I question this claim. He is arguably the main human antagonist in the original game, but you never actually fight him. Then he isn't in Part 2 or 3 at all. He shows up in Code Veronica but the "main antagonist" label doesn't exactly fit that game either. I don't know much about Part 0 but I know he's basically a "bonus" character in Part 4. I am editing this, please discuss before reverting. -- Feitclub 06:23, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
Despite the fact that there is difficulty in titling Wesker as the principal villain within the individual scenarios of each games, I believe that he does fulfill the role as the main antagonist. I think the problem with labelling Wesker with this title is that he is not given the status of most archetypal villains (he has been killed and defeated by all of the primary heroes have knowledge of who he is.) Either way, his feud with Chris Redfield (arguably the series primary hero as he is the character that most fans associate with the series) seems to demonstrate his importance as a villain. -- Jack of Blades
Wesker is not the main antagonist... Ozwell E. Spencer is. Sure, we've never even seen, heard, or have been humanly told about him, but we've read about him and it is no doubt that it was he that started Umbrella, the experiments, the mansion incidents, and everything after. Wesker is just a lackey who thinks he can stray from the pack. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.70.139 ( talk) 23:50, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
You're all wrong, I think Umbrella as a whole are the antogonists.
Umbrella goes bankrupt and Wesker is still being evil in RE4 and he is trying to revive umbrella, so Umbrella's finished, almost everyone except Spencer is dead, and Spencer is hiding from the police, and Wesker is the only character to have a role in every resident evil, even if he was working in the shadows, and in Umbrella chronicles he technically is the principal character, because he is the one telling everything that had a connection with umbrella's end and you get to play as him. So he really is the main antagonist until we know Spencer's role in future games, its like thinking Darth Vader is the main antagonist in Star Wars then they show you Palpatines powers and role, so wait until RE5. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.176.95.55 ( talk) 12:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
In the article it mentions that Wesker recieved a fake sample from Ada (as well as other claims). Can someone back this up with evidence?
I was doing ok with copyediting till I got to this paragraph:
Wesker bunkered down in a small secure monitoring room, safe from roaming monsters and from his former team. Here, he began leading the others to traps. When the opportunity presented itself, he gained Barry's cooperation by blackmailing him with threats against his family. Wesker was also responsible for the death of Bravo Team's leader, Enrico Marini, after finding the truth, using Barry to get to him. However, Jill and Chris eventually learned the truth about Wesker and proceeded to destroy the Tyrant, along with the underground laboratory. The two, along with Barry and surviving Bravo Team member Rebecca, escaped the mansion in a helicopter piloted by a guilt-stricken Brad Vickers, and left Wesker for dead after he was killed by Tyrant, which he had himself awakened.
Then my eyes started bleeding because it is so ambiguous and parts do not make sense and ...well. Someone else please help this paragraph because I suspect the ambiguity is due to actual plot info that I don't know about, not being a RE fan and I don't want to change the meaning of anything. -- Naha| (talk) 20:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
It could used a bit of clearing up. I'll get right to it.

I don't plan on putting this in the wiki although I had thought about it...but its just speculation more than anything so not for now. I was wondering, does anyone else feel like Wesker is the pseudo main character of the entire Resident Evil series? He may not be the hero, but he's technically been in almost every single RE or at least by far the highest amount...and if he's not there physically he at least has an intangible presense usually.
RE0=He's with Birkin, and Bravo Team's dillemna is of course his doing. RE=We all know his part here RE2=He may not have been there in game, but canon wise he was along with Ada for the whole thing...working within the shadows. RE3=He wasn't really there so this is a bit of a stretch, but since he was present in RE2 he must of been looming around the city at least a little, and didn't Nicholai have some connection with him? (Or was he just Umbrella's dog, which would make him a rival of Wesker) RE: Code Veronica=Major role in the plot RE4=Secretly fighting the battle behind the scenes, and playable in Mercenaries.
While his appearance is something, what makes me think of him as the main character in a way is his influence in the series. Even in games that have nothing to do with him such as Outbreak and Gun Survivor Wesker is at least mentioned once...or at least his doings. Also if you think about it...in a way RE is Wesker's story, thats my biggest thought. From the first game to the most recent 4, everything is a step in Wesker's plan or his general escapades. In 0 it was all about getting the Tyrant and using it against Umbrella (for his own purposes of course). From 2 to Veronica..all the events of each game are a backdrop to the real conclusion...Wesker obtaining what he wanted. Even in 4, perhaps more than any other game, the story seems to twist around Wesker's fingers. The cult and everything was used by Wesker (using Ada) so he could obtain what he wanted. The overall motion of the story now is what Wesker is up to.
I'm sorry if this is a bit wordy, but I was wondering if anyone else shared this sentiment?-- Kiyosuki 01:51, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Hmm.. A thought occurs to me. Where Umbrella has at the very least been woefully incompotent, negelgant, or whatever else you'd call it. (Namely how close to a population center they dropped a chemical weapons lab, and how poorly they prepared for what looked like a likely scenario) But Wesker has always been cool, calm, compotent and from the looks of things he's yet to fail due to a perosnal error. Frankly, i'd rather not let him be in charge of Umbrella, the Corporation, or anything else.. He'd be far too good at it. Bluegrime 07:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC) Bluegrime
This section needs badly rewritten - most of it is incorrect. Birkin and Wesker didn't work on the T-virus while Marcus worked on his - they only started working on the T virus at Arklay AFTER Marcus was killed and they stole his research, ie they continued it. Parjay 22:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
It states that the picture in Wesker’s stats screen “after succesfully using him in merc mode” is him back in the days when he worked with Birkin in the lab. I presume the editor is talking about the picture after completing a mercenary level where it displays your ranking and such, but I don’t see anything that suggests it was Wesker in his lab days, as he’s wearing the same outfit he is in Resident Evil 4, and I don’t see anything else suggesting that. Is there another picture I’m unaware of or should this be fixed? T.K.R. 10:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay... Why is my part about Wesker appearing as a zombie, in the Sega Saturn version of the original Resident Evil, need to be cited? There is a link there to prove it and two pictures of him as the zombie. - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 23:22, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Okay. What about the two pictures I had provided? I mean, it took me forever to find them... and yes, they are on my on webpage account. Because I wanted to re-size them for others to view at a larger size. - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 23:28, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Wesker is the only villain who managed to survive the Umbrella Corp. period of the Resident Evil series. (Another villain who potentially survived is Spencer but this scenario is not yet confirmed.)
What about Nicholai? Been a while since I played RE3, but close to the end I remember a scene where he was in a helicopter and you had a choice to either fight him or talk with him, and, IIRC, the 'talk with him' option ended with him living through the game. And in Survivor you can find files written by him after the incident. So I'm going to add him in with the remark about Spencer for now, unless someone says something otherwise. Ynos 18:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
In the main ending/good ending for Nemesis he is either ripped in half by Nemesis or he is killed by you.If he escapes you got the bad ending.
Whereas previously he seemed to function as an undercover policeman, his role within the Resident Evil world now seems more akin to that of an experienced spy, or even super villain.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he a top researcher at the Arklay Mountain lab? Calling him an "undercover policeman" makes it sound like he was a mere grunt in the first game.-- Foot Dragoon 01:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
True, get rid of it. -- Jack of Blades 16:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I have added new information reguarding the speculations and information that other Resident Evil fans have provided on forums about Albert Wesker and his involvment in Resident Evil, etc. I feel that this section can be used as a way to express one's opinions and thoughts about Albert Wesker and what is in store for him. However, the only rule is to have some kind of reference to back up their claims or thoughts, online or offline. That is if they want to keep their post up, or present and write it in a manner that is feasible. :) - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 21:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Then "In other Media" shouldn't be a section. Because whether it's rumor or not, or if it can be linked or not... It's still genuine media. - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 22:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I understand what you are stating, but not everything can be linked back because sometimes the internet doesn't provide it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a reference to go with it. It just means it's offline, and besides. I am not the only one on here that edits and writes about information or speculations without a link to go with it. However, I'll do what I can to provide whatever I can for the "In other media" section. But for the most part, a lot of it can only be viewed offline. Such as the Resident Evil Archives book. -
*.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 22:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I did. Most of it came from the Resident Evil Archives book, by Bradly Games, and there is no other way to view these facts or the content of the book. Because there isn't a source online that would provide it. However, I appreciate your help and advise. :) - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 22:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Ah, alright. I'll see what I can do to prove some of the contents that are in the Archives book. As for the other information, I know I have seen them on other sites. But my room mate was the one that found them. Anyways, give me some time to find them in order to prove these theories to be facts or apart of a decent media. :P
*.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 22:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually, not all of them was fan speculations. There are two parts of it that happen to be true. One: The fact that Peter O'Meara will be playing the part of Albert Wesker in Extinction has been verified. (and writen by another user). Two: There are sources that state that Wesker will be in Resident Evil 5 and that he will not be the main antagious. For this resource that Wesker will be in 5, and the other parts, (except about the movie) I will leave out until I can find the reasources for them either online or offline. -

By "Gamehead" on Spike Tv. Which you can find the videos of the show on http//www.youtube.com . They were the first video game show that was on the set of Extinction. Plus, there is another site that has verified this. I can't think of it now, but I'll go get the site. -

I don't want to see it, I want to cite it. What episode of the show? When did it air? - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 23:35, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Try typing in the YouTube search "Resident Evil Gamehead Part 2" , and don't worry about citing. I have already did that for you. :) -
*.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 23:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
A random Youtube video is not a reliable source. I want to cite this to a reliable source, so that someone who wants to verify this claim can do so in a source that is reliable (unlike a site where anyone can upload anything). If it can't be cited, it's not going in. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 23:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
lol.. You got to be kidding me? The director of the film himself, states that Wesker will be in the next Resident Evil movie, in the video of Gamehead. -
*.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 23:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Dude, I have given you two solid links that proves that Wesker will be appearing in the next Resident Evil movie, and that Peter O'Meara will be playing the part. But you keep on insisting that it isn't a faction because they aren't feasible references by your own standards. I don't know why you don't think the video is evential enough to be proof, and the site that I had provided, which is a timeline of the actor's career, and what movies, TV. shows he's taken part in? You can look this up in any search engine, and it'll state the same thing. - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 00:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
"You may want to read
WP:V, and do keep going past the title." - A Man In Black
-.- What's with the insults? Did I lower my standards when I was speaking to you in my last entry? Because I see nothing of the sort. As for the information I had provided with the sites, and video... It seems that nothing I had for reference seems to be not good enough, and if these are the rules of Wikipedia, then this source isn't the best to turn to. Although, I am still continuing on my search to find anything else that could be used. (I am looking for the facts of the episode of Gamdhead, etc.) Anyways, thank you for your advise once again, Ex-Nintendo. - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 00:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
As many times as I watch Ada's Report 5 the wording suggests that Wesker and Ada are both "The Organization" operatives as they have been since Wesker's second employment was established in CV, and even as far back as Resident Evil 2. Then Wesker had contacted another organization repeatedly the "Pharmaceutical Giant S." Then judging from Wesker's loyalty history either Ada or "The Organization" decided not to give him an actual sample.
Did I miss a point where Ada claims she worked for "S" initially? If not I think Ada's and Wesker's article needs to be corrected to suggest Wesker is at least working toward double (triple?) crossing "The Organization" rather than saying Ada is working for "The Organization" against Wesker's goal since the report introduces "S" rather than "The Organization."

Am I the only one who finds the opening paragraph a little lengthy? Surely things could be a little more summed up than that, especially considering that it lists a few things that are further detailed in the article that follows. Huelenrite 5:28 07 September 2007.
The title says it all. Is there any real information regarding the reasons as to why Waugh did not voice Wesker in the two games? I find it odd that he does Wesker in Code Veronica, then does not do it Remake, does it again in Zero and 4, but then again does not do it in the Umbrella Chronicles. I have heard rumours that Waugh did not voice act Wesker in the two games because of union issues, but I don't know if this is true or not.

Has anyone else seen the trailer for the 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations? In it, Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield seem to be at each others throats over an unidentified prisoner. Although there's no certainty, the prisoner has short blond hair and an incredibly superior attitude toward Jill and Chris. It seems like Wesker to me, and I think it's enough to warrant a mention on this page (with an 'unconfirmed' statement, of course). What do others think? Legionaireb ( talk) 16:37, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible that Wesker was/is intended to be something of a pastiche of English rock singer Graham Bonnet? Given that Bonnet maintains a large following in Japan to this day, it could well be the case. Just a thought, anyhow. 121.223.165.18 ( talk) 03:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I have removed the information regarding Wesker's alleged performance in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. While the sources given state that someone found data in the game suggesting there will be a character called 'Albert' in Resident Evil 7. There is no further conclusive evidence or official statement from CapCom given whether this will in fact be Albert Wesker.
Unless there is something more concrete, Wesker's appearance in Resi 7 is speculation at this point. Three sources based on rumors and speculation do not classify as reliable sources. Rumors and speculative theories from un-reliable sources are considered original research. Wesker could in fact be in the game, but we would need something official and clear to validate this. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 06:07, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

A common practice is to use the author-year or publisher-year for the reference name. This helps editors remember the name, by associating it with the information that is visible to the reader.

This is, frankly, going to need a lot of work before it can pass GA. I understand that it's been through GA1 and a GOCE copyedit, but it still feels unpolished and disorganized. I'm also extremely dubious about the reliance on primary sources and listicles; although that isn't a GACR, I suspect it's not helping. Better sourcing might provide better material to mine from. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 11:23, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Hey StarScream1007. I believe we already have fixed most of the issues. But, one there's a problem with the reception section. On previous GAN, concerns like "Was there any reception of his appearances in particular games? What about his earlier appearances? Currently we have a bunch of "best of" type quotes and some comments about his death, but not much about his reception earlier" is not a good thing to hear when Wesker doesn't have that much reception and I couldn't find more sadly.

"Chris and Wesker's final showdown is both a terrible boss fight and unforgettable, because despite the faults it showcases a certain mindset about what an ultimate action climax should be. " (Ref #43, being used for plot info)
:* Gamespot - RE: Umbrella Chronicles:
"The voice acting is a better fit, with the role of Albert Wesker, who serves as the game's narrator, being particularly entertaining."
:* IGN - RE: Umbrella Chronicles:
"you've also got side quests that open up along the way, so you'll have a chance to fill in the gaps of the story as the main plot unfolds. Some of our favorite in the bunch revolve around Wesker"

1. Article is well-written. A few typos and iffy wordings here and there but nothing too overly detrimental.
2. No OR, all info is cited in the article.
3. Coverage is broad, but rather weak in places. It feels like a weird limbo between there and not that I can't really describe.
4. Article appears neutral, and does not appear to hold a significantly negative nor positive stance on the subject.
5. Article appears stable. Any vandalism was minor and dealt with days before the GAR.
6. Article uses one fair use image with proper rationale.
-What is the Racoon Police Department? Specify a bit. Done
-Same for the Umbrella Corporation. Specify that they're a villainous organization. Done
-"Several actors have portrayed Wesker, including Jason O'Mara, Shawn Roberts, Tom Hopper, and Lance Reddick in the live-action Resident Evil series." Did all of them portray him in live action, or just Reddick? They indeed are. 🥒 Greenish Pickle!🥒 ( 🔔) 00:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
-Minor nitpick, but perhaps you could include a multi-image infobox with all of his live action actors? It feels a bit odd having only O'Mara there. Done
-Do we need to know the locations of every Resident Evil game featuring Wesker?
-"She also said that since Nietzche passed away a few years before the Nazi Party was founded, he was unable to personally propose his theory to them, but his sister did. Subsequently, the Nazi Party used the concept of the Übermensch to uphold white supremacy." This is just a history recap that isn't too relevant to Wesker. Done removing it.
-Source 66 feels more like a source discussing the Umbrella Chronicles more than anything related to Wesker's character. Done removing it.
-"Jesse Schedeen of IGN discussed his appearances across the franchise, in which she said that Wesker is "the best bad guys are the ones that wear shades."" Quote doesn't work due to lack of grammar. Done fixing it.
-I worry the Forbes source is more about Reddick as an actor than Wesker, given Wesker is mentioned for all of two lines. I feel the Afterlife source is also a bit trivial, but given it's supporting wider points, I'm not entirely against it. Not done, maybe it should be fine.
I feel iffy on this article. On the one hand, it's not terrible, and mostly meets criteria, but it feels a step removed from a true Good Article. I'm not going to fail this yet, but I feel a second opinion would be greatly valued here, so I've requested for one to be given. To whoever answers this, I'd like just a general judge of the article, as I'm just not quite certain if this article meets the criteria or not. The sourcing feels weak in spots, and yet doesn't feel outright terrible, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 00:21, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

I question this claim. He is arguably the main human antagonist in the original game, but you never actually fight him. Then he isn't in Part 2 or 3 at all. He shows up in Code Veronica but the "main antagonist" label doesn't exactly fit that game either. I don't know much about Part 0 but I know he's basically a "bonus" character in Part 4. I am editing this, please discuss before reverting. -- Feitclub 06:23, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
Despite the fact that there is difficulty in titling Wesker as the principal villain within the individual scenarios of each games, I believe that he does fulfill the role as the main antagonist. I think the problem with labelling Wesker with this title is that he is not given the status of most archetypal villains (he has been killed and defeated by all of the primary heroes have knowledge of who he is.) Either way, his feud with Chris Redfield (arguably the series primary hero as he is the character that most fans associate with the series) seems to demonstrate his importance as a villain. -- Jack of Blades
Wesker is not the main antagonist... Ozwell E. Spencer is. Sure, we've never even seen, heard, or have been humanly told about him, but we've read about him and it is no doubt that it was he that started Umbrella, the experiments, the mansion incidents, and everything after. Wesker is just a lackey who thinks he can stray from the pack. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.70.139 ( talk) 23:50, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
You're all wrong, I think Umbrella as a whole are the antogonists.
Umbrella goes bankrupt and Wesker is still being evil in RE4 and he is trying to revive umbrella, so Umbrella's finished, almost everyone except Spencer is dead, and Spencer is hiding from the police, and Wesker is the only character to have a role in every resident evil, even if he was working in the shadows, and in Umbrella chronicles he technically is the principal character, because he is the one telling everything that had a connection with umbrella's end and you get to play as him. So he really is the main antagonist until we know Spencer's role in future games, its like thinking Darth Vader is the main antagonist in Star Wars then they show you Palpatines powers and role, so wait until RE5. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.176.95.55 ( talk) 12:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
In the article it mentions that Wesker recieved a fake sample from Ada (as well as other claims). Can someone back this up with evidence?
I was doing ok with copyediting till I got to this paragraph:
Wesker bunkered down in a small secure monitoring room, safe from roaming monsters and from his former team. Here, he began leading the others to traps. When the opportunity presented itself, he gained Barry's cooperation by blackmailing him with threats against his family. Wesker was also responsible for the death of Bravo Team's leader, Enrico Marini, after finding the truth, using Barry to get to him. However, Jill and Chris eventually learned the truth about Wesker and proceeded to destroy the Tyrant, along with the underground laboratory. The two, along with Barry and surviving Bravo Team member Rebecca, escaped the mansion in a helicopter piloted by a guilt-stricken Brad Vickers, and left Wesker for dead after he was killed by Tyrant, which he had himself awakened.
Then my eyes started bleeding because it is so ambiguous and parts do not make sense and ...well. Someone else please help this paragraph because I suspect the ambiguity is due to actual plot info that I don't know about, not being a RE fan and I don't want to change the meaning of anything. -- Naha| (talk) 20:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't plan on putting this in the wiki although I had thought about it...but its just speculation more than anything so not for now. I was wondering, does anyone else feel like Wesker is the pseudo main character of the entire Resident Evil series? He may not be the hero, but he's technically been in almost every single RE or at least by far the highest amount...and if he's not there physically he at least has an intangible presense usually.
RE0=He's with Birkin, and Bravo Team's dillemna is of course his doing. RE=We all know his part here RE2=He may not have been there in game, but canon wise he was along with Ada for the whole thing...working within the shadows. RE3=He wasn't really there so this is a bit of a stretch, but since he was present in RE2 he must of been looming around the city at least a little, and didn't Nicholai have some connection with him? (Or was he just Umbrella's dog, which would make him a rival of Wesker) RE: Code Veronica=Major role in the plot RE4=Secretly fighting the battle behind the scenes, and playable in Mercenaries.
While his appearance is something, what makes me think of him as the main character in a way is his influence in the series. Even in games that have nothing to do with him such as Outbreak and Gun Survivor Wesker is at least mentioned once...or at least his doings. Also if you think about it...in a way RE is Wesker's story, thats my biggest thought. From the first game to the most recent 4, everything is a step in Wesker's plan or his general escapades. In 0 it was all about getting the Tyrant and using it against Umbrella (for his own purposes of course). From 2 to Veronica..all the events of each game are a backdrop to the real conclusion...Wesker obtaining what he wanted. Even in 4, perhaps more than any other game, the story seems to twist around Wesker's fingers. The cult and everything was used by Wesker (using Ada) so he could obtain what he wanted. The overall motion of the story now is what Wesker is up to.
I'm sorry if this is a bit wordy, but I was wondering if anyone else shared this sentiment?-- Kiyosuki 01:51, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Hmm.. A thought occurs to me. Where Umbrella has at the very least been woefully incompotent, negelgant, or whatever else you'd call it. (Namely how close to a population center they dropped a chemical weapons lab, and how poorly they prepared for what looked like a likely scenario) But Wesker has always been cool, calm, compotent and from the looks of things he's yet to fail due to a perosnal error. Frankly, i'd rather not let him be in charge of Umbrella, the Corporation, or anything else.. He'd be far too good at it. Bluegrime 07:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC) Bluegrime
This section needs badly rewritten - most of it is incorrect. Birkin and Wesker didn't work on the T-virus while Marcus worked on his - they only started working on the T virus at Arklay AFTER Marcus was killed and they stole his research, ie they continued it. Parjay 22:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
It states that the picture in Wesker’s stats screen “after succesfully using him in merc mode” is him back in the days when he worked with Birkin in the lab. I presume the editor is talking about the picture after completing a mercenary level where it displays your ranking and such, but I don’t see anything that suggests it was Wesker in his lab days, as he’s wearing the same outfit he is in Resident Evil 4, and I don’t see anything else suggesting that. Is there another picture I’m unaware of or should this be fixed? T.K.R. 10:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay... Why is my part about Wesker appearing as a zombie, in the Sega Saturn version of the original Resident Evil, need to be cited? There is a link there to prove it and two pictures of him as the zombie. - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 23:22, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Okay. What about the two pictures I had provided? I mean, it took me forever to find them... and yes, they are on my on webpage account. Because I wanted to re-size them for others to view at a larger size. - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 23:28, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Wesker is the only villain who managed to survive the Umbrella Corp. period of the Resident Evil series. (Another villain who potentially survived is Spencer but this scenario is not yet confirmed.)
What about Nicholai? Been a while since I played RE3, but close to the end I remember a scene where he was in a helicopter and you had a choice to either fight him or talk with him, and, IIRC, the 'talk with him' option ended with him living through the game. And in Survivor you can find files written by him after the incident. So I'm going to add him in with the remark about Spencer for now, unless someone says something otherwise. Ynos 18:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
In the main ending/good ending for Nemesis he is either ripped in half by Nemesis or he is killed by you.If he escapes you got the bad ending.
Whereas previously he seemed to function as an undercover policeman, his role within the Resident Evil world now seems more akin to that of an experienced spy, or even super villain.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he a top researcher at the Arklay Mountain lab? Calling him an "undercover policeman" makes it sound like he was a mere grunt in the first game.-- Foot Dragoon 01:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
True, get rid of it. -- Jack of Blades 16:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I have added new information reguarding the speculations and information that other Resident Evil fans have provided on forums about Albert Wesker and his involvment in Resident Evil, etc. I feel that this section can be used as a way to express one's opinions and thoughts about Albert Wesker and what is in store for him. However, the only rule is to have some kind of reference to back up their claims or thoughts, online or offline. That is if they want to keep their post up, or present and write it in a manner that is feasible. :) - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 21:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Then "In other Media" shouldn't be a section. Because whether it's rumor or not, or if it can be linked or not... It's still genuine media. - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 22:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I understand what you are stating, but not everything can be linked back because sometimes the internet doesn't provide it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a reference to go with it. It just means it's offline, and besides. I am not the only one on here that edits and writes about information or speculations without a link to go with it. However, I'll do what I can to provide whatever I can for the "In other media" section. But for the most part, a lot of it can only be viewed offline. Such as the Resident Evil Archives book. -
*.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 22:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I did. Most of it came from the Resident Evil Archives book, by Bradly Games, and there is no other way to view these facts or the content of the book. Because there isn't a source online that would provide it. However, I appreciate your help and advise. :) - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 22:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Ah, alright. I'll see what I can do to prove some of the contents that are in the Archives book. As for the other information, I know I have seen them on other sites. But my room mate was the one that found them. Anyways, give me some time to find them in order to prove these theories to be facts or apart of a decent media. :P
*.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 22:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually, not all of them was fan speculations. There are two parts of it that happen to be true. One: The fact that Peter O'Meara will be playing the part of Albert Wesker in Extinction has been verified. (and writen by another user). Two: There are sources that state that Wesker will be in Resident Evil 5 and that he will not be the main antagious. For this resource that Wesker will be in 5, and the other parts, (except about the movie) I will leave out until I can find the reasources for them either online or offline. -

By "Gamehead" on Spike Tv. Which you can find the videos of the show on http//www.youtube.com . They were the first video game show that was on the set of Extinction. Plus, there is another site that has verified this. I can't think of it now, but I'll go get the site. -

*.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 23:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
A random Youtube video is not a reliable source. I want to cite this to a reliable source, so that someone who wants to verify this claim can do so in a source that is reliable (unlike a site where anyone can upload anything). If it can't be cited, it's not going in. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 23:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
lol.. You got to be kidding me? The director of the film himself, states that Wesker will be in the next Resident Evil movie, in the video of Gamehead. -

Dude, I have given you two solid links that proves that Wesker will be appearing in the next Resident Evil movie, and that Peter O'Meara will be playing the part. But you keep on insisting that it isn't a faction because they aren't feasible references by your own standards. I don't know why you don't think the video is evential enough to be proof, and the site that I had provided, which is a timeline of the actor's career, and what movies, TV. shows he's taken part in? You can look this up in any search engine, and it'll state the same thing. - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 00:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
"You may want to read
WP:V, and do keep going past the title." - A Man In Black
-.- What's with the insults? Did I lower my standards when I was speaking to you in my last entry? Because I see nothing of the sort. As for the information I had provided with the sites, and video... It seems that nothing I had for reference seems to be not good enough, and if these are the rules of Wikipedia, then this source isn't the best to turn to. Although, I am still continuing on my search to find anything else that could be used. (I am looking for the facts of the episode of Gamdhead, etc.) Anyways, thank you for your advise once again, Ex-Nintendo. - *.:.`ShadowFox` S.T.A.R.S..:.* 00:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
As many times as I watch Ada's Report 5 the wording suggests that Wesker and Ada are both "The Organization" operatives as they have been since Wesker's second employment was established in CV, and even as far back as Resident Evil 2. Then Wesker had contacted another organization repeatedly the "Pharmaceutical Giant S." Then judging from Wesker's loyalty history either Ada or "The Organization" decided not to give him an actual sample.
Did I miss a point where Ada claims she worked for "S" initially? If not I think Ada's and Wesker's article needs to be corrected to suggest Wesker is at least working toward double (triple?) crossing "The Organization" rather than saying Ada is working for "The Organization" against Wesker's goal since the report introduces "S" rather than "The Organization."

Am I the only one who finds the opening paragraph a little lengthy? Surely things could be a little more summed up than that, especially considering that it lists a few things that are further detailed in the article that follows. Huelenrite 5:28 07 September 2007.
The title says it all. Is there any real information regarding the reasons as to why Waugh did not voice Wesker in the two games? I find it odd that he does Wesker in Code Veronica, then does not do it Remake, does it again in Zero and 4, but then again does not do it in the Umbrella Chronicles. I have heard rumours that Waugh did not voice act Wesker in the two games because of union issues, but I don't know if this is true or not.

Has anyone else seen the trailer for the 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations? In it, Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield seem to be at each others throats over an unidentified prisoner. Although there's no certainty, the prisoner has short blond hair and an incredibly superior attitude toward Jill and Chris. It seems like Wesker to me, and I think it's enough to warrant a mention on this page (with an 'unconfirmed' statement, of course). What do others think? Legionaireb ( talk) 16:37, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible that Wesker was/is intended to be something of a pastiche of English rock singer Graham Bonnet? Given that Bonnet maintains a large following in Japan to this day, it could well be the case. Just a thought, anyhow. 121.223.165.18 ( talk) 03:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I have removed the information regarding Wesker's alleged performance in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. While the sources given state that someone found data in the game suggesting there will be a character called 'Albert' in Resident Evil 7. There is no further conclusive evidence or official statement from CapCom given whether this will in fact be Albert Wesker.
Unless there is something more concrete, Wesker's appearance in Resi 7 is speculation at this point. Three sources based on rumors and speculation do not classify as reliable sources. Rumors and speculative theories from un-reliable sources are considered original research. Wesker could in fact be in the game, but we would need something official and clear to validate this. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 06:07, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

This is, frankly, going to need a lot of work before it can pass GA. I understand that it's been through GA1 and a GOCE copyedit, but it still feels unpolished and disorganized. I'm also extremely dubious about the reliance on primary sources and listicles; although that isn't a GACR, I suspect it's not helping. Better sourcing might provide better material to mine from. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 11:23, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Hey StarScream1007. I believe we already have fixed most of the issues. But, one there's a problem with the reception section. On previous GAN, concerns like "Was there any reception of his appearances in particular games? What about his earlier appearances? Currently we have a bunch of "best of" type quotes and some comments about his death, but not much about his reception earlier" is not a good thing to hear when Wesker doesn't have that much reception and I couldn't find more sadly.

1. Article is well-written. A few typos and iffy wordings here and there but nothing too overly detrimental.
2. No OR, all info is cited in the article.
3. Coverage is broad, but rather weak in places. It feels like a weird limbo between there and not that I can't really describe.
4. Article appears neutral, and does not appear to hold a significantly negative nor positive stance on the subject.
5. Article appears stable. Any vandalism was minor and dealt with days before the GAR.
6. Article uses one fair use image with proper rationale.

-Same for the Umbrella Corporation. Specify that they're a villainous organization. Done
-"Several actors have portrayed Wesker, including Jason O'Mara, Shawn Roberts, Tom Hopper, and Lance Reddick in the live-action Resident Evil series." Did all of them portray him in live action, or just Reddick? They indeed are. 🥒 Greenish Pickle!🥒 ( 🔔) 00:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
-Minor nitpick, but perhaps you could include a multi-image infobox with all of his live action actors? It feels a bit odd having only O'Mara there. Done
-Do we need to know the locations of every Resident Evil game featuring Wesker?
-"She also said that since Nietzche passed away a few years before the Nazi Party was founded, he was unable to personally propose his theory to them, but his sister did. Subsequently, the Nazi Party used the concept of the Übermensch to uphold white supremacy." This is just a history recap that isn't too relevant to Wesker. Done removing it.
-Source 66 feels more like a source discussing the Umbrella Chronicles more than anything related to Wesker's character. Done removing it.
-"Jesse Schedeen of IGN discussed his appearances across the franchise, in which she said that Wesker is "the best bad guys are the ones that wear shades."" Quote doesn't work due to lack of grammar. Done fixing it.
-I worry the Forbes source is more about Reddick as an actor than Wesker, given Wesker is mentioned for all of two lines. I feel the Afterlife source is also a bit trivial, but given it's supporting wider points, I'm not entirely against it. Not done, maybe it should be fine.
I feel iffy on this article. On the one hand, it's not terrible, and mostly meets criteria, but it feels a step removed from a true Good Article. I'm not going to fail this yet, but I feel a second opinion would be greatly valued here, so I've requested for one to be given. To whoever answers this, I'd like just a general judge of the article, as I'm just not quite certain if this article meets the criteria or not. The sourcing feels weak in spots, and yet doesn't feel outright terrible, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 00:21, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
