Talk:Jim Raynor

message: The perfect vehicle for a relatively young ruffian.
I don't know if it's correct to call Jim Raynor "fundamentally good".  In the raid on the Jacobs Installation, he and his troops will, if given any opportunity by the player, slaughter the unarmed civilians who are evacuating the station.  Perhaps we can assume that's an oversight by the mapper?

message: Perhaps I'm remembering wrong, but I believe I remember Raynor saying Liddy "wasted away" following the death of their son, in the first Starcraft book Liberty's Crusade. Currently the article says "What happened to Liddy is not known, but it is hinted at the end of StarCraft that the rest of Raynor's family were killed by the Zerg." I can't confirm this right at the moment, but I will be able to soon, so I will correct this sentence later if it turns out that my memory is correct. 128.95.2.234 19:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The way that the first paragraph in the trivia section is worded, it sounds like the link to Infested Kerrigan saying "Help me Jim Raynor, you're my only hope" is a recent thing, related to the announcement of StarCraft II.  I think there needs to be some sort of clarification that this link has been around for over a year before the announcement of SCII. Nimelennar 20:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

message: All of you people wondering why Clawed One and myself were redirecting articles to their prospective species can now see why. We've been working on the redirected articles in draft userspaces to implement out-of-universe styles and provide a more full fictional character article, generally based on structures of articles provided (or worked on) by Deckiller (considering he's the one rewriting the WP:FICTION policy, it's useful to try to get it to satisfy present and potential future policies on the matter). The Raynor article is the first to reach some sense of completion, there's not much more we can do in userspaces (and besides, having bots spam your talk page every five minutes over orphaned images is not fun). Please note, most characters will not be getting a main article back because under WP:FICTION the information isn't available to warrant one. These characters will be combined in a "Characters of StarCraft" overview page, which will address each one from an out-of-universe perspective and give general details on development, reception and merchandise of the characters. Characters with main articles will have that  template in their section on the overview page linking to the relevant main articles -- Sabre 16:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Should it be mentioned that Jim Raynor is now an alcoholic in SC2 and seems to have a previous affiliation with Tycus Findley or should it wait till SC2 is finally put out?  Sources of this information was revealed from BlizCon and videos of the story mode featuring Jim can be seen on http://www.gametrailers.com/game/4868.html

thread_title:  SC2 Jim Raynor 

message: A good article, in my opinion. My suggestion would be to apply for good article status. We need more good articles on video game characters, and with some effort, this article can become featured. Some comments are below. The article I base my suggestions for improvement or addition on is Batman.
*The infobox could use more non-StarCraft specific information. See the superhero infobox used in Batman. The creator(s)/writer(s) of the character, publisher information, date of the first appearance etc. Some more detail there. 
*The lead contains some StarCraft specific information (e.g. age) that may not be true for the second game.
*The lead is too short - summarize the rest of the article per WP:LS.
*The prose needs copy-editing for weasel words, in universe style, and general errors.
*If this is all there is to the critical reception of this character, remove the template.
*Remove the white border around the easy rider image.
*Though primarily a game character, the role of the character in the novelizations of the game could be elaborated upon.
*In citing the website "StarCraft Legacy", make it clear that the actual scene is cited, not the website. StarCraft Legacy on its own is not a reliable source. Instead of:
:*"
:*StarCraft Episode V, mission 5a: Emperor's Fall (Ground Zero). Blizzard Entertainment. Transcript.
:The latter is based on  - with the huge number of links, one might consider adding the functionality of citing a specific part of a video game, and adding transcripts, to .
Rated B-class, Low importance. I have decided to place this article on my watchlist for a few, and therefore can be reached for further comments here.
