Talk:List of Brothers in Arms characters

message: During my cleanup of each individual character section, I am creating subsections titled "Miscellaneous" that contain various pieces of information about each character.  After the cleanup is completed and sources are found for the content, some of this information should be reincorporated into the text, whereas the rest can be safely deleted as trivial detail.  However, I believe such a decision should be postponed until after cleanup of the article is completed.  -- Black Falcon 23:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So far, the Misc. sections you have put up contain little more than what weapons they use in each game, which is of no importance. We can probably do away with them. --Scottie_theNerd 03:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, so far I've only done the cleanup of the first character on the list.  But I agree with the general principle.  The miscellaneous sections will contain information which does not fit into the main text and should probably be deleted.  I just though it might be prudent to leave them until a general rewrite of all sections is done, at which time they will mostly (or entirely) be deleted with only the most relevant points being incorporated into the text. -- Black Falcon 05:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

text: When removing large sections of text, it is generally a good idea to state why you are doing so in your edit summary. I think that was why Lucasbfr reverted you. I reverted you because your edit replaced formatted (i.e., linked) and (admittedly weakly) sourced content with unformatted and unsoured content (for instance, your edit removed the blue-grey infoboxes and also information about who voices the characters). You are, of course, welcome to trim the article of excess content (and there is a lot of it), but please try to do so with formatted text and keeping in mind that the article should not read as a game guide and should not be written solely from an in-universe perspective. That said, I recognise that the article is currently not in good shape and requires a general rewrite. See, for instance, this article to get an idea of what it should ideally look like.

message: Anyone else think it would be a good idea for this page to make a clear distinction between those characters that are real people(eg Robert Cole) and those that are fictional characters (eg Matt Baker)? I think this becomes even more confusing when you look at the infoboxes and characters are shown as still "living". --93.96.19.132 (talk) 10:30, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The " Death pistol" that Leggett had looked different in Road to Hill 30 than it did in Hell's Highway. It looked like an ordinary pistol.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.82.196.164 (talk) 17:06, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Lewis was in Purple Heart Lane near the end of it. He gave the order as if he was outranking us. He was the same rank as Baker.68.82.196.164 (talk) 20:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

message: This page is a nightmare of grammar and spelling.  Someone with some free time on their hands should probably go through and clean this up.
There also seems to be a LOT of irrelevant information.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.105.214.5 (talk) 13:36, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Where did you people get the dates when the characters die in 1945? I believe that in the upcoming Battle of the Bulge sequel some of them may die, but how can one know now? Zanovich section says he died in 1945 but also says he is living. 201.95.135.71 (talk) 02:04, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I replayed brothers in arms and just wanted to look something up and I have to say I am disgusted with some of the stuff on this page, for example they say that conners dies in 2003, how do you figure?
Also there was something about Dawson jumping on a grenade to save Baker, this does not happen. But my all time favorite is that someone said Zanovich is a captain in War Heroes.
I'm working on a full rewrite. I will try to get as accurate information as possible, and eliminate any fan fiction/dumb trivia. Also I will be organizing like this.
third platoon
third squad
second squad
market garden replacements
real characters
other
Alright so I finished restructuring, this is better now. However a lot of the content needs to be written and actually this page feels a little unecessary as most of the characters don't have much of a story. This could probably be put on one of the games' pages.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sslost (talk • contribs) 06:40, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
