Who is David?
"Molly Tilden (Danielle Harris) – Ty Tilden's promiscuous daughter, who flirted with David."
This is not a satisfactory description of ANY character. I'm pointing specifically at the David part. With two main characters called David I'm left to wonder which David. This is made more difficult by their respective articles as it would seem one goes by the name D.J. and the other is speculated to have a completely different character. As the TV show ended in '97 it would not seem so outrageous to assume that the readers might not have seen this TV show in a decade or 3 and may not remember the series with perfect clarity. So with all these things considered it might be worth explaining it further or removing the part about David.
This is an encyclopedia. It should be treated as such and it's readers as blank slates to the topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.180.213.161 (talk) 13:17, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
Formatting Questions
Upon looking at other TV Shows character pages, it seems like it is sufficient enough to leave out the Main characters. Most of the main characters on this page have its own article.
Also I find the summaries to contain way too many spoilers. --JennicaTalk 07:59, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Jennica, I don't edit this article, but as someone familiar with TV articles, I don't see a problem with the character descriptions as they are. They're relatively brief and deliver an overview of the characters, which is what a good summary should do. Note List of Millennium characters, a featured list article, where we learn a recurring character winds up murdered. Spoilers aren't typically one of our considerations, since Wikipedia doesn't suppress or warn for spoilers, and a detailed character summary is a reasonable place for someone to expect to find spoilers (as opposed to the lead, for instance). Also, we're talking about a series that went off the air almost 20 years ago. Hope that helps. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 08:46, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
