message: I did some minor rewrites and clean up.  I'm not too knowledgable about the show so I didn't add or change information, just reworded it for clarity.--68.238.6.126 01:04, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Do we really need the spoiler warning?  What information is being spoiled? -LtNOWIS 00:44, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been watching the series on DVD. Personally I feel, and this is out of the scope of wikipedia, that if there were a spoiler warning it belongs on the extra features at the end of season one because they give away information about the beginning of season two that is not completely obvious. I'm not sure if this is worth adding anything to the article, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents in the spirit of preventing spoilers. --Trakon 20:51, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

"Shorties in Love" looks like a typo to me.  =/ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sysy (talk • contribs) 17:22, April 6, 2005  (UTC)

:Integrating an episode list could be used as a jump-off point to create articles for each episode, summarizing the plot; think of the way that TNG episodes are written up on WP. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 19:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: What many fans also think lead to Dark Angels demise, is Josh Weadon's(creator of buffy the vampire slayer) show Firefly. When Josh Weadon's pilot for firefly was approved by fox, fox decided that they could not afford to make two very expensive sci-fi shows, so because of Josh Weadons success with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, they took a leap of faith and cancelled Dark Angel,in the hopes that Firefly would be as succesful as Buffy the Vampire Slayer series.
If this can be referenced/rephrased, it might go back... --Azertus 15:54, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the following entry about Thula from the list of key characters since she only makes a brief appearance in the end of the series and IMHO the specific character doesn't contribute that much to the story: Jonas Viper 21:22, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Fox has a poll to bring back a show which is no longer airing and Dark Angel is one of the candidates.  DA started off at around 5% but has risen significantly. It is now currently on 17%.....in short, get voting!!! although you have to register first which seems to take ages to load, it will be worth it if we bring this great show back.

message: Is the Possible Influences section actually necessary? If so, the content surely comes under trivia, it doesn't need  section to itself. Spaztic ming 03:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As long as there is no source to the facts it should probably be considered original research, and even then it takes too much space in the article. If a source is provided a short list of titles only would be sufficient with more information either availible from the source or another article. Jonas Viper 04:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm going to remove the entire section per WP:NOR.  Even without that, I agree with BOTH of you that its too long and mostly nonsequitor anyway.  I think we have consensus here. -- ShinmaWa(talk) 01:55, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the following part about Bruno serving in the 2003 invasion of Iraq from the trivia section since there is no source supporting the fact, the invasion hadn't taken place when the episode was made and he would've been twelve or thirteen years old when the invasion occured.

message: I just readded Max's barcode number along with small mention that she actually has a barcode tattoo. The tattoos of the Manticore super-soldiers is recurring in the episodes, even more so than Max's last name. I did notice that the barcodes of many of the super-soldiers were removed, recently. As per the reason for their removal, they fall under a list of FAQ's, but not plot, lyrics, statistics, or news. The problem with the information, as described by wikipedia, is that a FAQ is a list of questions and answers. While not resting on questions, the list of barcodes is a list. If anyone desires to readd the remaining barcodes, they should be written as "neutral prose within the appropriate article." Rather, when a character is introduced in the article who has a barcode, mention they have one and type it out, keeping in mind wikipedia's encyclopedia and neutral prose writing style. See  WP:NOT for more. 
Furthermore, I suggest that the trivia section of the article should be rewritten as prose that is incorporated into the article. 
It also seems that someone has already flagged the article. --Trakon 21:19, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
