replies: text:  This point is important, and should be in the article lead. I have a friend who has vision problems, so sometimes misses content on TV. She had to ask me to find out why the program was called The Closer, so it is not at all obvious. The official website states, "Brenda often closes her cases by eliciting a confession or cornering a suspect through sometimes-questionable methods." so that could be used.

replies: text: Your friend can't hear either?  Anyways, it's obvious the show is a crime drama, so naturally the title 'The Closer' refers to closing cases.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darktangent (talk • contribs) 00:24, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Closer? 

message: Why does the International broadcasters table appear at the bottom of the page and not inside the corresponding section of the article? I just checked with Opera, Firefox, IE and Safari, and non of them show the table where it's supposed to be. Does anybody know how to fix this? --Salocin 14:55, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My guess is that the source code for this page is good, but that something's messed up with the template used to create the table... But I'm not good enough in Wikipedia's markup language to find, let alone fix an error like this :/ --Salocin 22:47, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Layout mess 

message: Someone has created a page for Salvitore "Sal" Provenza, linked Lt. Provenza.  To date, Provenza has no first name (see the TNT characters page to verify).  It's obvious this was made up, because the person didn't spell Salvatore correctly.  The best evidence Provenza has no name was in "Grave Doubts" when his card was shown on camera: we saw clearly there was NO first name.  In addition, Provenza does not use his first name on the tape in "Homewrecker" although all the others do.  Duff's game has been to slowly reveal characters' first names.  We just learned Commander Taylor's in 3.13, and didn't know Tao's until the beginning of Season Two.
To deal with this, I've moved all the content from the Sal Provenza page to a new one listing him as (No First Name) Provenza, and linking it back to the show page.  It may look odd, but at least it's accurate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drmargi (talk • contribs) 23:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I recently reverted two edits adding Provenza's first name.  "Sal" is a nonsense that lives on these pages alone - someone probably pulled it out of his/her hat.  "George" is the fictional name Provenza used while undercover; it was acknowledged in dialog in the episode "Dial M for Provenza."  Later in the episode, Provenza was asked his first name and he refused to divulge it, saying it was "Lieutenant".  Drmargi (talk) 17:31, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Provenza's first name 

message: My husband and I have just watched the first season of Prime Suspect - and the show seems to have been the inspiration for the Closer! Jane Tennyson gets to take over a case but the people she works with are very suspiciout of her, in particular there is one man who is constantly out to prove she is incompetent and should be fired. She is brusque and quirky and her people skills are a bit off. There is even a scene where the guys have come around and leave a letter for the administration saying they are loyal with her and will not accept her getting fired (just like in the Closer) - any comments?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.20.228.61 (talk) 06:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Perhaps I'm missing the point, but the opening section reads more like a press release than an article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paradise Pete (talk • contribs) 19:27, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
