Bioshock 2 expands the story of Andrew Ryan and the lengths he would go to to protect Rapture, and should be added to this article. It could use some major expansion in this regard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.166.15.115 ( talk) 09:24, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Is it a little too obvious to add in that "Andrew Ryan" is a near-anagram of "Ayn Rand"? (the words were flipped and only three letters were added). Technically, the name Andrew Ryan is an anagram of New Ayn Rand —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.145.79.227 ( talk) 06:48, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone object to the deletion of the redirect Andrew Ryan (economist)? It's an implausable search term, but I don't want to remove it if anyone wants to preserve its edit history. Marasmusine ( talk) 16:58, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
(currently second to last paragraph) "... While discussing potential actors who could portray Ryan in the upcoming BioShock film, IGN editors chose Anthony Hopkins as the perfect choice for the role.[36] -- which goes to show just how little all of them paid attention, so would you kindly ignore this ridiculous paragraph?"
This statement is confusing and does not apparently add to the content. It appears to be a pithy jab at what the writer sees as 'inattention', but it could possibly be a quote which has not been made explicit (somehow). If it's the former, the statement ought to be discarded. If it is the latter, it ought to be made explicit. 128.206.196.34 ( talk) 06:41, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
This is a nice looking article, but I wonder if it could be a lot more. It's currently sourced primarily to video game websites, when there's actually a host of scholarly literature on the game, the world, and, it seems, the character. Has this been sifted through?

Looks like this was nominated in time with BioShock Infinite's release. I didn't have time to review it then, but know that the timing was appreciated. This article has a few straightforward and surmountable issues (which I'll outline below), but I don't know if they can be resolved in the GA timeline. Overall, the article is very dry considering how juicy Levine's interviews were. (That Shacknews interview was one of the best I've ever read.) But per the GA criteria:

Non-GA comments
These suggestions are outside the scope of the GA review, but for your interest:
- The references date formatting is inconsistent
- Ryan's picture contrast is too low—the black fades into the brown and makes him hard to see
- The image caption could be more specific (where/when the screenshot was taken, at what plot point, etc.)
- There are Ryan cosplayer images on Flickr that could work in the article. You'd need permission from Irrational to change the license.
- Consider archiving the web refs (see {{ cite web}} documentation)
- Link jargon like "boss battles" and introduce "Frank Fontaine" at his first mention.
- The B2 ref should be from a RS, not the game itself
Ideally, these issues should have been resolved before being brought to GAN, since they're straightforward when held up to the criteria. I'm putting the GA on hold for a week if anyone wants to address the above concerns. There's no rush, so let me know if you need more time. If it's not going to happen in a short period, the article can always be renominated in the future. czar · · 06:45, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Comment - Just so you know I will NOT be reviewing this article as I'm nowhere near clever enough for that, but looking through the article there appears to be no reference to Burial At Sea: Episode 2. That seems like it could be an issue as Andrew Ryan does feature in that game, even if it is only a brief appearance.-- 1916Walker987 ( talk) 17:25, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Andrew Ryan (BioShock). Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
An editor has determined that the edit contains an error somewhere. Please follow the instructions below and mark the
|checked=
to true
Cheers.— cyberbot II Talk to my owner:Online 23:05, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
A recent edit in the article summary puts Ryan's birthname as Andrei Rianofski. I mentioned in the character history section that he uses the name 'Andrei' in an audio diary in BioShock 2, but I can't find any info in regards to the surname 'Rianofski'. Is there a source for this, or is it just someone's guess based on anglicisation? Progressive reactionary ( talk) 01:15, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
