Tried to tighten up the references and paragraphs down to just three. Gonna slim them down some more as I go along, but I do think displaying the lead actor for each role is important (if it's bad style though, I can move those to the main body of the paragraphs). -CaptainNtheGameMaster (talk) 18:41, 7 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Resolving the Multiple issues

edit

On dealing with the articles current issues, I don't think finding sources will be difficult (something can probably be brought over from the main films' articles etc.). However, I'd like some help in regards to the "in-universe" problem since I'm not sure what it refers to (is there something wrong with the wording, all the info should be accurate).

Also, can I inquire what makes this article confusing? I think it's fairly straight-forward: there's three divisions with each character having a title under the appropriate division. Are the divisions not clear enough? Should character names not pop-up in the table of contents? Any suggestions are welcome. -CaptainNtheGameMaster (talk) 13:34, 12 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sorry to return to such an old problem but can someone clarify what is meant by this complaint about the article being confusing:
"Is this about the franchise, or a list of characters, or differing plots? It is all merged into a confusing mish mash at the moment."
I can't for the death of me fathom how anyone could find the article (considering the rather modest amount of text on it) confusing. Yes, character plot details, character characterisations and creative details are currently fused under each header but without a.) creating bullet-points or b.) segmenting these segments further (which would honestly look terrible), I don't see how else to do this article differently without getting complaints (as there were at the start) about too many paragraph-splits. These types of character list articles are abundant on Wikipedia. So could someone please give a suggestion on how to deal with the issue? --CaptainNtheGameMaster (talk) 19:44, 15 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
