Talk:Omar Little

message: Whoever put "kills several Stanfield enforcers including Savino Bratton".  He shot the one guy in the legs with his shotgun, but let him live.  He did shoot Savino in the head, but there isn't any other reference to him killing other Stanfield people in the show, can someone clarify?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaerulez (talk • contribs) 17:55, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: If you're referring to Season One, the scenery (street signage, license plates) all indicate New York. He returns to Baltimore in Season Two. I just watched the episode on HBO on demand. Can anyone corrorborate? Ellsworth 23:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

But I believe he scolds Brandon for swearing - something about not saying such words from such a beautiful mouth....  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amyracecar007 (talk • contribs) 02:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I was just wondering if it's only a coincidence that Omar's last name is the same as Malcolm X's. --Davecampbell 18:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: An editor at IP address 76.99.9.205 has been edit warring over content on this page. There is a summary of their rationale at their talk page. They are basing their edits on a slang term "hopper" being more appropriate to describe someone who is a low ranking drug dealer. I have provided an explanation about the manual of style and use of formal encyclopaedic tone to try to clarify why this is not appropriate here at wikipedia. Please stop edit warring and follow the policies of the encyclopedia.--Opark 77 (talk) 22:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Amazon.com has exclusive prologues of a couple The Wire characters, including Omar.  What would the right way to go about including this in the article? --206.57.89.239 (talk) 04:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is in the article, here.--Opark 77 (talk) 11:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

text: You can add mention of the source and we should add a citation. We should cite the original source (HBO not amazon or both). Mention of the other prequels is not really relevant to this article IMO.--Opark 77 (talk) 07:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The use of past tense in the lead pretty much gives away that he dies, something which is to be avoided I think. The plot summary would obviously spoil it, but the lead doesn't need to in my opinion. Mind if I change the tense? VanTucky 21:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Its the exact same melody and all but I assumed he was whistling "A-Hunting We Will Go" which I think makes more sense thematically for Omar 68.230.50.168 (talk) 14:35, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

message: "Barack Obama says that Omar is his favorite character on The Wire (which, in turn, is his favorite television show)."
Is this really relevant? Who cares about what Barack Obama thinks about this character? This is more suitable for the Barack Obama article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.202.99.207 (talk) 22:55, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is most of the article - and most notably the introductory paragraph - written in the past tense? This is not a description of the life story of a real person, but of a fictional character. Present tense. BigSteve (talk) 14:14, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Past Tense? 

message: The prequel section currently says Omar's brother "merely suffered a contact wound", which reads as if the wound wasn't serious. Although I have no professional knowledge in the matter I understand contact wounds are very destructive (see here). The gases are pushed into the wound and expand inside the body, sometimes just under the skin, sometimes deep into the wound. The result is more than a projectile ripping through the victim's body, it also adds explosive expansion of gases. I take the dialogue between McNulty and Greggs to mean there was no way a person could survive the injury. The gun used  is said to have been of a large caliber. Greggs hears the story and says "ouch", to which McNulty says "contact wound". Inexplicably Anthony survives, earning his nickname by baffling all sensible explanations. A freak incident on the edge of plausibility, the stuff that legends are made of, if you will.A. Christopher (talk) 12:54, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Omar was shot in the right side of his head.  The morgue employee opening the body bag was standing on Omar's right and would have been able to see the gunshot wound.  No guessing, profiling or racial assumptions need to be made to observe a 9mm hole in the side of someone's head to know Omar was mislabeled.Es330td (talk) 14:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Was Wendell Beard the inspiration for any of The Wire characters? Beard was a Baltimore folk figure during the late 70s and early 80s for both his reputation as a stickup artist and murderer, and also for his headlong escapes from custody; at various times, he leaped out a courthouse window and bailed out of a moving police cruiser while handcuffed.

message: The article states, "Omar Little is Number 2 on Bravo's 100 Greatest TV Characters of All-Time, only behind Tony Soprano." I've added a citation needed tag as I could not find any evidence of this claim. The only Bravo 100 Greatest TV Characters of All-Time list I could find was from a 2004 special and Omar Little did not appear on that list. Tony Soprano was listed 10th.72.21.246.99 (talk) 13:15, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
