Talk:List of Terminator (franchise) characters

Old article edit

Onel5969, to expand on my original edit summary, someone had messed with the original article List of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles characters, which had been created in 2008 with a summary of “Created page with 'The following is a list of minor characters in the FOX science fiction television series [[Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronic...'”, by moving it to an article called List of Terminator (franchise) characters. The original Sarah Connor Chronicles characters article had grown to 75 characters associated with the FOX tv Series when, earlier this year, since blocked editor Sudipto Surjo decided to break the 13-year-long meaning of the article by moving it. Other editors soon added write-ups regarding 18 characters (plus a few simple links to main articles of others), and the actors portraying them, to the article. This was not the place for those items, and were made worse by the ones which were characters in both the movies and the series, but were only written from the series POV. The work those editors performed did not need to be wasted, but simply reverting the move that the blocked editor performed would have required nixing that work, so created this article and moved the applicable items here. Thus, this “new” article is not new, but simply a parse out of the mixed up mess that Sudipto Surjo instigated. Redirects here, for the 18 characters, have been created.

Hi Jmg38 - I have no opposition to creating the list, it just needs to be sourced better, so as not to be original research. Once it has enough sourcing to meet WP:VERIFY, then by all means move it back to mainspace. Onel5969 TT me 15:21, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hey, Onel5969, absolutely correct. I definitely should have noticed that the post Sudipto Surjo additions did not have references! Jmg38 (talk) 15:24, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
