Hi everybody, I would like to "summon" the WikiProject Buffyvese community to participate in the Buffyverse Wiki, of which I'm one of the administrators.-- Gonzalo84 21:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia contains entirely too much Buffy stuff. The show was all right, but it's been off the air for years now, and, even when it was still broadcast, it never deserved all the attention it is given in Wikipedia. Other hit TV shows do not have anything near the coverage that this show receives. Is Joss Whedon secretly paying off the Wikipedia staff or has he hired an army of Wikiwriters to publicize his work? Ninety-five percent of the "articles" concerning Buffy deserve to be deleted, and, yes, I was (and remain) a fan of the show. -- This unsigned comment was left by User:207.200.116.202 14:31, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
The wikipedian who has recently been using the joint wiki-addresses below may want to review deletion policies before using up so much of their efforts.

I agree that there does NOT need to be a mass culling of Buffyverse info on Wikipedia. I only began watching Buffy/Angel within the last few months, and Wikipedia has been a great resource for learning about the series, examining relevant issues, and keeping track of episodes and plotlines. Thanks to everyone who has put so much effort into creating such a comprehensive reference system. Tambourineman 20:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)Tambourineman.
I realize this might be revisiting an old topic, but now that the first five episodes of Buffy have been tagged for deletion for notability does this mean all the individual episode information is going to be lost? Who decides what is notable? Wouldn't the first episode of the entire series qualify? QuinnZadok 02:06, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I recently went over the characters list. Wouldn't people like Gavin Park and Linwood Murrow, characters who really don't deserve their own page, best be served to be merged into a single article? Lindsey, Lilah and Holland are important enough to have their own pages, but these other two were really just as minimally recurrent as Forrest and Graham (from the Initiave). Kusonaga 20:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Could I just ask - how come Gavin Park has materialised on the Great Big Buffyverse Box of Death, when his article itself says that he is "one of the most marginal recurring characters"? Why do something like this when he might not be around for much longer... if you don't mind me asking. NP Chilla 22:11, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Supportspike.com has just started a brand new campaign to target Fox.
The aim is to send postcards in support of a Spike DVD-movie directed by Tim Minear, and to have all the postcards arrive at the same time, on June 23rd (Whedon's birthday).
The campaign is being discussed here:

I created the Buffyology website. http://buffyology.com/ I was trying to add a link from each episode page here to my episode page, but someone thought I was a bot and deleted all the links. Or nearly all of them.
Can I link to my website from each page? If not, why not? There seems to be a completely random pattern -- some pages have no External Links section, some do, and some sites which have a page for each ep are linked pretty much at random. I think it would be logical to link to some sites like the Buffy Trivia site, http://restlessbtvs.com and the Buffyverse Dialog database too, from every page.
I have transcripts of every episode and a database of all characters, actors, writers and directors.
I created the W&H employees article and merged Gavin Park and Linwood Murrow into it. I also took the tiny summaries from the lawyer list and put them in, but didn't add any new information because it's been ages since I saw any Angel other than season five. I thought about merging Knox into the article, because I believe that's where he belongs, but his current article is quite indepth -- possibly too indepth -- so I wanted to get a consensus here. His info would be shortened, but Knox, in my opinion, does not merit such a lengthy article. - Che Nuevara: Join the Revolution 12:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello! We at the Work via WikiProjects team previously contacted you here to identify the quality articles in your WikiProject, and now we need a few more favors. We would like you to identify the " key articles" from your project that should be included in offline releases of Wikipedia based on their importance, regardless of quality. We will use that information to assess which articles should be nominated for Version 1.0 (not yet open) and later versions. Hopefully it will help you identify which articles are the most important for the project to work on. As well, please keep updating your Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/WPArts#Wikipedia:WikiProject Buffyverse|Arts WikiProject article table]] for articles of high quality. If you are interested in developing a worklist such as this one for your WikiProject, or having a bot generate a worklist automatically for you, please contact us. Please feel free to post your suggestions right here. Thanks! Walkerma 06:03, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to find out the results of this discussion, is this your official list of key articles? Thanks, Walkerma 01:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I can't speak for the rest of the project, but I understand there was no real consensus. I'll try to find what I think are the key articles and get back to you. - Che Nuevara: Join the Revolution 09:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I recently wrote a Firefox sidebar navigation bar for Wikipedia. There is also a WP:Buffyverse implementation in it with the community links replaced by important WP:BUFFY links. It's free for anyone to use; if you're interested, you can find both versions here. - Che Nuevara: Join the Revolution 10:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi guys! Just thought I'd mention to fellow Whedonites that us Browncoats have started a WikiProject for Firefly/Serenity! Come join us! Project page is still bare bones because I just set it up tonight :-) - plange 04:31, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Someone recently put a wikify tag on the Expanded Overview section of City of (Angel episode). Via talk pages, I asked him why, and he said it was because there were few links and it was just a really long block of unadorned text. I'm not sure what to do about it. I don't think it needs much in the way of links, as the most linkable things are already linked in the summary. So, should there be subheadings, or less plot detail, or what? -- Jwwalker 06:39, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Buffyverse is up for deletion. Appreciated if people could have a look at the article, then read through the comments at the deletion forum.
I think it could certainly do with some work, but can't see any appropiate reason in Wikipedia:Deletion policy to delete the article. I believe that the user who nominated the article for deletion ( Lesqual) is essentially arguing that because the Buffyverse already has many detailed pages, that the article for 'Buffyverse' itself is not needed. However shouldn't that logic mean we don't need a generic Star Trek article since the films and TV series already have their own pages? -- Paxomen 16:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
It's not up for deletion any more, the result was keep. -- Jwwalker 17:10, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I have no idea how to do this, but can someone please add the page for the Buffy CCG (Collectable Card Game) to the 'Buffyversenav' box under spin-offs? It should be up there with the toys, video games and RPGs. Jayunderscorezero 11:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
With regard to Seeing Red (Buffy episode):

Regarding "Hero" (Angel episode).
Twice -- in the description of the character Allen Francis Doyle, and in the description of the episode Hero -- the same mistake is made. Those descriptions are as follows:
"The two exchanged a passionate kiss; a blue ribbon of electricity passing between them as he gave her his visions, which changed the course of her life considerably." (Wiki, description of Allen Francis Doyle)
"Then he hauls back and hits Angel, knocking him into the cargo hold. Doyle grabs Cordelia and they kiss, a blue light passing between their lips." (Wiki, description of Angel episode "Hero")
If you watch the episode (as I just did again), you will note that the "light between the lips" of Doyle and Cordelia is the brightening lamp being used by the Scourge increasing in luminosity in the background. It's a nice thought, that there would be some visible sign of the transfer of seer abilities, but it would have risked giving the important plot moment away. Check the episode and you will see that there is no outward sign, though the light and camera angle may have intended to be symbolic. This should be changed a.s.a.p.. I did not do so because I am not a regular contributor to the Buffyverse wiki.
-- Freemount, October 15, 2006
I recently created the article, Buffyverse Magazines (UK), but I'm lacking Buffy mag #44. Does anyone have this issue, and therefore could let me know the interviews/features it includes? I've seen a photograph of the cover on ebay (and therefore know it contains interviews with Emma Caulfield, & Elizabeth Anne Allen, and a set report on "Selfless"), but are there any other interviews/features, and what is reviewed in 'Grave Reviews' section? -- Paxomen 16:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Can someone explain to me the significance of the individual chronology templates being used on Buffy episode pages? For example, Template:Buffychron2001b. I don't see how their inclusion is at all helpful in an encyclopedic way. If anything, it's just confusing and uses up too much space. I understand what they're trying to illustrate, but I think it fails at this and just adds confusion. scarecroe 15:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Timing
{{ Buffchron96-97}}
I tried to prevent it being confusing by only using it in a section called 'Timing' (sub-section of 'Continuity'). And also saying above the chart Stories that take place around the same time in the Buffyverse:. -- Paxomen 00:24, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I find this to be a useful tool and I hope that it stays - having a comprehensive reference of how all the buffyverse sources and stories fit together is highly helpful and, I believe, appropriate. Tambourineman 20:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)tambourineman
If we have suggestions to change the chronology, where do we bring them? For instance, I'd suggest that Buffy 4x01 (The Freshman) come before rather than after Angel 1x01 (City of) because of the phone call that takes place between them (Buffy answering "Hello? Hello?" which is near the end of 4x01 but the beginning of 1x01). For this and other suggestions, where do I bring them? Kimpire 19:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I recently managed to get this image Image:Buffy The Vampire Slayer cast.jpg to be released under a free license. Unfortunately it doesn't has Sarah Michelle Gellar on it. (to make it more complete). Perhaps it also could be used to replace some fair use images of the actors in it. Since I am not much into Buffyverse or photoshop I was hoping I could delegate the work of placing it in article space and or photoshopping to this project. :) Garion96 (talk) 11:46, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Just letting people know that the article ' Buffy the Vampire Slayer' is undergoing review to be a featured article. It might even be possible to get the article on the front page on March 10th 2007, (10th anniversary of Buffy - 10 years since " Welcome to the Hellmouth" was first seen).
Any feedback you can offer to improve the article and/or to either object or support the nomination, would be wonderful. Thanks -- Paxomen 18:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 21:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I've created a new wiki for Buffyverse content at wikiasite:buffy. It is not for encyclopedic content and doesn't aim to duplicate Wikipedia. Instead, the articles are mostly made up of trivia and quotes sections which can be expanded to include unverifiable material and original research, which wouldn't be allowed on Wikipedia. At the moment, the site doesn't have much original content since I basically took a cut down version of 700 Wikipedia articles to get it started - usually cutting out the extended episode summaries and most non-trivia sections. See the About page for more details. I hope some people from this WikiProject will join the new wiki and help to ensure it develops into a useful resource by and for fans for everything that Wikipedia can't provide. We also need some new admins there, so let me know if you'd like to volunteer for that. Angela . 15:24, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

As well as the basic list of Slayers on the
Slayer (Buffyverse) page, and the list on the
Potential and new Slayers page, we've also got:
1.
Other vampire slayers
2.
Buffyverse Slayer timeline, and
3.
Buffyverse Slayer timeline (canon)
..with number 1. on that list being kinda like a half-complete version of number 2., for instance having some Slayers from
Tales of the Slayers but not all. Is having all these lists too confusing? --

Beginning cross-post.
End cross-post. Please do not comment more in this section.
I think now might be a good time to discuss how we want to structure the episode articles. There have been some recent changes to Buffy Season 1 by User:Redsignal.
E.g. Welcome to the Hellmouth, The Witch, and most of Buffy Season 1 episodes
In brief, Redsignal is making them much shorter. This involes deleting and removing certain sections & content including 'Cut dialogue' (from Watcher's Guides or published shooting scripts), 'Arc significance', 'Writing', 'Cultural references' and 'Production details'. I think we we should try to cite and/or improve rather than delete.
I think we should make an effort to comment on these matters and reach a consensus, because there is no point in people working on episode articles, then seeing their work deleted.
Do we want to try to create, maintain and cite sections like 'Writing', 'Production details', 'Arc significance'? (Also structurally, do we want 'Music' and 'Translations' to appear as subsections within 'Production details'?) Or do we want simple short articles? -- Buffyverse 10:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
There are problems with a lot of the episode articles; the summaries are, by and large, too long. There is a lot of (at least potential) copyright issue in there. Things do definitely need to be sourced. But relevant and verifiable information should stay in. - Che Nuevara 20:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Gatorsong. I prefered the layout and the summaries before the most recent edits. In fact, the only reason I made a Wiki account was to comment on the recent changes because I couldn't find information that had been recently deleted. I'm very new to Wiki and appreciate all the hardwork that goes into creating these articles. I hate seeing it disappear. QuinnZadok 14:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Take the The Curse (Angel comic) page. That's just WAY too many images. They serve no encyclopedic use. We really need someone to go through those articles and take out the redundant images and get them deleted. It's A) not pretty and B) not necessary. Kusonaga 10:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
In the info boxes on the character pages there's a "Created by" line, but there isn't total consistency. Most just say Joss Whedon, but some say Joss and the writer of the episode the character first appeared in. So, should they all have that extra writer's name? Or none? And if Joss is there by virtue of being the creator, then I guess Greenwalt should be credited on all the Angel character pages. But if Joss is there as the Exec. Producer, then Noxon and Minear should probably make appearances too.-- Nalvage 17:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:21, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
User:KnightLago seems to be putting most of the fictional locations in the Buffyverse up for deletion as fancruft, including The White Room (Buffyverse), Hellmouth (Buffyverse), Hellmouth (Buffyverse), The Magic Box, and Caritas (Buffyverse).

The following below 4 articles have been nominated for deletion. As these articles stand now they are un-referenced (making verifiability difficult) and full of what is arguably original research. After a discussion on the varied AFD pages, we are now talking about making a single page where they may better be looked after under one roof. This would enable important locations in the Buffy world to be added and cited properly.
The proposal includes the above text, and the following:
We hereby propose redirecting the old below articles to a new single central Buffy location article, and starting anew. The new article, with a title suggested by NeilEvans of Locations in the Buffyverse, would be a new article detailing the central locations in the Buffyverse. It is our hope that by consolidating the important locations of the Buffy world we can start anew with references and proper citations. We would then redirect the articles old individual names to the new article dealing with Buffy locations.
This is a compromise proposal and a work in progress at that. It was brought here for the people who know the subject matter. Hopefully we can shape a proposal and then move forward with a consensus. I would ask for Support, Oppose, or Comment. KnightLago 21:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Support Makes sense to me. Zahir13 17:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
I copied/moved the proposal over to the Village pump here. It is my hope that by putting it there more people will see it and comment on it. I think it best if the discussion continue over there. KnightLago 03:48, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

If people would care to assist in replacing {{ Infobox Angel Television episode}} with the parent template {{ Infobox Television episode}}, I would be very grateful. The "List of Angel episodes" link needs to be added to almost all of them btw. I also notice several articles with more then one image in the Infobox. General MoStyle rules apply just as much in these articles. One image in the infobox, the rest dispersed throughout the articles. Please make minimal use of these Fair Use images.

The page for Ben (who may be related to Glory in some way) gives his last name as "Wilkinson." What is the source for this? He is only refered to by his first name during season 5.
There was a Dr. Wilkinson in season 2's 'Killed by Death' but she is clearly not Ben.
In 'Weight of the World' we see his name tag, but it isn't clear enough to actually read. His signature on the tag clearly does begin with a 'W' but the rest of it looks like a squiggle with only one character with a full height ascender. The printed name is nearly completely illegible, but looks closer to "Williams" to me: Screen capture of name tag Don Sample 01:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
There is a special wiki-page (at ' Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests') to request for a specific featured article to be on the front page of Wikipedia, and requests can be made for specific dates. I have requested that the Buffy article be ' Today's featured article' on March 10, 2007. If it succeeds then it will be on the main page of Wikipedia on that date, which is the 10th anniversary since Buffy first aired. The anniversary has been mentioned by Whedonesquers (e.g. regarding the 10th anniversary trading cards, and here), and I think it would be great if the article does get slotted into this date. If anyone agrees that the article Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a very high-quality article that deserves to be shown on the front page on that date, then they can write Support (in bold) and a comment under the nomination, about why the article deserves to be featured - this can be done at the page, ' Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests'. E.g. the Firefly request there (for any date) currently has 5 'supports'. If some people support the nomination it will be more likely that the very busy "Featured Article Director", Raul654 takes it into account and fits the Buffy article into his 'Today's featured article' schedule for March 10.
The Angel article had some considerable improvement between the November 24 version and December 31 version, including the new images, and many completely new sections (Origins, Executive producers, Writing, Music, Setting, Format, Themes, Plot Summary, Characters, DVDs), and has continued to improve since. For that reason I have nominated it for 'Good article' status. Anyone who has not contributed to the article can read the the criteria and review it at ' Wikipedia:Good article candidates' if they wish. -- Paxomen 16:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
In dealing with Buffy the Vampire Slayer season eight, to make sure this article comes out a very high quality, collaboration with WP:COMIC members will be necessary.

Hello, good Buffy people. You probably noticed that the category formerly known as Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast and crew has been renamed Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast members. As you might guess, this left a number of people like Jane Espenson miscategorized. I took the liberty of creating Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer writers and Category: Buffy the Vampire Slayer producers, and put people in the appropriate place. Those two accounted for most of the "crew" — Christophe Beck and Adam Shankman ended up in the parent category Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which I suppose is OK.
Anyway, in doing this cleanup I noticed that there's no category for Angel actors. Is this a deliberate omission by you folks? If it's not, someone can create it for folks like Amy Acker (who doesn't have any Angel-related categories on her page at the moment). You could also create categories for Angel writers and producers, on the model of the ones I created for Buffy. I just figured I'd let you know what I'd done and why. — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 04:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

A massive amount of effort seems to have gone into these three articles and although I am familiar with the canon Buffyverse, I may not be entirely qualified to make a judgment on the article, as it seems to go beyond the canon. Any clarifications at the AfD would help. Thank you, Black Falcon 05:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Since he's appeared quite a few times now in comics, would it be feasible to make a Dracula (Buffyverse) article? He's quite a notable character.~ Zythe Talk to me! 15:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
{{Infobox Buffyverse Character| Image=<!--[[Image:Dracula (Buffyverse).jpg|140px]]-->| Title=Dracula| First=[[Buffy vs. Dracula (Buffy episode)|Buffy vs. Dracula]]| Last=[[Buffy vs. Dracula (Buffy episode)|Buffy vs. Dracula]]| Creator=| Name=Dracula| Status=Undead| Affiliation= Romanov clan| Kind=Vampire | Powers=Immortality, bat/wolf transformation, and mind control.| Actor=Rudolf Martin| }}
Dracula is a vampire character, best known as the title character of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel. The character also is widely used within popular culture and is used in the Buffyverse [1], and been adopted by Joss Whedon, the creator of the fictional universe. He first appears in this regards in the Buffy episode, " Buffy vs. Dracula", and later in comics Tales of the Vampires (specifically, in " Antique"), and Spike vs. Dracula. He is also referenced in the comic, Old Times, and the novel, Blackout.
In the ( uncanon) comic, Spike vs. Dracula, it is revealed that Dracula has connections to the gypsy clan that cursed Angel with a soul. He is an acquaintance of Anya Jenkins, and Spike claims he is a sell-out of the vampire world, fond of magic and Hollywood. The vampire popularised by Bram Stoker in the Dracula novel is also used as a basis for the ideas in the show, primarily the methods in which vampires are killed. In an episode called " Buffy vs. Dracula". Buffy Summers, having "seen his movies", waits after first killing him, noting that he "always comes back".
It has been mentioned on the appropiate talk page already but I felt it is also worth alerting the WikProBuff. The featured article, Buffy the Vampire Slayer will be on the front page of Wikipedia on March 10, which is exactly 10 years after the premiere Buffy episode was first aired on March 10, 1997. It will be worth keeping this article in top-notch condition and vandalism-free. Howver it may also be good to make sure all of our articles as good as possible around this time, as traffic on Buffy articles maybe significantly higher than usual as newbies read the Buffy article and click on related wikilinks. I'd guess that related articles with highest traffic might include:
The article which I believe would benefit most in the next few days from some work is the '
Joss Whedon' one, which has been rated only 'Start-Class' on the talk page. It also has been given the tag "contains original research or unattributed claims". It'd be great if this article received some more attention and was brought up to a higher standard by project members before March 10. For examples of good (featured) articles of TV/film execitives, potential templated that the 'Whedon' article could follow, see

There are two articles Glorificus and The Beast (Buffyverse). I don't know much about the series (I patrol Beast (disambiguation)). Are these two the same character. Are there two "The Beast"s in the buffyverse? Someone made a link to Glorificus from Beast (disambiguation), and I've changed it to The Beast (Buffyverse). So, that should be resolved there I think, either with a hatnote or something else. I won't be watching this page, but if you have any questions, let me know on my talk page or on the beast dab page.

Now that the first issue of Season Eight has come out, "The Long Way Home, Part 1," what do we do regarding the pages of characters appearing in said issue when it comes to "last appearances"? For example, does the "Last appearance" section on Buffy's page go from "Chosen" to "The Long Way Home, Part 1"?
Considering the comic is canon, I think this is something to consider, but I wanted to ask before doing so.
If we do agree to do so, this should be done for Buffy, Xander, Dawn, and Amy. - Whedonite 17:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
what about the one-offs then? after TLWH, whedon will write one issue that will be a one-off before the new arc starts... should we have a one-off page to put all of those instead of making their own pages?! - Xornok 19:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Potential and new Slayers needs splitting into Potential Slayers and New Slayers since they're too different things and the various characters like Rowenna and Leah may eventually require coverage. I think that explaining what a Potential is and who the new Slayers are on one page is very, very confusing. They'd work better as two separate articles, one describing what a Potential is and ending with how "Chosen" changed the rules, and another about what a new Slayer is, why they're there, briefly mentioning the old Potential system and moving onto list the new Slayers...~ Zythe Talk to me!
Please edit User:Zythe/Template:Buffychrons8 until we get something final. Add anything you think of to the bottom as a new potential template. Obviously we can't use anything yet because only s8 #1 is out, but still.~ Zythe Talk to me! 22:56, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello all, I recently made my first venture into Wikipedia editing after trying and failing to find information on Buffy's Scythe.
In short, I edited the Slayer (Buffyverse) article to include a section on Weapons and Equipment. After a quick overview of stakes and the like, I added information on the Scythe based on information from the S7 episodes in which it appears and the Fray comic. After that, I decided that Nikki Wood's "Slayer Emergency Kit" was noteworthy, and included it as well.
Lastly, I decided that the entire article was rather messy, so I decided to "be bold" and make some rather drastic edits. I pared the information in the article down to just what I thought was relevant to the Slayer mythos, removing some of the more Buffy-centric facts and generally clearing out what I felt was unnecessary or redundant information.
I'm pretty happy with the result, but wanted to make those of you who aren't newbies aware of the changes, in case there's anything you wanted to add. -- Jeff-El 21:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I have no idea if this is the actual discussion page to ask this question, but how do I go on about joining WP:Buffy? I've been contributing with images and as much info as I know to many Buffyverse articles, helping with vandalism, etc. for a while now, so I figured I might be a good addition to the team.-- The Scourge 14:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Should the articles feature scans of what the characters look like now in Season Eight? I imagine Amy, Dawn, Buffy, Xander, Willow etc. are all candidates. Should we treat the Post-Sunnydale section as we would a comics article? ~ Zythe Talk to me! 17:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I dug out my DVDs and grabbed captures of Angel's "Van-Tal" face on Pylea, as well as a vampire being "dusted" (Angel, as a matter of fact) for the Vampire entry. I also used the existing server pictures of Spike's vamp face and The Master to illustrate a traditional vampire and an old vampire, respectively.
I feel that these are all the pictures necessary to the understanding of the Vampire article.
Please let me know if I did anything inappropriate with the pictures, I'm not too familiar with usage rules and would rather not get into trouble. -- Jeff-El 01:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
I know it's been suggested before, but I'd like to propose that the articles for " Watcher" and " Watchers' Council" be merged.
I just finished cleaning up the Council page considerably, and when I did so I added the information from the "Watcher" article. It seems pretty redundant to me to maintain both articles, and I think that adding information on what a Watcher is into the Council article is the way to go.
I'm really not sure how to formally suggest this, but please let me know what you think. -- Jeff-El 03:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Our list of participants has over 80 names on it, however not everyone on the list is still an active member. Following the example of some of the other effective WikiProjects I feel it maybe useful for this Project to have a "Roll Call" (e.g. see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Star Wars#November/December Roll call). If anyone objects to this, then the idea can be abandoned.
Everyone who wishes to continue to be an active member of WikiProject Buffyverse could list their names below and optionally mention any special interests they have for the project (e.g. images, episode articles..), or if they are a more general editor. They can also optionally mention anything they have recently been up to.
In mid-April I will put a message on the talk pages of those who have not yet signed on. Those who still have not signed by the end of April could be put on a past members list, they can rejoin if/whenever they wish. I think those inactive members who made big contributions could perhap be awarded with the Buffyverse Barnstar.
After this we will have a more useful list of active members and maybe some info on their special interests. This could help for editors to work together and motivate each other on relevant tasks. E.g. if a newer member of the project was looking for assistance on improving episode articles, they would know who might be interested in helping/collaborating. I'll get the ball rolling by starting the list. -- Paxomen 13:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

For reference, someone has been blanking the synopsis of After Life (Buffy episode). I restored it and posted the following note on its talk page.
It looks like we should be going through all the synopses wikifying them. I have seen darned few internal links. samwaltz 23:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
There is talk of merging Dawn's page into a list of characters page. I think this is pretty ridiculous, when you think how many minor Buffy characters have their own page, but the problem seems to be that she hasn't had enough of a cultural impact to be relevant. If anyone knows any websites or magazine articles which mention Dawn, please put them on the page to save her! Paul730 21:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I recently made lots of edits to Willow's page. Anyone want to take a look and check if they're any good? I'd like to submit this page for a review, but thought I'd see what you all thought first. Paul730 21:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
In Season Eight, Giles comments would indicate that Buffy and Xander's organisation seems to be the next stage of evolution of the Watcher's Council, now under their command... or at least, based upon the remnants of it.

The WikiProject Television episode coverage taskforce have recently been working on a review process for episode articles. There are a rash of articles about individual episodes which fail notability, and are unlikely to ever reach such requirements. Many contributors are unaware of the specific guidelines to assess notability in episode pages: Wikipedia:Television episodes. We have expanded these guidelines to make them more helpful and explanatory, and we invite you to read the guidelines, and make any comments on its talk page. After much discussion, we have created a proposed review process for dealing with problem articles. See: Wikipedia:Television article review process. We invite discussion of this process on its talk page. General comments about this whole process are welcome at the episode coverage taskforce talkpage. Thanks! Gwinva 10:13, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Not really sure where to ask about this, so I figured here might be a good starting point. If somebody knows a better place, I'll happily move. Anyhow, this is in regards to the timeline that appears at the bottom of pages for each of the season 1 episodes. It begins with "Welcome to the Hellmouth" taking place in the fall of 1996. I was under the impression that Buffy was a mid-year transfer student, arriving at Sunnydale High at the beginning of the second semester, which would be Spring 1997. This would fall in line with the show running only half a season, beginning with the first episode also airing in the Spring of 1997. Not to mention that there's no cold weather episodes, like there are during the subsequent (full) seasons (which would denote Winter), and would also fit with the appearance that school was already underway when she got there (included in such elements as Buffy being the only student who didn't know where her classes were, or that needed textbooks, etc.). Is there something somewhere that instead denotes Buffy having put in a full year at Sunnydale High for her sophomore year, or do others agree with me that Buffy was a mid-year transfer student? And if others agree that the timeline needs to be corrected, is there a simple way to make the changes across the board, or is the best way still to make the changes to one episode and then copy and paste it into the other 12? Nolefan32 01:11, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I recently had an online discussion about this topic. Cordelia says in the computer lab during "The Harvest" that it is Friday. That same day, Joyce mentions it is Buffy's second day at school. The first waning crescent moon after the winter solstice occures on Wednesday, January 10. However, if one considers that the crescent moon actually begins the moment a new moon ends, meaning the new moon lasts as long as, say, an eclipse in cosmic terms, then the very first sliver of the waning crescent would begin on Saturday, January 6th. This might be enough to fullfill the phrophecy form which Giles is reading. Backtracking form that to the day Buffy first arrives at Sunnydale High, that would put it on Thursday, January 4th. (Possibly the first day back for everyone after the 95 Christmas vacation.) Furthermore, if one assumes that the events with Darla at the very beginning of the episode take place before midnight the night before, then the series can be said to begin on Wednesday, January 3rd, 1996. So, pending an investigation into that opening scene (to see if any clocks are seen to see what time it says, or dialogue hints) the series probably either begins on the 3rd or 4th of January, 1996 - provided one accepts my theory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.211.101.59 ( talk) 15:32, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
The Buffy movie is included in the same timeline I mentioned above as taking place summer 1996. That's an odd attempt to retrofit the movie to the series, especially considering that the movie is still considered non-canonical even in the timeline. Seems to me the movie should be deleted, or at least reflect it's correct timing based on its release (Spring 1992). The Origin comic, considering it's purpose actually is to retrofit the movie to the series, can remain 1996 to lead in to the series (though it really should be Spring 1996, not Summer 1996, since it takes place during the school year and the students would be on vacation if it really were Summer it was taking place).

I'm new here. I'm not sure if this is where I should be posting this. I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place. I notice that in Doctor Who articles it is noted in the articles when the canonicity of something is debated. In the case of the Buffy stuff I think the Buffyverse Canon and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight articles should note that many people don't feel the season 8 comics are canon and don't feel anything that's not onscreen is canon. This is a major area of fan opinion and I think it should be noted. I am not saying the articles shouldn't say the comic is canon, only that I think the differing opinion should be mentioned as well, seeing as so many people hold it. Certainly I think an article discussing what's considered canon in the Buffyverse should note a viewpoint a large quantity of fans hold on that. It is after all the rule so many Buffyverse fans go by. There are obviously different definitions of canon and I think that should be noted, with reference to the widely held only-onscreen-is-canon view. (I have also put notes on the talk pages of the relevant articles, so as to put the info where it's relevant. I hope that doesn't count as spamming.) Skynowmore 21:14, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
This has been raised on the Children of the Senior Partners talk page, but I think it needs to be seen by a few more eyeballs. The article as it is is rather short an pointless...let's face it, we've only seen two of them before and information on them is scarce at best. I certainly don't think they qualify as "key terminology" in the navigation template.In my opinion, the whole thing could/should be merged into the existing Senior Partners article.

There is a Lois and Clark Episode called That Old Gang of Mine, and everytime I try and connect to that page directly, I get the Angel page.

I'm starting to get annoyed with the ever-growing list of relationships on the Buffyverse pages. As someone who's guilty of contributing to them, they're too fannish to have any real encyclopedic value and are a breeding ground for pointless trivia and OR. Also, it's not made clear what constitutes a notable relationship. After all; Spike and Anya's one night stand should be included in romantic/sexual relationships. But really, Spike has more of a relationship with Dawn, albeit a platonic one. But then, he also has a strong relationship with Xander, even if is based on hate, so shouldn't that be in there as well? What purpose do they actually serve?
I propose that all "Other relationships" be deleted completely, and "romantic/sexual" sections be drastically reduced. Rather than list every moment of two characters' relationship, briefly state their feelings for each other, and cite any crucial episodes. For example:
should become
Also, do people like Jeffery, Tyler, Owen, Tom, and Scott even deserve a mention on Buffy's page? She dated them for like two seconds! I think her list should be limited to Angel, Riley and Spike, with brief mention of Pike and Xander. How do other people think these sections should be handled? Paul730 17:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Could I just ask - how come Gavin Park has materialised on the Great Big Buffyverse Box of Death, when his article itself says that he is "one of the most marginal recurring characters"? Why do something like this when he might not be around for much longer... if you don't mind me asking. NP Chilla 22:11, 28 May 2006 (UTC) (from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Buffyverse#Wolfram & Hart employees)
In my opinion, Jasmine does belong in the box. She's the villain of Season 4. Both Hamilton and Eve are major characters in Season 5, despite their number of appereances.
At the moment the template:Buffyversenav has only 2 rows for each category (at least on my screen - is that the case for everyone else?). IMO it should stay that way, rather than get bigger going into three rows and making the whole box bigger. IMO if we add another character, we could remove one already there? What are peeps thoughts. -- Paxomen 17:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that Amy is listed in the main character directory as a reccuring character, but not on the bar at the bottom of the page. Is there a reason for this, or is it an oversight? She has her own article, it just takes a while to get there. I reccomend she be added to the people directory, because by standard of comparison she's probably been in more episodes than Eve. If I've overlooked something I appologize in advance, I just had trouble finding her today. -- Unsigned comment from: User:MaskedScissorDoll 16:51, 1 August 2006
Someone without a user account is consistently editing the "People" section of the Navigation template to include a highly irrelevant character, namely Scott Hope. Discussion on the talk page has so far reached a consensus that this character shouldn't be in the template, but this individual either hasn't read it, or isn't interested. I'd rather not get into a revert war over this, but am unsure as to the proper course of action. Jeff-El 00:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Over the last few weeks I've been quietly overhauling the Wolfram & Hart article. I think it now contains a comprehensive, well-referenced, but brief(ish), description of the company and its role in the series. I've also added a couple of real-world production details, but I think this is the section that needs expanding now. With a little more work, I hope it can be seen as an example of how more of the organization articles should look. -- Jeff-El 19:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
It is time to move this article to List of minor Angel characters, which is more in-line with the Buffy character articles. Beyond that, in its current state, most of the characters on the list are already mentioned in List of Angel characters, which is why those characters need to go and the article needs to be renamed to properly reflect the purpose of the article.

It's recently come to my attention that a lot of characters don't fit notability guidelines, and should just be integrated into lists. Really, characters like Cyvus Vail, who have appeared in just three episodes, really don't deserve their own article, and this applies to A LOT of characters that currently have articles. Kusonaga 21:34, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
I've already begun the work of integrating some characters into the List of Angel characters, in tune with what I've mentioned above. The Angel series is currently what I'm focusing on. I'm not going to redirect the articles right now, but I will start doing so in about a week, which I think is enough time for people to read this. If people are opposed to this, please state so under the comments section, with clear and pertinent arguments. Thank you. Kusonaga 12:07, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi everybody, I would like to "summon" the WikiProject Buffyvese community to participate in the Buffyverse Wiki, of which I'm one of the administrators.-- Gonzalo84 21:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia contains entirely too much Buffy stuff. The show was all right, but it's been off the air for years now, and, even when it was still broadcast, it never deserved all the attention it is given in Wikipedia. Other hit TV shows do not have anything near the coverage that this show receives. Is Joss Whedon secretly paying off the Wikipedia staff or has he hired an army of Wikiwriters to publicize his work? Ninety-five percent of the "articles" concerning Buffy deserve to be deleted, and, yes, I was (and remain) a fan of the show. -- This unsigned comment was left by User:207.200.116.202 14:31, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree that there does NOT need to be a mass culling of Buffyverse info on Wikipedia. I only began watching Buffy/Angel within the last few months, and Wikipedia has been a great resource for learning about the series, examining relevant issues, and keeping track of episodes and plotlines. Thanks to everyone who has put so much effort into creating such a comprehensive reference system. Tambourineman 20:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)Tambourineman.
I realize this might be revisiting an old topic, but now that the first five episodes of Buffy have been tagged for deletion for notability does this mean all the individual episode information is going to be lost? Who decides what is notable? Wouldn't the first episode of the entire series qualify? QuinnZadok 02:06, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I recently went over the characters list. Wouldn't people like Gavin Park and Linwood Murrow, characters who really don't deserve their own page, best be served to be merged into a single article? Lindsey, Lilah and Holland are important enough to have their own pages, but these other two were really just as minimally recurrent as Forrest and Graham (from the Initiave). Kusonaga 20:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Could I just ask - how come Gavin Park has materialised on the Great Big Buffyverse Box of Death, when his article itself says that he is "one of the most marginal recurring characters"? Why do something like this when he might not be around for much longer... if you don't mind me asking. NP Chilla 22:11, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Supportspike.com has just started a brand new campaign to target Fox.
The aim is to send postcards in support of a Spike DVD-movie directed by Tim Minear, and to have all the postcards arrive at the same time, on June 23rd (Whedon's birthday).
The campaign is being discussed here:

I created the Buffyology website. http://buffyology.com/ I was trying to add a link from each episode page here to my episode page, but someone thought I was a bot and deleted all the links. Or nearly all of them.
Can I link to my website from each page? If not, why not? There seems to be a completely random pattern -- some pages have no External Links section, some do, and some sites which have a page for each ep are linked pretty much at random. I think it would be logical to link to some sites like the Buffy Trivia site, http://restlessbtvs.com and the Buffyverse Dialog database too, from every page.
I have transcripts of every episode and a database of all characters, actors, writers and directors.
I created the W&H employees article and merged Gavin Park and Linwood Murrow into it. I also took the tiny summaries from the lawyer list and put them in, but didn't add any new information because it's been ages since I saw any Angel other than season five. I thought about merging Knox into the article, because I believe that's where he belongs, but his current article is quite indepth -- possibly too indepth -- so I wanted to get a consensus here. His info would be shortened, but Knox, in my opinion, does not merit such a lengthy article. - Che Nuevara: Join the Revolution 12:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello! We at the Work via WikiProjects team previously contacted you here to identify the quality articles in your WikiProject, and now we need a few more favors. We would like you to identify the " key articles" from your project that should be included in offline releases of Wikipedia based on their importance, regardless of quality. We will use that information to assess which articles should be nominated for Version 1.0 (not yet open) and later versions. Hopefully it will help you identify which articles are the most important for the project to work on. As well, please keep updating your Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/WPArts#Wikipedia:WikiProject Buffyverse|Arts WikiProject article table]] for articles of high quality. If you are interested in developing a worklist such as this one for your WikiProject, or having a bot generate a worklist automatically for you, please contact us. Please feel free to post your suggestions right here. Thanks! Walkerma 06:03, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to find out the results of this discussion, is this your official list of key articles? Thanks, Walkerma 01:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I can't speak for the rest of the project, but I understand there was no real consensus. I'll try to find what I think are the key articles and get back to you. - Che Nuevara: Join the Revolution 09:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I recently wrote a Firefox sidebar navigation bar for Wikipedia. There is also a WP:Buffyverse implementation in it with the community links replaced by important WP:BUFFY links.

Someone recently put a wikify tag on the Expanded Overview section of City of (Angel episode). Via talk pages, I asked him why, and he said it was because there were few links and it was just a really long block of unadorned text. I'm not sure what to do about it. I don't think it needs much in the way of links, as the most linkable things are already linked in the summary. So, should there be subheadings, or less plot detail, or what? -- Jwwalker 06:39, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Buffyverse is up for deletion. Appreciated if people could have a look at the article, then read through the comments at the deletion forum.
I think it could certainly do with some work, but can't see any appropiate reason in Wikipedia:Deletion policy to delete the article. I believe that the user who nominated the article for deletion ( Lesqual) is essentially arguing that because the Buffyverse already has many detailed pages, that the article for 'Buffyverse' itself is not needed. However shouldn't that logic mean we don't need a generic Star Trek article since the films and TV series already have their own pages? -- Paxomen 16:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
It's not up for deletion any more, the result was keep. -- Jwwalker 17:10, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding "Hero" (Angel episode).
Twice -- in the description of the character Allen Francis Doyle, and in the description of the episode Hero -- the same mistake is made. Those descriptions are as follows:
"The two exchanged a passionate kiss; a blue ribbon of electricity passing between them as he gave her his visions, which changed the course of her life considerably." (Wiki, description of Allen Francis Doyle)
"Then he hauls back and hits Angel, knocking him into the cargo hold. Doyle grabs Cordelia and they kiss, a blue light passing between their lips." (Wiki, description of Angel episode "Hero")
If you watch the episode (as I just did again), you will note that the "light between the lips" of Doyle and Cordelia is the brightening lamp being used by the Scourge increasing in luminosity in the background. It's a nice thought, that there would be some visible sign of the transfer of seer abilities, but it would have risked giving the important plot moment away. Check the episode and you will see that there is no outward sign, though the light and camera angle may have intended to be symbolic. This should be changed a.s.a.p.. I did not do so because I am not a regular contributor to the Buffyverse wiki.

Can someone explain to me the significance of the individual chronology templates being used on Buffy episode pages? For example, Template:Buffychron2001b. I don't see how their inclusion is at all helpful in an encyclopedic way. If anything, it's just confusing and uses up too much space. I understand what they're trying to illustrate, but I think it fails at this and just adds confusion. scarecroe 15:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Timing
{{ Buffchron96-97}}
I tried to prevent it being confusing by only using it in a section called 'Timing' (sub-section of 'Continuity'). And also saying above the chart Stories that take place around the same time in the Buffyverse:. -- Paxomen 00:24, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I find this to be a useful tool and I hope that it stays - having a comprehensive reference of how all the buffyverse sources and stories fit together is highly helpful and, I believe, appropriate. Tambourineman 20:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)tambourineman
If we have suggestions to change the chronology, where do we bring them? For instance, I'd suggest that Buffy 4x01 (The Freshman) come before rather than after Angel 1x01 (City of) because of the phone call that takes place between them (Buffy answering "Hello? Hello?" which is near the end of 4x01 but the beginning of 1x01). For this and other suggestions, where do I bring them? Kimpire 19:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I recently managed to get this image Image:Buffy The Vampire Slayer cast.jpg to be released under a free license. Unfortunately it doesn't has Sarah Michelle Gellar on it. (to make it more complete). Perhaps it also could be used to replace some fair use images of the actors in it. Since I am not much into Buffyverse or photoshop I was hoping I could delegate the work of placing it in article space and or photoshopping to this project. :) Garion96 (talk) 11:46, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Just letting people know that the article ' Buffy the Vampire Slayer' is undergoing review to be a featured article. It might even be possible to get the article on the front page on March 10th 2007, (10th anniversary of Buffy - 10 years since " Welcome to the Hellmouth" was first seen).
Any feedback you can offer to improve the article and/or to either object or support the nomination, would be wonderful. Thanks -- Paxomen 18:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

I've created a new wiki for Buffyverse content at wikiasite:buffy. It is not for encyclopedic content and doesn't aim to duplicate Wikipedia. Instead, the articles are mostly made up of trivia and quotes sections which can be expanded to include unverifiable material and original research, which wouldn't be allowed on Wikipedia. At the moment, the site doesn't have much original content since I basically took a cut down version of 700 Wikipedia articles to get it started - usually cutting out the extended episode summaries and most non-trivia sections. See the About page for more details. I hope some people from this WikiProject will join the new wiki and help to ensure it develops into a useful resource by and for fans for everything that Wikipedia can't provide. We also need some new admins there, so let me know if you'd like to volunteer for that. Angela . 15:24, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Beginning cross-post.
End cross-post. Please do not comment more in this section.
I think now might be a good time to discuss how we want to structure the episode articles. There have been some recent changes to Buffy Season 1 by User:Redsignal.
E.g. Welcome to the Hellmouth, The Witch, and most of Buffy Season 1 episodes
In brief, Redsignal is making them much shorter. This involes deleting and removing certain sections & content including 'Cut dialogue' (from Watcher's Guides or published shooting scripts), 'Arc significance', 'Writing', 'Cultural references' and 'Production details'. I think we we should try to cite and/or improve rather than delete.
I think we should make an effort to comment on these matters and reach a consensus, because there is no point in people working on episode articles, then seeing their work deleted.
Do we want to try to create, maintain and cite sections like 'Writing', 'Production details', 'Arc significance'? (Also structurally, do we want 'Music' and 'Translations' to appear as subsections within 'Production details'?) Or do we want simple short articles? -- Buffyverse 10:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
There are problems with a lot of the episode articles; the summaries are, by and large, too long. There is a lot of (at least potential) copyright issue in there. Things do definitely need to be sourced. But relevant and verifiable information should stay in. - Che Nuevara 20:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Gatorsong. I prefered the layout and the summaries before the most recent edits. In fact, the only reason I made a Wiki account was to comment on the recent changes because I couldn't find information that had been recently deleted.

Take the The Curse (Angel comic) page. That's just WAY too many images. They serve no encyclopedic use. We really need someone to go through those articles and take out the redundant images and get them deleted. It's A) not pretty and B) not necessary. Kusonaga 10:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
In the info boxes on the character pages there's a "Created by" line, but there isn't total consistency. Most just say Joss Whedon, but some say Joss and the writer of the episode the character first appeared in. So, should they all have that extra writer's name? Or none? And if Joss is there by virtue of being the creator, then I guess Greenwalt should be credited on all the Angel character pages. But if Joss is there as the Exec. Producer, then Noxon and Minear should probably make appearances too.-- Nalvage 17:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:21, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
User:KnightLago seems to be putting most of the fictional locations in the Buffyverse up for deletion as fancruft, including The White Room (Buffyverse), Hellmouth (Buffyverse), Hellmouth (Buffyverse), The Magic Box, and Caritas (Buffyverse).

The following below 4 articles have been nominated for deletion. As these articles stand now they are un-referenced (making verifiability difficult) and full of what is arguably original research. After a discussion on the varied AFD pages, we are now talking about making a single page where they may better be looked after under one roof. This would enable important locations in the Buffy world to be added and cited properly.
The proposal includes the above text, and the following:
We hereby propose redirecting the old below articles to a new single central Buffy location article, and starting anew. The new article, with a title suggested by NeilEvans of Locations in the Buffyverse, would be a new article detailing the central locations in the Buffyverse. It is our hope that by consolidating the important locations of the Buffy world we can start anew with references and proper citations. We would then redirect the articles old individual names to the new article dealing with Buffy locations.
This is a compromise proposal and a work in progress at that. It was brought here for the people who know the subject matter. Hopefully we can shape a proposal and then move forward with a consensus. I would ask for Support, Oppose, or Comment. KnightLago 21:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Support Makes sense to me. Zahir13 17:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

If people would care to assist in replacing {{ Infobox Angel Television episode}} with the parent template {{ Infobox Television episode}}, I would be very grateful. The "List of Angel episodes" link needs to be added to almost all of them btw. I also notice several articles with more then one image in the Infobox. General MoStyle rules apply just as much in these articles. One image in the infobox, the rest dispersed throughout the articles. Please make minimal use of these Fair Use images.

The page for Ben (who may be related to Glory in some way) gives his last name as "Wilkinson." What is the source for this? He is only refered to by his first name during season 5.
There was a Dr. Wilkinson in season 2's 'Killed by Death' but she is clearly not Ben.
In 'Weight of the World' we see his name tag, but it isn't clear enough to actually read. His signature on the tag clearly does begin with a 'W' but the rest of it looks like a squiggle with only one character with a full height ascender. The printed name is nearly completely illegible, but looks closer to "Williams" to me: Screen capture of name tag Don Sample 01:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
There is a special wiki-page (at ' Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests') to request for a specific featured article to be on the front page of Wikipedia, and requests can be made for specific dates. I have requested that the Buffy article be ' Today's featured article' on March 10, 2007. If it succeeds then it will be on the main page of Wikipedia on that date, which is the 10th anniversary since Buffy first aired. The anniversary has been mentioned by Whedonesquers (e.g. regarding the 10th anniversary trading cards, and here), and I think it would be great if the article does get slotted into this date. If anyone agrees that the article Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a very high-quality article that deserves to be shown on the front page on that date, then they can write Support (in bold) and a comment under the nomination, about why the article deserves to be featured - this can be done at the page, ' Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests'. E.g. the Firefly request there (for any date) currently has 5 'supports'. If some people support the nomination it will be more likely that the very busy "Featured Article Director", Raul654 takes it into account and fits the Buffy article into his 'Today's featured article' schedule for March 10.
The Angel article had some considerable improvement between the November 24 version and December 31 version, including the new images, and many completely new sections (Origins, Executive producers, Writing, Music, Setting, Format, Themes, Plot Summary, Characters, DVDs), and has continued to improve since.

In dealing with Buffy the Vampire Slayer season eight, to make sure this article comes out a very high quality, collaboration with WP:COMIC members will be necessary.

Hello, good Buffy people. You probably noticed that the category formerly known as Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast and crew has been renamed Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast members. As you might guess, this left a number of people like Jane Espenson miscategorized. I took the liberty of creating Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer writers and Category: Buffy the Vampire Slayer producers, and put people in the appropriate place. Those two accounted for most of the "crew" — Christophe Beck and Adam Shankman ended up in the parent category Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which I suppose is OK.
Anyway, in doing this cleanup I noticed that there's no category for Angel actors. Is this a deliberate omission by you folks? If it's not, someone can create it for folks like Amy Acker (who doesn't have any Angel-related categories on her page at the moment). You could also create categories for Angel writers and producers, on the model of the ones I created for Buffy. I just figured I'd let you know what I'd done and why. — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 04:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

The articles Buffyverse chronology, Buffyverse chronology (2), and Buffyverse chronology (2) are up for AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Buffyverse chronology. If anyone can add clarifying comments as to the purpose of the lists, their relation to the Buffyverse article, or possibly address the concerns raised in the nomination, please do so. A massive amount of effort seems to have gone into these three articles and although I am familiar with the canon Buffyverse, I may not be entirely qualified to make a judgment on the article, as it seems to go beyond the canon. Any clarifications at the AfD would help. Thank you, Black Falcon 05:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Since he's appeared quite a few times now in comics, would it be feasible to make a Dracula (Buffyverse) article? He's quite a notable character.~ Zythe Talk to me! 15:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
{{Infobox Buffyverse Character| Image=<!--[[Image:Dracula (Buffyverse).jpg|140px]]-->| Title=Dracula| First=[[Buffy vs. Dracula (Buffy episode)|Buffy vs. Dracula]]| Last=[[Buffy vs. Dracula (Buffy episode)|Buffy vs. Dracula]]| Creator=| Name=Dracula| Status=Undead| Affiliation= Romanov clan| Kind=Vampire | Powers=Immortality, bat/wolf transformation, and mind control.| Actor=Rudolf Martin| }}
Dracula is a vampire character, best known as the title character of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel. The character also is widely used within popular culture and is used in the Buffyverse [1], and been adopted by Joss Whedon, the creator of the fictional universe. He first appears in this regards in the Buffy episode, " Buffy vs. Dracula", and later in comics Tales of the Vampires (specifically, in " Antique"), and Spike vs. Dracula. He is also referenced in the comic, Old Times, and the novel, Blackout.
In the ( uncanon) comic, Spike vs. Dracula, it is revealed that Dracula has connections to the gypsy clan that cursed Angel with a soul. He is an acquaintance of Anya Jenkins, and Spike claims he is a sell-out of the vampire world, fond of magic and Hollywood. The vampire popularised by Bram Stoker in the Dracula novel is also used as a basis for the ideas in the show, primarily the methods in which vampires are killed. In an episode called " Buffy vs. Dracula". Buffy Summers, having "seen his movies", waits after first killing him, noting that he "always comes back".
It has been mentioned on the appropiate talk page already but I felt it is also worth alerting the WikProBuff. The featured article, Buffy the Vampire Slayer will be on the front page of Wikipedia on March 10, which is exactly 10 years after the premiere Buffy episode was first aired on March 10, 1997. It will be worth keeping this article in top-notch condition and vandalism-free. Howver it may also be good to make sure all of our articles as good as possible around this time, as traffic on Buffy articles maybe significantly higher than usual as newbies read the Buffy article and click on related wikilinks. I'd guess that related articles with highest traffic might include:
The article which I believe would benefit most in the next few days from some work is the '
Joss Whedon' one, which has been rated only 'Start-Class' on the talk page. It also has been given the tag "contains original research or unattributed claims". It'd be great if this article received some more attention and was brought up to a higher standard by project members before March 10. For examples of good (featured) articles of TV/film execitives, potential templated that the 'Whedon' article could follow, see
James T. Aubrey, Jr.,

There are two articles Glorificus and The Beast (Buffyverse). I don't know much about the series (I patrol Beast (disambiguation)). Are these two the same character. Are there two "The Beast"s in the buffyverse? Someone made a link to Glorificus from Beast (disambiguation), and I've changed it to The Beast (Buffyverse). So, that should be resolved there I think, either with a hatnote or something else. I won't be watching this page, but if you have any questions, let me know on my talk page or on the beast dab page.

Now that the first issue of Season Eight has come out, "The Long Way Home, Part 1," what do we do regarding the pages of characters appearing in said issue when it comes to "last appearances"? For example, does the "Last appearance" section on Buffy's page go from "Chosen" to "The Long Way Home, Part 1"?
Considering the comic is canon, I think this is something to consider, but I wanted to ask before doing so.
If we do agree to do so, this should be done for Buffy, Xander, Dawn, and Amy. - Whedonite 17:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
what about the one-offs then? after TLWH, whedon will write one issue that will be a one-off before the new arc starts... should we have a one-off page to put all of those instead of making their own pages?! - Xornok 19:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Potential and new Slayers needs splitting into Potential Slayers and New Slayers since they're too different things and the various characters like Rowenna and Leah may eventually require coverage. I think that explaining what a Potential is and who the new Slayers are on one page is very, very confusing. They'd work better as two separate articles, one describing what a Potential is and ending with how "Chosen" changed the rules, and another about what a new Slayer is, why they're there, briefly mentioning the old Potential system and moving onto list the new Slayers...~ Zythe Talk to me!
Please edit User:Zythe/Template:Buffychrons8 until we get something final. Add anything you think of to the bottom as a new potential template. Obviously we can't use anything yet because only s8 #1 is out, but still.~ Zythe Talk to me! 22:56, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello all, I recently made my first venture into Wikipedia editing after trying and failing to find information on Buffy's Scythe.
In short, I edited the Slayer (Buffyverse) article to include a section on Weapons and Equipment. After a quick overview of stakes and the like, I added information on the Scythe based on information from the S7 episodes in which it appears and the Fray comic. After that, I decided that Nikki Wood's "Slayer Emergency Kit" was noteworthy, and included it as well.
Lastly, I decided that the entire article was rather messy, so I decided to "be bold" and make some rather drastic edits. I pared the information in the article down to just what I thought was relevant to the Slayer mythos, removing some of the more Buffy-centric facts and generally clearing out what I felt was unnecessary or redundant information.
I'm pretty happy with the result, but wanted to make those of you who aren't newbies aware of the changes, in case there's anything you wanted to add. -- Jeff-El 21:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I have no idea if this is the actual discussion page to ask this question, but how do I go on about joining WP:Buffy? I've been contributing with images and as much info as I know to many Buffyverse articles, helping with vandalism, etc. for a while now, so I figured I might be a good addition to the team.-- The Scourge 14:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Should the articles feature scans of what the characters look like now in Season Eight? I imagine Amy, Dawn, Buffy, Xander, Willow etc. are all candidates. Should we treat the Post-Sunnydale section as we would a comics article? ~ Zythe Talk to me! 17:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I dug out my DVDs and grabbed captures of Angel's "Van-Tal" face on Pylea, as well as a vampire being "dusted" (Angel, as a matter of fact) for the Vampire entry. I also used the existing server pictures of Spike's vamp face and The Master to illustrate a traditional vampire and an old vampire, respectively.
I feel that these are all the pictures necessary to the understanding of the Vampire article.
Please let me know if I did anything inappropriate with the pictures, I'm not too familiar with usage rules and would rather not get into trouble. -- Jeff-El 01:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
I know it's been suggested before, but I'd like to propose that the articles for " Watcher" and " Watchers' Council" be merged.
I just finished cleaning up the Council page considerably, and when I did so I added the information from the "Watcher" article. It seems pretty redundant to me to maintain both articles, and I think that adding information on what a Watcher is into the Council article is the way to go.
I'm really not sure how to formally suggest this, but please let me know what you think. -- Jeff-El 03:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Our list of participants has over 80 names on it, however not everyone on the list is still an active member. Following the example of some of the other effective WikiProjects I feel it maybe useful for this Project to have a "Roll Call" (e.g. see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Star Wars#November/December Roll call). If anyone objects to this, then the idea can be abandoned.
Everyone who wishes to continue to be an active member of WikiProject Buffyverse could list their names below and optionally mention any special interests they have for the project (e.g. images, episode articles..), or if they are a more general editor. They can also optionally mention anything they have recently been up to.
In mid-April I will put a message on the talk pages of those who have not yet signed on. Those who still have not signed by the end of April could be put on a past members list, they can rejoin if/whenever they wish. I think those inactive members who made big contributions could perhap be awarded with the Buffyverse Barnstar.
After this we will have a more useful list of active members and maybe some info on their special interests. This could help for editors to work together and motivate each other on relevant tasks. E.g. if a newer member of the project was looking for assistance on improving episode articles, they would know who might be interested in helping/collaborating. I'll get the ball rolling by starting the list. -- Paxomen 13:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

There is talk of merging Dawn's page into a list of characters page. I think this is pretty ridiculous, when you think how many minor Buffy characters have their own page, but the problem seems to be that she hasn't had enough of a cultural impact to be relevant. If anyone knows any websites or magazine articles which mention Dawn, please put them on the page to save her! Paul730 21:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

In Season Eight, Giles comments would indicate that Buffy and Xander's organisation seems to be the next stage of evolution of the Watcher's Council, now under their command... or at least, based upon the remnants of it.

The WikiProject Television episode coverage taskforce have recently been working on a review process for episode articles. There are a rash of articles about individual episodes which fail notability, and are unlikely to ever reach such requirements. Many contributors are unaware of the specific guidelines to assess notability in episode pages: Wikipedia:Television episodes. We have expanded these guidelines to make them more helpful and explanatory, and we invite you to read the guidelines, and make any comments on its talk page. After much discussion, we have created a proposed review process for dealing with problem articles. See: Wikipedia:Television article review process. We invite discussion of this process on its talk page. General comments about this whole process are welcome at the episode coverage taskforce talkpage. Thanks! Gwinva 10:13, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Not really sure where to ask about this, so I figured here might be a good starting point. If somebody knows a better place, I'll happily move. Anyhow, this is in regards to the timeline that appears at the bottom of pages for each of the season 1 episodes. It begins with "Welcome to the Hellmouth" taking place in the fall of 1996. I was under the impression that Buffy was a mid-year transfer student, arriving at Sunnydale High at the beginning of the second semester, which would be Spring 1997. This would fall in line with the show running only half a season, beginning with the first episode also airing in the Spring of 1997. Not to mention that there's no cold weather episodes, like there are during the subsequent (full) seasons (which would denote Winter), and would also fit with the appearance that school was already underway when she got there (included in such elements as Buffy being the only student who didn't know where her classes were, or that needed textbooks, etc.). Is there something somewhere that instead denotes Buffy having put in a full year at Sunnydale High for her sophomore year, or do others agree with me that Buffy was a mid-year transfer student? And if others agree that the timeline needs to be corrected, is there a simple way to make the changes across the board, or is the best way still to make the changes to one episode and then copy and paste it into the other 12? Nolefan32 01:11, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I recently had an online discussion about this topic. Cordelia says in the computer lab during "The Harvest" that it is Friday. That same day, Joyce mentions it is Buffy's second day at school. The first waning crescent moon after the winter solstice occures on Wednesday, January 10. However, if one considers that the crescent moon actually begins the moment a new moon ends, meaning the new moon lasts as long as, say, an eclipse in cosmic terms, then the very first sliver of the waning crescent would begin on Saturday, January 6th. This might be enough to fullfill the phrophecy form which Giles is reading. Backtracking form that to the day Buffy first arrives at Sunnydale High, that would put it on Thursday, January 4th. (Possibly the first day back for everyone after the 95 Christmas vacation.) Furthermore, if one assumes that the events with Darla at the very beginning of the episode take place before midnight the night before, then the series can be said to begin on Wednesday, January 3rd, 1996. So, pending an investigation into that opening scene (to see if any clocks are seen to see what time it says, or dialogue hints) the series probably either begins on the 3rd or 4th of January, 1996 - provided one accepts my theory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.211.101.59 ( talk) 15:32, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
The Buffy movie is included in the same timeline I mentioned above as taking place summer 1996. That's an odd attempt to retrofit the movie to the series, especially considering that the movie is still considered non-canonical even in the timeline. Seems to me the movie should be deleted, or at least reflect it's correct timing based on its release (Spring 1992). The Origin comic, considering it's purpose actually is to retrofit the movie to the series, can remain 1996 to lead in to the series (though it really should be Spring 1996, not Summer 1996, since it takes place during the school year and the students would be on vacation if it really were Summer it was taking place).

I'm new here. I'm not sure if this is where I should be posting this. I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place. I notice that in Doctor Who articles it is noted in the articles when the canonicity of something is debated. In the case of the Buffy stuff I think the Buffyverse Canon and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight articles should note that many people don't feel the season 8 comics are canon and don't feel anything that's not onscreen is canon. This is a major area of fan opinion and I think it should be noted. I am not saying the articles shouldn't say the comic is canon, only that I think the differing opinion should be mentioned as well, seeing as so many people hold it. Certainly I think an article discussing what's considered canon in the Buffyverse should note a viewpoint a large quantity of fans hold on that. It is after all the rule so many Buffyverse fans go by. There are obviously different definitions of canon and I think that should be noted, with reference to the widely held only-onscreen-is-canon view. (I have also put notes on the talk pages of the relevant articles, so as to put the info where it's relevant. I hope that doesn't count as spamming.) Skynowmore 21:14, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
This has been raised on the Children of the Senior Partners talk page, but I think it needs to be seen by a few more eyeballs. The article as it is is rather short an pointless...let's face it, we've only seen two of them before and information on them is scarce at best. I certainly don't think they qualify as "key terminology" in the navigation template.In my opinion, the whole thing could/should be merged into the existing Senior Partners article.

There is a Lois and Clark Episode called That Old Gang of Mine, and everytime I try and connect to that page directly, I get the Angel page.

I'm starting to get annoyed with the ever-growing list of relationships on the Buffyverse pages. As someone who's guilty of contributing to them, they're too fannish to have any real encyclopedic value and are a breeding ground for pointless trivia and OR. Also, it's not made clear what constitutes a notable relationship. After all; Spike and Anya's one night stand should be included in romantic/sexual relationships. But really, Spike has more of a relationship with Dawn, albeit a platonic one. But then, he also has a strong relationship with Xander, even if is based on hate, so shouldn't that be in there as well? What purpose do they actually serve?
I propose that all "Other relationships" be deleted completely, and "romantic/sexual" sections be drastically reduced. Rather than list every moment of two characters' relationship, briefly state their feelings for each other, and cite any crucial episodes. For example:
should become
Also, do people like Jeffery, Tyler, Owen, Tom, and Scott even deserve a mention on Buffy's page? She dated them for like two seconds! I think her list should be limited to Angel, Riley and Spike, with brief mention of Pike and Xander. How do other people think these sections should be handled? Paul730 17:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Could I just ask - how come Gavin Park has materialised on the Great Big Buffyverse Box of Death, when his article itself says that he is "one of the most marginal recurring characters"? Why do something like this when he might not be around for much longer... if you don't mind me asking. NP Chilla 22:11, 28 May 2006 (UTC) (from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Buffyverse#Wolfram & Hart employees)
In my opinion, Jasmine does belong in the box. She's the villain of Season 4. Both Hamilton and Eve are major characters in Season 5, despite their number of appereances.
At the moment the template:Buffyversenav has only 2 rows for each category (at least on my screen - is that the case for everyone else?). IMO it should stay that way, rather than get bigger going into three rows and making the whole box bigger. IMO if we add another character, we could remove one already there? What are peeps thoughts. -- Paxomen 17:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that Amy is listed in the main character directory as a reccuring character, but not on the bar at the bottom of the page. Is there a reason for this, or is it an oversight? She has her own article, it just takes a while to get there. I reccomend she be added to the people directory, because by standard of comparison she's probably been in more episodes than Eve. If I've overlooked something I appologize in advance, I just had trouble finding her today. -- Unsigned comment from: User:MaskedScissorDoll 16:51, 1 August 2006
Someone without a user account is consistently editing the "People" section of the Navigation template to include a highly irrelevant character, namely Scott Hope. Discussion on the talk page has so far reached a consensus that this character shouldn't be in the template, but this individual either hasn't read it, or isn't interested. I'd rather not get into a revert war over this, but am unsure as to the proper course of action. Jeff-El 00:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Over the last few weeks I've been quietly overhauling the Wolfram & Hart article. I think it now contains a comprehensive, well-referenced, but brief(ish), description of the company and its role in the series. I've also added a couple of real-world production details, but I think this is the section that needs expanding now. With a little more work, I hope it can be seen as an example of how more of the organization articles should look. -- Jeff-El 19:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
It is time to move this article to List of minor Angel characters, which is more in-line with the Buffy character articles. Beyond that, in its current state, most of the characters on the list are already mentioned in List of Angel characters, which is why those characters need to go and the article needs to be renamed to properly reflect the purpose of the article.

It's recently come to my attention that a lot of characters don't fit notability guidelines, and should just be integrated into lists. Really, characters like Cyvus Vail, who have appeared in just three episodes, really don't deserve their own article, and this applies to A LOT of characters that currently have articles. Kusonaga 21:34, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
I've already begun the work of integrating some characters into the List of Angel characters, in tune with what I've mentioned above. The Angel series is currently what I'm focusing on. I'm not going to redirect the articles right now, but I will start doing so in about a week, which I think is enough time for people to read this. If people are opposed to this, please state so under the comments section, with clear and pertinent arguments. Thank you. Kusonaga 12:07, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I actually just want to say that I support you completely. It needs to be done. -- Jeff-El 13:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
