordering that, but Tony did seem pretty surprised to see La Grenouille. -- SFH 20:15, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I thought that the removal of the exchange from Hung Out To Dry (the one recently removed) is supposed to be ironic, as Baltimore has a reputation, justified or not, for having a big drugs problem. Hence the inclusion. Editus Reloaded (talk) 21:10, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inconsistency in career 

message: It would be nice to have a list of the movies DiNozzo references in the episodes. 
And BTW in rewatching the 1st season on USA, Tony does not start the series as a movie fan. It is odd that his character did a 360 on this. --67.171.222.198 (talk) 21:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Whats particularly grating on me is the "In episode..." constanlt used at the start of every sentence.  I am trying to rewrite this article but it takes time and making it proper wiki is trying my patience Matt Zero (talk) 13:07, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

text: I don't even know where to start editing this section. There's a lot of fan spec and a lot of the information seems unnecessary for the article. I don't want to actually delete large amounts of it, but the section in its entirety is basically available on this fan wiki. I wonder if it would be possible to cut the section down to a short blurb and cite the fan wiki so that if people wanted to go deeper into fan spec they can follow the link and do so? Any suggestions? Ushabti7 (talk) 06:46, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

text: This section makes up more than half of the article, it is bloated with trivia, and at best is only rehashing plot information.  It should only be stated in relevance to the critical commentary of the character, with good secondary sources.  I move for the entire section to be removed. – Reidgreg (talk) 20:27, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relationships 

message: Decided to make some notes on Tony as I watch NCIS again from the beginning. Maybe enough to summarise into the main article at some later point.
* Cub scout (s01E18)
* liked dating younger women. Ref S01E19 scene of team looking at Pacci's surveillance photos and S01E10 during banter between Tony and Abby re dating older men. 
* Worse ways to die (compared to falling off a steep cliff): Eaten by a shark, buried alive, falling into a woodchipper (S01E22)
* Thought about becoming a doctor once. not a gynaecologist but a dermatologist (normal hours, big bucks, never an emergency) S02E08
* had cybersex with hotjokes24. S02E09
* Wears shoes size 12. S02E11

thread_title:  Why the SERIOUS editing? 

message: Hey, I was just wondering why it is stated that Tony speaks fluent English. He's a third generation Italian in the USA so I'd say it's pretty logical that he speaks fluent English. What's worth mentioning, I think, is that he speaks Italian too, at least to some degree I think. I don't know if it's really fluent. Chocolatery (talk) 15:50, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Couldn't we get a different picture of Tony on here, as much as I like the picture it gives here, a promotional picture or another picture where you can see his entire face and perhaps his torso because the picture shown here, in my opinion, isn't a really good picture. It's acceptable, but not good.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.209.110 (talk) 20:15, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Profile picture 

message: I tried to add the alternate reality regarding Kate & Tony's relationship in the show's 200th episode 'Life before his eyes' to the page twice, and it was removed both times. 
Because of what was depicted of their relationship in that episode was very significant, I strongly feel that it should be included on Tony's character page as well. Especially considering their alternate reality was explained in detail on Kate's character page, so it should be included on Tony's character page too.   
Forgive me if I am wrong...but at the moment, I can't help but have suspicions about the person who kept removing the info about Kate/Tony's alternate reality I posted from the page, suspicions that this person simply just don't want such intimate details about Kate/Tony's relationship being posted on Tony's character page.
 
And if this person continues to remove this piece of info about Kate/Tony's alternative reality from Tony's character page, regardless. Then that just makes this person all the more suspicious.   
PS. I have edited my original complaint regarding this issue, because I've come to realize that my initial remark was too harsh & rude towards the person in question. If that person is reading this, I do apologize if I am wrong about you, I didn't mean to offend or upset you...but I do hope you understand why I have such suspicions.

replies: text: No, I don't understand why you have any suspicions at all. Please, assume good faith. The content was removed for the reasons in the edit summaries, and on your talk page, and I said that the content belonged in the episode article, so how you arrived at having "suspicions that this person simply just don't want such intimate details about Kate/Tony's relationship being posted" makes no sense. This article is essentially a biography of the character. It should be treated as we would treat any biography of a real person. Regarding part of your original post, ie "I see a lot of info posted by others on this page that contained details about what happened in the episodes regarding Tony's relationship with the other certain characters", the difference here is that these things actually happened and shows DiNozzo's actual interactions with other characters. What was shown in the 200th episode never actually happened. What you added was something that only appeared in a single episode, long after Kate died. It never "actually" happened, it was only something that was offered as what might have happened and it was only something that Gibbs saw. As such, it doesn't belong in the article because it's not part of DiNozzo's biography. It belongs in the article on the episode, and it might deserve a mention as something Gibbs saw in his article, but it doesn't belong here. --AussieLegend (talk) 13:45, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

text: This is a little bit late, so I don't know if it will matter, but I think there is one simple reason why it is included on Kate's page but not Tony's: Kate is dead. It makes more sense to include a mention of what might have happened if she lived, like how it includes the various times she is mentioned in later episodes. However, it is not of any great impact to DiNozzo's character, and, as the previous commentator said, did not actually happen. It was one of multiple alternate reality scenaries that Gibbs imagined, and frankly this one didn't make a lot of sense to me, as it is all in Gibbs' head and he is so adamately against coworkers dating. --2602:304:6F77:6E99:B1EF:541:B312:41CA (talk) 02:55, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Honestly, I see no problem with a very short mention of this alternate reality, not a lengthy description of a rather brief scene, but something like, "In 'Life Before his Eyes' it is implied that Kate and DiNozzo may have eventually become a couple had she lived". --2602:304:6F77:6E99:B1EF:541:B312:41CA (talk) 03:00, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  removal of Kate/Tony alternate reality...what gives? 

message: This notice was put at the top of the page in March 2011: "This article describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. Please help rewrite it to explain the fiction more clearly and provide non-fictional perspective." I think this problem has since been rectified and would like to remove the notice. --68.6.227.26 (talk) 05:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  In-universe 

message: I'm posting this on the pages for Ziva David and Anthony DiNozzo as it concerns both of them. There is currently an issue with the sections on the characters' relationship in both articles. In each case, these sections are the largest part of the part of the articles and are comprised mostly of speculation and plot. Also, they essentially say the same thing. Because of the length and the amount of material that might need to be added to comply with Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction, I think that a split would be the best way to go. There's enough sources for the subject to have its own article, and this way would allow it to be covered in a more nonfictional, neutral, and comprehensive way without dominating the original pages.
The split wouldn't be immediate; it might take some time for the new article to be ready.
I would like to know other people's opinions on this—support or oppose—and appreciate any advice on how this should be done. --1ST7 (talk) 00:14, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split discussion 

message: Maybe the article title should be changed to "Tony DiNozzo" instead of "Anthony DiNozzo". He's never really called "Anthony" within the series, except on a few rare occasions, and then only by Ducky. --1ST7 (talk) 01:51, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi again, and thanks for replying. I know about the redirect page, but I thought that perhaps "Anthony DiNozzo" should be the redirect, and "Tony DiNozzo" the title of the actual page. Abby's article uses the name she is known by rather than her full name. --1ST7 (talk) 18:51, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

message: This article was nominated for deletion in August 2023. The nominator said that the character did not seem notable. I disagree but here are some of the sources I found:
*Looper in 2022
*ScreenRant in 2023 
*Transmitting culture transnationally: the characterisation of parents in the police procedural and *Providing the CSI treatment: Criminal justice practitioners and the CSI effect 
I think this may be a case of "The thing that's bothering me is subjective and a matter of opinion [bloat], so I'll find something clear-cut [notability] to complain about." Upon a very cursory look, this article has problems with content bloat and in-universe perspective, and they might be the real reason someone thought it should be deleted.
