message: ref 120 and ref 121 are dead. Can someone lend a hand. GlatorNator (talk) 04:28, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed. Since the references were archived, now that the original URL is dead I've switched to the archived version by default, by changing the 'url-status' parameter to 'dead', as is customary. Damien Linnane (talk) 05:45, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

text: I found an archive of the source: - However, it's using an SFN reference template. I can try switching it to citeweb unless someone is opposed. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  12:13, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not fussed either way, but I cant see anything wrong with just putting the archived version in the current citation, so I've done that in the meantime. :) Damien Linnane (talk) 01:46, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  dead citation 

message: Jill Valentine should be referred to throughout the article as "Jill", not "Valentine" (and similarly for other characters — "Chris", not "Redfield"). I understand it's polite convention to refer to people by their last names, but this is not typically afforded to fictional characters. Per MOS:LASTNAME:
The common shortened name for Jill Valentine is "Jill". That's how she's consistently referred to in the games, films and related media. So the article should reflect that. — Kawnhr (talk) 03:26, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

text: "Jill" appears to be the most used name in sources, so I support using that. Popcornfud (talk) 09:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

text: I definitely don't oppose the change, but I don't have strong feelings about it either. She probably is referred to as Jill more often, but she is at least more recognisable as by her surname than other RE characters (I.e. Sheva Alomar) so I never considered referring to her by her last name to be an issue. This change will make it consistent with the other RE characters though.

replies: text: Thank you for the response. It would be ideal to have consistency with all the articles on the Resident Evil characters so that works for me. Aoba47 (talk) 14:44, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

text: Yes, consistency was the main reason I went and made the change. I've been touching up some of the other character pages, where they are always referred to by their given names, and saw this was out-of-step. — Kawnhr (talk) 16:15, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That is understandable. I have reverted my revert as there is a consensus forming to use the first name rather than the last names. Thank you for your patience with this discussion. Aoba47 (talk) 17:00, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No worries, happy to see an easy resolution. I admit I could have said more in my edit summary. — Kawnhr (talk) 19:46, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, and you are all good. I am always happy when a resolution is reached. Aoba47 (talk) 19:47, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
