thread_title: It's official

message: Why can't his status just be placed at presumed dead or unknown, like Behrooz?
:Because Curtis's status will be confirmed in a week.  ::mikmt 04:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Dead

message: Unless I missed any note or mention of that in the show, I'd motion for Curtis ever holding this position to "Crystal Ball" worthy. --Deege515, 12 July 2006
Curtis was never a Chief Of Staff to begin with. You're confusing him with Wayne Palmer.
Chief of Staff is also the Number Two position in the CTU hierarchy, held previously by Nina Myers and Michelle Dessler.  According to the facts listed on his template, he played the role of "Chief of Staff, CTU LA."  But such a fact was never mentioned on the show about this concerning Curtis, especially since he's clearly the Field Ops Director, and has never really engaged in any data or information gathering within the show.  Please don't accuse me of confusing two roles on the show because they're both black or something. --Deege515, 31 July 2006
Then who was the Chief Of Staff in CTU during season 5? Neeknitsuj 10:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The last graph is in sore need of some citations, and is clearly not NPOV. I don't really agree with the accessment of Curtis, but if the person can find support, it can stay, otherwise, I'm going to remove the graph. WhoIsWillo 14:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  really dead

thread_title:  Curtis is really dead 

message: You know, it's one thing to prematurely report on the status of Curtis' life without 100% certainty as to whether or not he's dead.  However, it is an entirely different thing to do so without a single bit of regard for the English language.  Someone, please.  For the love of God.  Fix that section so it reads like someone wrote it in the proper language.  Thanks. President David Palmer 11:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The episodes in question got leaked last week along with a 12 minute preview of episode 5 in which Chloe CONFIRMS that Curtis was killed in the shooting.75.84.239.105 22:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Additionally, any edits made using info garnered from episodes downloaded illegally is a copyright violation. (For the record, Chloe confirmed that Ahmed Amar died en route to a hospital, not Curtis.) --Kevin Walter 23:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball, then why is there an article on Darren McCarthy, a character who isn't introduced until the unaired episode five? Double standards, anyone? 81.86.46.234 12:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not double standards. According to David Hunt's entry, this webpage: http://www.zap2it.com/tv/news/zap-24seasonsixpremiere,0,7076978.story?coll=zap-tv-headlines has confirmed his involvement. Faijer 19:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, where on that zap2it article does it say ANY of the stuff in McCarthy's Wikipedia article? All it says is that David Hunt will appear in the show. The Wiki article goes into a little detail about how McCarthy is linked to Fayed's plot -- things that aren't revealled until the unaired episode. I stand by my previous comment about double standards.81.86.46.234 15:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: His Death

message: When was Tony Almeida director of field operations, cause I don't think he was the one who preceeded Curtis. It was either Jack Bauer or Ronnie Lobell. Can someone clarify this. Neeknitsuj 01:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think most people realize that.  However, we still should wait until his death is confirmed when Episode 5 airs before updating his page. ::mikmt 03:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Preceeding Director Of Field Operations 

message: To end all this unneccesary confusion, in one of the articles in TV guide for this week they confirm that, before the end of the fourth hour, Jack is forced to kill a main character in a shoot-out, and as no main characters had been killed before hand, by Jack or anyone for that matter, I think it's safe to assume that this person was Curtis. So I think that should end all the questions around Curtis maybe dying then and there. The only thing I hate about this was that the guide came out a week early and spoiled the "surpise" ending. But if there's a threat of copyright infringement, I'd say just back off until the next episode, or any information that may show up prior that confirms that Curtis is dead, that way we can all relax. Although taking away editing overall may seem extreme, I agree that, until official confirmation this is the right thing to do.

thread_title: Curtis is dead, let's just wait

message: This is just like the time Tony died and everyone was like "WELL MAYBE HE'S NOT REALLY DEAD." Why would Jack be so upset if he only wounded Curtis?--DethFromAbove 06:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Curtis is dead you guys

message: The official fox website has the red "DECEASED" stamp on Curtis' profile. Consider it an official proof that he's dead. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Flautist (talk • contribs) 22:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confirmed Dead 

message: The DVD from which the leaked episodes where leaked from comes out today. It contains the first 12 minutes of episode 5. In it Chloe confirms TWICE that Curtis is dead. I think we can unlock his page and get rid of the unknown crap.
:I agree, am requesting unprotection. Trebor 23:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I still think that it would be best to wait until the episode airs.  However, the fact that his status changed on the official 24 site makes this a moot point. ::mikmt 23:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the combination of the official 24 site and the fact the DVD comes out today means that there's no need to keep it semi'd - it's fairly clear. Trebor 23:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Extra Confirmed

message: The official premier of the episode puts this to rest, Curtis is definitely, undeniably dead. Now we can all finally move past this.
Runner233 07:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: That's it

message: I do see that someone added an extra bit saying that Curtis dies and it got rv'd as "fatal implies he dies."  I don't think that's true.  Being wounded fatally simply means that the injuries will lead to death.  Mason had a fatal dose of radiation, but that didn't mean he was dead from the moment it happened. Bitnine 15:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it because it sounded a bit odd, but I've no problem with a better-phrased version. Would something simple like "Jack shoots Curtis in the neck, killing him" be alright? Trebor 17:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, that sounds fine.  Yeah, the deleted wording did sound a little awkward; using kill or even a phrase like "who dies shortly thereafter" should be fine.  It's just that as written now, it could well be that Curtis is lying on a hospital bed, which isn't the case. Bitnine 17:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I see your point. I've changed it and (I think) it's unambiguous now. Trebor 19:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fatal vs dead 

message: I dislike the way it says Curtis "can't let this animal live" and other quotes. I think it should be changed. Neeknitsuj 08:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
