This article fails to give information about which science Walter Bishop is educated in. I remember him being a biochemist and his work on the series mostly consists of genetics,chemistry, biology etc. but he also invented a portal machine to travel between parallel universes, which suggests he must be some kind of quantum physicist. Which is true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.102.190.194 ( talk) 12:02, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Currently, the article says that Walter "has a relative named Robert Bishop that died young on December 11, 1944, for reasons that have yet to be mentioned."
Robert Bishop sounds like Walter's father, who migrated to US in 1943 (all being said by Walter in S02E14 00:18). If Robert has died in 1944-12-11, as written above, his son could not have been born in 1946 (which would be at least 13 months later), unless some fringe science was in use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.6.227.39 ( talk) 22:36, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
The German word for bishop is "Bischof", and pronounced just like in the series, so that was probably the Bishop family name in Germany (alternative spelling Bischoff exists, though). "Bishoff" as in the article seems to be wrong. 79.210.84.212 ( talk) 23:08, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Walter Bishop is also the name of a character in the TV series Moonlighting_(TV_series) -- I assume it's a deliberate cultural reference, but I can't find a reference to justify it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.3.233.9 ( talk) 21:36, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Here's an edited version of the info.
The result of the move request was: No consensus. Even discounting the !vote that gave no rationale, there's no consensus for this move after more than two weeks and a relisting. Cúchullain t/ c 14:16, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
– Walter Bishop, the fictional character from the television show Fringe, is the primary topic for the name Walter Bishop, getting the most views in the last 90 days (I can't add the link, for some reason it removes all of this text. Check it out for yourselve, please :o). The other two Walter Bishops, Walter Bishop Jr. and Walter Bishop Sr. are not primary topic, getting much less views than the fictional character. Besides, the other two Walter Bishop's do not go simply by "Walter Bishop", instead, they go by their name + a suffix at the end, while the fictional character does not have a suffix. Therefore, Walter Bishop the fictional character should be at "Walter Bishop" and a hatnote can solve any confusion. ✉cookiemonster✉ 𝚨755𝛀 20:31, 19 July 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.
