Someone with decent writing skills ought to rewrite this thing. I deleted some of the worst of it. -- Xyzzyplugh 14:10, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
The Romantic Relationships section is none too good. I'm removing some of the links to women he didn't actually have romantic relationships with. -- Xyzzyplugh 18:36, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
This article should be about Xander as a name, not just about a TV character who has it as a first name. Is the Wikipedia article [Homer] just about Homer Simpson? No, it isnt. This should be remedied. Another article should be made about this TV character. 68.160.164.128 22:26, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
He is obviously named after the founder of the Church of Satan, Anton Szandor LaVey. Does anybody know what Josh Whedon meant by that? I've seen much of Whedon's work but his philosophy puzzles me as much as Iron Maiden's lyrics, but maybe I'm looking for meaning where there is none?
I was actually the one to put him in that category, but I'm thinking it might be too much of a spoiler to do so. I'unno, what do you think?
There's only one (blurry) picture on this page, that's not enough. Can't somebody get the cover to Buffy #2, that's a cool picture of Xander. Also, what about some shots of him as miltary guy from the new comic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.158.46.119 ( talk) 07:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC).
Image:Xandermain.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Why is the picture of Xander Harris uses on the page one where he has an eyepatch? This only serves to spoil the plot of Seventh-Season episodes of Buffy. Couldn't we use a picture of a two-eyed Xander instead? Nedlum ( talk) 08:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
I agree. (But what pictures we're allowed to use always confuses me, so if someone else could do it that would be great.) Perhaps there could be a picture of eyepatch!Xander later on in the article? Its a lie lah ( talk) 06:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm wondering about the accuracy of 1981 as his birth year. There's no citation for this. We know he's at least as old as Buffy because the day after her 17th birthday, he mentions that he is 17 (episode title: Innocence). Since she's born in January 1981, it's really more likely he was born in 1980. At any rate, the year should probably be given as 1980 or 1981.

If we're not going to have Riff Regan or Adam Busch listed for Willow, Eliza listed for Buffy or Sarah for Faith, I think it appropriate to take Kelly Donovan out of the infobox. I'm being bold and doing it. If someone wants it back, please integrate it into the text of the article, rather than the infobox. Jclemens ( talk) 20:26, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Longwaycover03.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

I deleted the "Relationships" to reflect the preeminent Buffy character articles by Wikipedia's standards (crafted by editors much better than I) among them Cordelia Chase, Buffy Summers and Dawn Summers. The section was in clear violation of WP:OR and WP:IU and I stand by this edit. The rest of the article still needs a lot of work. kingdom2 ( talk) 18:31, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Isn't Chaos Bleeds considered canonical? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.253.236.228 ( talk) 17:03, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

In the Season 4 summary of Xander's activities it lists him as a phone sex operator. I do not believe that he ever held such a job. If it is not true it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlyhearts ( talk • contribs) 00:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Nicholas Brendon's experiences after Chosen are relevant to his article, obviously, but I don't see that they're at all relevant here. — Tamfang ( talk) 05:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
I strongly feel the lead image needs to be changed. Xander has an eyepatch for so little amount of time in the series that it's not representative of his common appearance. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 00:21, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
I agree. It's also a spoiler. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.93.72.41 ( talk) 23:52, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
It appears that the thumbnail you see when searching for "Xander Harris", as well as the main photo on mobile, shows the actor Kelly Donovan instead of Nicholas Brendon. Donovan is the twin brother and sometimes stunt double of Brendon. Shouldn't Nicholas Brendon be the main photo? PUNKMINKIS ( CHAT) 20:19, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
