Question...

...is Battle of Miami Beach in-universe fiction? If so, I strongly suggest you explain so in the articel itself, as I tagged it as a hoax! 68.39.174.238 05:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• I have deleted it as a hoax. I noticed that you recreated this article already deleted by WP:PROD. Please explain what is going on. If it is a fictional battle it should be made obvious from the beginning of the article. I could restore the article but explain what is going on Alex Bakharev 05:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

MI6 / SAS

You are sure Mason was also MI6? I remember SAS only. In The Rock (film). Debresser (talk) 21:32, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Taken

AFAIK, Mills is deliberately vague about his job at the CIA beyond calling himself a "preventer". Saying he was in the Special Activities Division would constitute WP:Original research. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:25, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Did you bother to read WP:Original research? It's a good guess, but in the end, that's all it is. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:52, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Religious categories

Please see WP:BLPCAT and read category description pages before adding religious categories to pages. "Categories regarding religious beliefs or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources."
