message: I know tone has been an issue for a while, so I've trimmed a few of the sections for language and excessive detail. As a new page, it is still a work in progress, so if anyone has any suggested improvements, please discuss them here. Kafziel 17:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

message: How is it notable that Tavon is the only one who goes for the groin during the fight with Shane? TWo things set me off on that:
Either:
1. Someone's masculinity complex was violated or 
2. There is racism built into this page.
There are plenty of skinheads who like to think that everyone but caucasians do not fight normal, and I can see that this line was added with intent to be racist. Even if it was not meant to be racist (in which case it would need to be explained as to why the groin attack was significant and notable), it still shows little bearing on the actual fight and Tavon's character.
I am deleting that line.

message: The actor that plays Roy Phillips, Nigel Gibbs, has a link that goes to Nigel Gibbs' page.  But that's a totally different Nigel Gibbs, right? Should The Shield's Nigel Gibbs get his own page, or should his name simply be de-linked? Karlos the Jackal 00:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: For now, I changed the link to "Nigel Gibbs (actor)".  It's a redlink now, but at least doesn't go to the wrong page. Karlos the Jackal 00:18, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I went ahead and made a page for Monica Rawling. Im pretty new to this and didn't know we had to discuss these things but here's how I see it. The characters of Monica Rawling and Antwon Mitchell were very pivotal and arguably two of the most important characters in season 4. Antwon already has his own page and if anyone disagrees with Monica Rawling having a page then feel free to merge although I don't see the point as every other character that has appeared in the credits as a regular has their own page. Hell even Ronny does and he's arguably one of the characters of least importance until around season 5 or 6. (Budman08 18:35, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Forrest Whitaker's name was never in the opening credit.  He has always been listed as a guest star.  Despite Whitakers lengthly stay and Kavanaugh's importance, according to contracting he is not a main character but instead a "guest star". Geeky Randy (talk) 05:11, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I think this page would be better served by showing the characters introduced by season, but I don't want to do it unless people think it's a good idea.  Mainly because it's time consuming, but also I don't want to do a bunch of work for it to be reverted 5 seconds later.151.166.15.115 (talk) 06:59, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: When it's in alphabetical order, people have an easier time browsing characters — it's also more encyclopedic this way.  Secondly, if everything is done correctly, the characters should have a list of episodes they've appeared it — thus, we also see what season they're introduced.  Lastly, a lot of readers aren't going to remember when a character was first introduced — how many people remember that Billings was introduced in Season 4?… not many — so it'd be more difficult to make use of the article if it was divided by season.Geeky Randy (talk) 21:58, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Where did the appellation "Might" come from regarding the Armenian mob in The Shield? I can't recall them ever being referred to in such a way. I certainly could have missed it, but a source (episode or the like) should be given. Again, having never heard it, I hope it isn't just some excuse to link to the Wikipedia page of the Armenian Power street gang (which the Armenians depicted in The Shield are certainly not).172.190.33.215 (talk) 07:06, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind regarding the source. Vic uses the term twice in the episode "Fire In The Hole". Regardless, the link to a real-life Armenian street gang is dubious at best.172.191.49.12 (talk) 08:48, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
