Talk:Wesley Wyndam-Pryce

message: This isn't exactly what happened, as elaborated on further down in the article. It may seem like a small detail but it had significant implications in the show, and also it makes the article internally consistent (and a bit judgmental). Should it be amended somehow to be more accurate? Maybe, "Wesley lies to his friends and kidnaps Connor, which leads to the baby being kidnapped by Angel's sworn enemy, Holtz,..." 220.233.78.52 (talk) 04:25, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Wesley Wyndam-Price doesn't work for me (I tried to add it to Why We Fight (Angel episode)) but Wesley Wyndham-Price redirects here.  What gives?  —Tamfang 06:51, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Does Cordelia Chase really count as a romantic relationship? They were attracted to each other, and then there was that excrutiating kiss, but they were never a couple.

replies: text: The problem is (and this regards all the character articles), the term 'romantic relationships' is very subjective and vulnerable to POV. What does 'romantic' mean? At the moment many character articles seem to be using this section to link pairings that were connected by romantic crushes, lustful feelings, intimate relations, and/or actual coupleage.-- Paxomen 15:45, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  A romantic relationship generally means that you're part of a couple, and you love each other. In Wesley's case, that definitely includes Fred (even if it did only last an episode) and, possibly, Virginia and Lilah. But the 'romantic relationships' section is prone to abuse by militant 'shippers. Terming it 'Love Interests' would make a lot more sense, since then you could include crushes and one night stands. --Stevefarrell 14:31, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  While we're on the subject, I changed the wording on the description of his relationship with Illyria. "Not a real relationship" seemed like a bizarre statement to make; they had a connection. I changed "real" to "romantic." Alpha5099 06:15, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cordelia 

message: (responding to RfC) I can tell that those who have worked on the article, really like the character. :) However, speaking as someone who doesn't watch the show, I have to say that I found the article somewhat confusing.  It currently is very much a "written by fans, for fans" piece, and I'd recommend reworking it so that its targeted towards a general audience, and emphasizes how this character is perceived in non-fan culture.  Specific suggestions: Include more dates to indicate when things happened.  Condense the plot summary section from its current length of 3,500 words, to 500-1000 words.  Find other references than just the Buffy fan magazines.  Has this character ever been mentioned in mainstream press?  If so, list some sources.  Is there an action figure? Novels, comic books? Does the character show up anywhere else than just the show? If so, compare and contrast in the plot summary, how the character is treated in the different media.  If not, this article should be condensed even further, as there's no "cultural impact."  For more info, see WP:FICTION and WP:CRUFT. Checking out how the Star Wars character articles handle it is also a good idea. Good luck, Elonka 06:05, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I modified the "Last Appearance" section of the infobox before I realized that it was deleted earlier. I'm curious what the rationale was for removing it; I left it in for now because other Buffy-related articles at the moment follow the format of both having a character's first and last appearances mentioned, but if the consensus is that the latter information shouldn't be included, then feel free to remove it.

message: I don't see how Wesley has "genius-level intellect." On no occasion has he demonstrated anything that warrant that "power" being attributed to him. So I removed it.The Randomtasker (talk) 00:34, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
