message: Perhaps the large list of characters could be put into a seperate article about Fables Characters, ala List of characters in 100 Bullets? IF there's no objections, I think I'll go ahead and do this. Elijya 20:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am in favor, Besides the list can become larger, and the names will link there instead. --Guille2015 20:46, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I have edited the paragraph about who'd reportedly take over Willingham as the original comment was in extremely poor taste as reported. The link goes to a forum thread where Willingham jokes he'd only leave the title if he died. We can only report that in case Willingham can't continue the story he's mentioned who'd continue writing it. I've adjusted the wording to reflect this but I'd even go as far as removing the reference (which points to a jokingly-worded forum post). (sorry, forgot to sign) eduo 10:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Willingham's forum posts are completely legitimate references for Fables; he has often used the forum to communicate things with his fans (ie, the issue 59 contents) before they have been put up anywhere else. Furthermore, he has repeatedly said that Buckingham will be taking over if he can't finish the series. The essential fact is that the original wording was correct, but I can see how you might think that Willingham dying in media series is a low-probability event.

thread_title:  "If Willingham dies or is otherwise unable to finish the story" reworded... 

message: There are countless mentions and allusions to other works of fiction other than fables themselves. A large one is obviously the references to Lord of the Flies while a lesser known one being that a comic Flycatcher is reading, 'Red Hood', has a cover near identical to the cover of the 10th Anniversary edition of The Dark Knight Returns. Don't know why, but these things seemed to be nagging me. ---- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.106.221.56 (talk) 18:21, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Adversary anti-spoiler rewrite

message: Been looking at this page - Fables by source - with a degree of cynicism.  I don't see the point of it, to be honest - the existing character write-ups provide full source information, where known, so a page that purely lists the characters by where they come from seems distinctly redundant.   The layout's bad as well, with links in the headers, which violates Wikipedia policy, and, more often than not, the individual sections only contain one or two names, in some cases making the headers longer than the sections that they label.   All looks decidedly strange.
I don't particularly wish to annoy Duggy, page creator and pretty much sole contributor, by nominating it for deletion without discussion, but he's ignored my comments on the discussion page there and the addition of a Cleanup tag, so I thought I'd open it up out here.   The page, as it stands, looks awful and contains no information that doesn't exist elsewhere.  So, what should be done with it?   Can it be modified to be both useful and not look terrible.   Or is it best to simply delete it?   --Tailkinker 21:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fables By Source

message: Shouldn't we take the line about this not being a sandman spinoff out of the introductory paragraph?  Even if that is a common misconception, it does not seem to be one of the first things a person would need to know about Fables.  It is not part of the fundamental definition of what Fables is.  I think it could go somewhere later in the article.
:Agree. Unless it was a popularly held misconception (and there is not even a source on the current one) it doesn't really need to be mentioned at all. Reference it and you could possibly add it in elsewhere but for now I say it can go. (Emperor 20:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Isn't King Cole the mayor as the series begins? The article presently suggests Prince Charming; but a preview I saw suggested he has just returned to town while Snow White was working with King Cole to run the show. —Duae Quartunciae (talk · cont) 14:56, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

message: This paragraph in the article needs to be updated.  The referenced article and other sites discuss The Wolf Among Us purely in terms of an episodic video adventure game.  So far as I can tell it's not a new series in the Fables canon.Penelope Gordon (talk) 06:53, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
