message: Right now, it lists the character description "from series start."  I think this should be changed to CURRENT, for example, Jim is now a higher-up than he was before.  As an encyclopedic article, in such a short description phrase, the current position should be used, and a more elaborate paragraph on the history of the character should be saved to their individual character article.

message: I propose we keep the character name to firstname lastname (if known) and exclude all middle names for clarity. I have been reverting this, but probably should have some discussion. --vossman 21:24, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree and have reverted some anonymous edits that had put their previously reverted edits back in place. Both those ip addresses now have the note about the revisions so they know why the edits were reverted. If anyone opposes this please leave a message. Mrtea (talk) 02:29, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

text: I don't think they should be listed, mainly for clarity (as mentioned above) and personally I just think it looks ugly. If this above anonymous user feels so strongly about it, I don't think it's worth the keep effort to keep reverting their edits. Mrtea (talk) 02:57, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Character names should be given as the character is commonly known on the show. Things like middle names and honorifics count as trivia and go onto the biography page. -- Raymondc0 20:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character names -- no middle names 

message: All of the screen shots added by 65.9.242.243 make a nice addition, but unfortunately they're all in the wrong aspect ratio so everyone looks too skinny. They all need to be resized. I thought of reverting all of them, but then figured the distortion wasn't extreme enough for that.
Here's an example of what needs to be done:
The original file is 203 x 277 pixels, which is an aspect ratio of 1 x 1.36.
With that height (203 pixels), its width should be 361 pixels, resulting in a ratio of 1 to 1.78 (which is appropriate for TV widescreen).

message: All the characters that are played by actors that are not writers for the show have been upgraded to full cast. Previously they had been guest stars every week. That means Angela, Meredith, Kevin and a couple others are credited in the opening. The change happened as of "The Booze Cruise". Might want to consider reorganizing, althogh it could be tough. --waffle iron 22:24, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor cast 

message: March 9, 2006, 10:27 PM- Hey I added Mr. Brown to the Corporate employees list, but I don't remember if he actually works for Corporate, if not, change him to the other characters list. If anyone wants to touch it up, go ahead. I'm hoping to update with other characters like Captain Jack.
:I don't think that Mr. Brown should have a space on this page because he only appeared in one episode.  There are numerous people who have appeared in only one episode.
:Mr. Brown was actually in two episodes.  Shouldn't Gil, Oscar's partner, be added to the minor characters?  He's shown up in at least three or four episodes.

message: I'm removing the section on the character "Craig". Check the history if you want to read it. I suppose technically it could be seen as vandalism, but it's also a pretty funny parody of the other character descriptions on this page. --DaveR 03:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Craig appears to be a fairly important part of the show, even if hes only appeared once on the series so far. It tells us a lot about how Michael has been able to get away with his incompetence and unprofessionalism; namely how the Scranton branch stays at number 4 of 5 and no employees get fired (save for Devon). Craig's description does appear to be a bit too long, though I do feel it's an important note to have for the show. It makes Michael's antics appear more realistic without the viewer wondering how he does not suffer any true consequences from Corporate. -- Throw 19:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I understand that NBC says Ryan is a main character, but does that mean Wikipedia has to agree? Ryan didn't say a word in the most recent episode (The Coup). He just appeared silently in the background. Angela, Phyllis, Creed, Stanley, Kevin, Kelly, Jan and Roy all had speaking parts. Ryan didn't.

message: Caps from The Initiation show Jim's nameplate reading "Jim Halpert, Asst. Regional Manager," and he was at the Convention, which was (according to Angela) managers only.
Should we change Jim's job title, or wait & see if it's formally mentioned on the show?
:Well, with the move back to Scranton, his title is now "Number Two", at least that's how he's always been referred to on the show. I haven't noticed a nameplate/business card/dialogue that identifies him as ARM or anything other than '#2'. But everybody seems to believe that he's ARM so I'll go with the flow. -- Raymondc0 01:33, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering Michael and Jim more or less stated that both "Assistant to the Regional manager" and "Assistant Regional Manager" didn't necessarily mean anything when it applied to Dwight, my theory is that, yes, Jim's new title involves the word "Manager" in some fashion. However, it is not necessarily specifically "Assistant Regional Manager". -- Viewdrix 02:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why is it "Characters from The Office" and not "Characters from The Office (US)?" 

message: Why are the cars owned by the characters mentioned? They are not relevant to the plot or character development of the show (except Michael who keeps mentioning his Sebring and perhaps in the one episode in which Pam's new car is mentioned and in the latter case, the make and model of the car are not made relevant). It seems like minutiae. Acsenray 21:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Aside from the Sebring, the characters' cars are not significant. I figured somebody is obsessed with cars and wants to share. So much for "not an indiscriminate collection of information." -- Raymondc0 00:10, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I am going through several articles and changing instances of "Dunder-Mifflin" to "Dunder Mifflin" (no hyphen) as it is the proper "spelling" of the company name (see Talk page at Dunder Mifflin). Just leaving a note to say that I've gone through this page. :) Fieryrogue 20:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is Ryan Howard listed as the Corporate Manager before the Spoiler mark? If the list is supposed to be current, Roy and Jan should be left off the list of employees.

thread_title:  Spoilers? 

message: It seems like some of these characters are so minor that they shouldn't even be on the page. The "characters mentioned in passing" is a good example - another would be characters who have only appeared in one episode, as they aren't really relevant to what the series is about or why it's important. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information - I think that unless a character has had a speaking part in more than one episode, they should not be included here. That would intensely improve the readability of the article, in my opinion. (Besides, how many very minor characters have had more screen time than some of the characters listed here - to name some examples, the Benihana waitresses, [A Benihana Christmas], Gordon the Ben Franklin impersonator [Ben Franklin], Elizabeth the stripper [Ben Franklin], the vodka salesman [Christmas Party], Jim's roommate Mark [E-mail Surveillance]... I could go on.) - Chardish 03:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Billy Merchant had speaking parts in at least The Injury and Casino Night. I think maybe Phyllis' Wedding, too. Or not. -- Viewdrix 22:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I know Billy Merchant was present at Casino Night (Michael makes a joke about "the handicapped"), but I'm pretty sure he didn't say anything. - Chardish 22:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I'd like to nominate Mose for a Minor Character listing -- he doesn't qualify for the above criterion, because he hasn't had a "speaking part" in more than one episode, but then, he may not speak at all. He has appeared in at least two episodes ("The Initiation" and "Money"), and was a pretty memorable presence both times. He is mentioned frequently by Dwight and is, arguably, a more significant and memorable figure than, say, the much-disputed Mr. Brown. writingjen 16:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
