message: In episode 82 and 85 Caboose and Tucker tease Church about snaking a lot, curiusly, Burnie Burns (voice of Chruch) has been accused of doing the same, dosent that count as trivia?[]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.211.157.123 (talk • contribs) 
:Well, it's not only trivia (which should actually be avoid), it's also original research, because there's no firm evidence that Rooster Teeth meant to make that parallel, or that a reliable source noticed it. — TKD::Talk 03:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Here's why I don't think the list of appearances as a ghost is useful:
*Some of the appearances are trivial and brief — for example, the latest one.
*Where it's important to the plot, it's already mentioned elsewhere, so as to give context. If you can cite a source that the appearance is significant for production reasons, mention it in the Filming section.
*Thus, items on a separate list is either trivial or redundant.
*To list these appearances separately is to imply that they are more important than the times in which he appears in armor, which isn't necessarily true. It's not a causal relationship.
I'm removing the section again; let's discuss this further before adding a list that seems to have limited benefit and exaggerates the notability of some appearances. — TKD::Talk 11:19, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Good article nomination, maybe 

message: Hi folks, I read over your article this morning, and I'm passing it for GA status.  Here's the basic summary of what I looked at:
# The article was well written.
# It is factually accurate and verifiable (nice job with sources).
# It is broad in its coverage (covers briefly who Church is, what the show is, behind the scenes dev., interractions with other characters, etc.)
# It follows the neutral point of view policy. (Article was dry - in a good way - and had no personally invested tone)
# Article seems stable, and has many edits from many different parties, which is good.
# Article contains appropriate images.
As far as future improvements: the article was generally well-written, as I mentioned.  The ending seemed abrupt, though, as a person reads through for the first time.  It might be helpful to re-organize some of the ending content and have some kind of a summarizing sentence/paragraph at the end so that the reader has a sense of finality as they come to it.  Not a huge deal at all, though.
Nice job, and congratulations.  Have a great day!  Nswinton 16:42, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I think we should add some Trivia for some of the character. Or at least on the Season page. I have one that points out in both Episode 8 "Don't Ph34r the Reaper" and in Episode 43 "Make Your Time" Church's last words before being blown up were, "Oh son of a...". --Mr. S.C.

replies: text: Intelligence is superfluous.  Already established that he plays the straight man, and by your own admission he "seems" it, thus constituting original research if we expand on it.  Bad aim was debated before, but removed on the grounds that it is largely trivial in the face of other information.  Dac (talk) 11:45, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Church was for the bulk of the series, as he was the character that was grounded in reality and focused on his tasks.  Granted, he was incessantly angry but that trait wasn't as exaggerated as the other characters.  Later Washington took over the role, but Church was still the de facto straight man during the Blood Gulch Chronicles.  Dac (talk) 04:09, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
