replies: text: The episode itself leaves it intentionally ambiguous, he's apparently a hallucination, but the ending with him interacting with Bones, seems to be just left in the air.Pyrotics (talk) 21:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Parker hero in the sand 

message: The mummy's name (spelt Anok) is seen on a sign near the end of the episode "A Night at the Bones Museum" (season 5, episode 5). Obviously, it is not all that important, but this means the spelling in the article is incorrect.

thread_title: Anok the mummy

message: The article suggests that Vincent Nigel-Murray is referred to as "Mr. Nigel-Murray" in a subtle attempt to remind him that he doesn't have a doctorate. I don't think that's accurate, or even provable. Going back even to season one, Zack was referred to as Mr. Addy simply because that's the polite way of referring to him. Fisher is also just called Mr. Fisher for the same reason. It's not an attempt to undermine them, it's simple politeness. They're not going to be called doctors if they're not doctors. In fact, in the first episode Vincent suggests that Booth call him Vinny or Vin, because he recognizes how long and unwieldy his last name is. I'm going to change with in the article in a few days if no one has any pertinent evidence as to why it should remain.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.17.249 (talk) 12:50, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hodgins says this to Vincent on his first day at work, but he specifically says that it's Brennan's way of reminding him that he didn't have a doctorate. (Note that even Brennan tended to call Zack by name; only Goodman regularly referred to him as "Mr. Addy" and he outright told Zack it was to remind him that he didn't have a doctorate.)

thread_title:  Lab assistants 

message: There are now (by my count) 7 lab assistants since Zack Addy (including Daisy Wick and the late Vincent Nigel-Murray).  As of "The Patriot in Purgatory," five appear to be in rotation.  Since this has gone beyond "testing the waters" for Addy's replacement and become a running theme/joke within the show, I have separated out the 7 into their own category.  I simply moved the already-existing character bios under the new category and added a brief description lede.  The intro could use a citation as i have no proof other than memory that the transient nature of the lab assistant was not intended all along.  Also, I ordered them alphabetically to save time but it may be more appropriate to order them chronologically by first appearance instead. Crazytonyi (talk) 06:49, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Dedicated sub-category

message: We don't actually know if Parker has Booth's last name, or that of his mother, Rebecca. Unless someone has a source to cite as to this, I think he should be listed only by his first name. I'll make the change myself in a few days if no citation is forthcoming.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.17.249 (talk) 12:58, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Parker Booth 

message: I recognize that Zoey Deschanel's guest appearance is a big deal but she's only been in one episode and her character hasn't even been mentioned since. I don't think that counts as recurring, does it? (Unless I missed a mention/appearance?) Kutulu (talk) 03:03, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I second this. I moved her to the Others section. --Murata (talk) 16:08, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Margaret "recurring"? 

message: I think he should get his own paragraph under the Recurring section. --Murata (talk) 16:14, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gibbons 

message: It seems really odd that a primary character like Dr. Camille Saroyan has such a brief bio while secondary, recurring characters and characters that just appear in one or two episodes have lengthy explanations of who they are, what cases they were involved in, etc. Can someone "beef" up the information on all of the main characters of this show? 69.125.134.86 (talk) 20:54, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Primary vs. secondary characters 

message: I haven't seen enough of the later seasons to add her myself, but shouldn't Karen Delfs (Sara Rue) be in here?  She was in seven episodes.  Rojomoke (talk) 21:43, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Karen Delfs 

message: Are they really necessary, especially when single-episode characters have the episode title in their paragraph (or at least several do to justify the example made of them)? Fradio71 (talk) 08:19, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Episode codes in front of each name 

message: Why were the names of Palent and McNamara both used for smaller characters in earlier seasons then for larger Roles as different people in later seasons?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.176.230.175 (talk) 18:57, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  names 

message: "only one girl, her double-ex, Roxie knows her real name."  This term  (double-ex) is not found in a quick Internet search.  Should we use nonce (?) words that readers may or may not be able to puzzle out?  I guess it means that the two individuals were were a couple, broke up, were a couple again, and broke up again, but I'm not sure. Kdammers (talk) 17:08, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
