Talk:Methos

message: "it seems that Methos was born either in ancient Mesopotamia or ancient Egypt in around 3000 BC"
"He kept many journals, almost since the Sumerians invented writing in approximately 3300 BC"
That would mean he was keeping journals for the 300 years prior to his birth.
::it wasn't methos who wrote the journals since 3300 BC. the sumerians invented writing in 3300 bc. methos just write journals afterwards. maybe someone should be more specific with this and maybe change the line a bit. HoneyBee 08:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: can someone provide/add something regarding him appear in the EndGame movie? I don't remember what happen during the movie (i never liked the movie anyway), so maybe someone can add something about methos in the movie. HoneyBee 10:56, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I feel it is ill-fated anyway, and it's better if it's removed from the article. there are already several pics of him in this page. although their fates still questionable too. i uploaded them two years ago when i didn't know any better. if nobody objects, feel free to remove it. thx.

message: I edited some of the grammar in this article. Mostly minor changes that allow the text to flow together better. I did not change any information, but I did flip a few sentences around as the wording was confusing. Selenameeka 20:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Another edit: I changed "Old and Wise" to "His Return". I feel it matches the subject of the remaining paragraphs better. Selenameeka (talk) 20:12, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edits 

message: I changed the title "Alternative" to "Alternate" Methos. Alternative just didn't quite fit and it sounded weird (being as alternative usually dipects a movement and alternate as a word usually is the same as opposite). Selenameeka (talk) 21:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is good.  But i wonder if 'Alternate Universe Methos' would be more descriptive or just too much info? Hooper (talk) 19:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I see what you mean, but "Alternate Universe" is commonly used in many fandoms and might help signify that his "alternate" self isn't part of the "normal" timeline but, part of another universe's timeline. Otherwise, someone might think this alternate Methos is somehow part of this timeline (until they read further, of course!). I think we should change it, for now anyway. If no one objects, I'll do it. Selenameeka (talk) 19:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the article needs a complete rewrite, because we shouldn't describe fictional characters as if they really existed, so if you feel up to it, don't hesitate. Rosenknospe (talk) 13:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Alternate

message: The first paragraph seems a bit assuming. Is there any way we can bring in citations to somehow prove that Methos was a very popular character, or that "[t]he audience liked the perspective of a cynical five-thousand-year-old man, combined with the complexity of the character's dual roles." 
I don't want to dispute the points because I have seen that Methos is a popular character, but is there any official document that states that anywhere? If there isn't anything that directly supports the few sentences I'm talking about, I'm sure we can cut them out of the intro and make it seem less.......fan-ish. Maybe that'll help clean up the article? Selenameeka (talk) 20:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm, I might actually have a citation somewhere, but I have to check my other book, so it will be done tomorrow. I'm definitely sure there's nothing about the "perspective..." etc thingy, though, so I think you can remove it. Rosenknospe (talk) 13:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I couldn't find any cite. So just write it better. Rosenknospe (talk) 09:15, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: First Paragraph

message: * This might be a silly question, but do the Methos Chronicles actually count as Canon? If I'm not mistaken, I think that was the source for his First Death via sandstorm? --William Kayton (talk) 22:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoopsie, I thought you meant the Flash series...I posted a similar question below...sorry. Be more specific since there is more than one thing named "The Methos Chronicles" in the highlander Universe. Selenameeka (talk) 16:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Silly Question 

message: Okay, finally finished the major parts of the article and posted it! Took long enough, I know. I'm still working on Methos' relationship with Joe and Richie. Also, I have a lot of references. Are these done correctly? I can't figure out how to do it any other way...and it doesn't look correct to me. Can someone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks so much! Selenameeka (talk) 15:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, there. I think you need more out-of-universe information, such as character creation and development, public reception, reviews, this kind of things. You can find examples at Palpatine, Khan Noonien Singh or Jack Sparrow, all FAs about fictional characters. Read them and I'm sure you'll find a lots of ideas to improve the article. Happy editing, Rosenknospe (talk) 20:16, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks! I have a book, "Highlander: The Complete Watcher's Guide" that talks a lot about behind the scenes stuff and some (albet a little old) of the public reception on Methos. I've read it multiple times. I'll add some more beef into the article. Thanks again for your help! Selenameeka (talk) 21:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Wahoo!

message: Alright, here is another silly question (in reference to Will's above :D ): Are the short stories in the book "An Evening at Joe's" considered cannon? Has there ever been any discussion on the issue with the producers? If so, could someone give me a link to the information? I can't find anything on it. Also, if it's "undecided", should I state that somewhere? And the same question still applies to the Flash animated series, was there ever an agreement on this?Selenameeka (talk) 15:51, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, here's my take on this one : This is Wikipedia, so what you would have to consider is, is this a good source ? Take the story "Methos Chronicles, Part I", who's the author ? Don Buchanan. Who was he ? Prop master. So he's unlikely to have taken part to the creative process of writing the show. Take "Postcards from Alexa". Authors ? Donna Lettow and Gillian Horvath. Who were they ? Associate creative consultants. Where they involved in the writing of the show ? Oh yes they were. So Postcards would be a better source than Chronicles Part I. Besides, Horvath says in the introduction that the writers were given full freedom to write what they liked, so it is likely that the stories are not totally complying with the guidelines as used on the show. (And I might say, even in Postcards errors happen, I mean, marathon in ancient Greece ? The guy died on arrival ! ;) So, what you would have to do (difficult I know) is, carefully consider if the source is made by people who are likely to know how the show works and in doubt, only use it as back up for things that can be cited from other sources (series etc). The Methos Chronicles anime is perhaps more sound a source from this point of view, as it was produced by Davis-Panzer. I'm aware I skip the canonicity problem, but if canon is uncitable as you mentioned above, then it shouldn't be mentioned, verifiability and all that stuff, you know. So this is my opinion on that matter. Happy editing ! Have a nice day, Rosenknospe (talk) 10:30, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
