Wilfred[edit]

I'm creating a draft for a standalone article about Wilfred the dog at User:Boycool42/Wilfred (character). Feel free to contribute. :) --Boycool (talk) 02:47, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like good work. I know it's just a draft at the moment, but I'd caution that it currently dwells too much on the creation of the original series rather than just the creation of the character. Also, I haven't been involved with many television articles, but is it normal to have a detailed article on one character like this? I see how it would perhaps work better than a "list of characters" article, especially since it can serve both the Australian and US versions, but I worry that it will end up being merged into one or other of the main articles.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 07:04, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, many shows have articles for main characters (and some even for non-notable characters). As long as there is enough sourced content, you can really create an article about anything. --Boycool (talk) 15:50, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What could I change, specifically, to make it dwell less on the creation of the original series? --Boycool (talk) 21:13, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the information regarding the pitching of the show is included, which is irrelevant to the Wilfred character. I do greatly appreciate the picture of the labrador juxtaposed with Russell Crowe. --Yeti Hunter (talk) 10:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is the current revision any better? --Boycool (talk) 16:18, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notes[edit]

Hi

I just did a little editing. Special guest stars implies something that is not really supported.

The "dick" reference was also a little off, as dick is not really something that can be easily explained. The only solution is to have a note^[nb-1] with an explanation of "dickhead" and a wiktionary link. Chaosdruid (talk) 11:44, 21 July 2011 (UTC) I'd recommend one hell of a lot more editing! This reads like someone from Australia wrote what they figured a US audience would like to read, and it goes right down to the formatting! 75.17.209.146 (talk) 18:20, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recurring[edit]

Eric Stoltz as a neighbor in episode 10.

Cast photo[edit]

I realize the issue is usually with free cast photos, but it strikes me as odd that the only cast photo isn't of either of the main characters. Perhaps it would be better to have no photos at all than to have just he one of Fiona Gubelmann.

Given the presence Jason Gann on the cover of the Australian version on that page, perhaps that image can be used here, too. Mingmingla (talk) 19:14, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
