message: Merge them all.  There are dozens of articles about characters from this book (see links from Catch-22).  The effort is admirable but it's really way too many articles.  There might not even be that many articles about LOTR characters.  Phr 02:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That LOTR is not as well documented yet or there aren't enough LOTR characters that warrant an article is no reason to remove Catch-22 articles. These articles are all pretty extensive, the information is accurate and specific on the subject. They really describe the nature of the character and do not tell the same story again. So there is no reason at all to remove them.--62.251.90.73 02:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  too many articles 

message: I'm beginning an effort to merge the majority of Catch-22 character articles to this list. Comments and help are welcome. -- Comandante  {Talk} 18:45, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleaning up Catch-22 

message: From the article:
"Old Aarfy has never paid for it" he often says in reference to prostitutes. He often and openly commits rape, because he says he can tell which girl is "nice and clean" and which isn't.
Are either of these instances of the word 'often' justified? From my memory each of those things happened only once. Olaf Davis | Talk 09:48, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Request for comment on articles for individual television episodes and characters

message: It seems to me that Clevinger is a significant character in the novel, and ought to be listed as such.  Lieutenant Scheisskopf, on the other hand, is amusing but sort of minor.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steambadger (talk • contribs) 23:24, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clevinger 

message: Obviously enough, Lt. Col. Korn is cynical AND sarcastic - not cynical and humorless. quote from the book: "Colonel Korn inquired with sarcastic seriousness, mocking Colonel Cathcart. 'No, sir,'", another one: "Were you describing some mystical experience you've had?" - that's a humorless person? Sarcasm is a kind of irony, irony is a kind of humor. The difference is best shown on two background characters of the novel: while Scheisskopf's humorless, Korn's sacrastic. further reading: "Lt. Colonel Korn, the bemused and sarcastic power behind the throne" from http://www.funtrivia.com/en/subtopics/Catch-22-Part-1--Colonel-Cathcart-263326.html, and http://www.google.pl/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=colonel+korn+sarcastic&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 ... 
btw, only pages that state that Korn's humorless are those directly quoting this article on english wiki...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaxquis (talk • contribs) 12:01, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

message: not sure which you mean here: inline citations to Catch-22 or citations to secondary sources that analyze the characters? – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 10:54, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's a good question. I believe I added the tag as part of a series of copy edits but looking back at it, it does seem most of the information is just descriptions present in the book and not a lot of analysis that would require outside sources so for now i'll remove the tag.
