Hi, is there a rule calling "speculation" anything that's not already happened in a fiction series even though it's 100% sure (like the fact that James Marsters will be a regular member of the cast of Angel next year)?

It's a real question, I'm not being polemical, I just wonder, since I've tried to find such rule in the FAQ's but I haven't succeded. If there is no such rule, I think that we can add the information, it's on the WB site, and both Joss Whedon and James Marsters have talked about it in interviews several times.

Well, getting no answer I guess I'll revert to my previous entry... feel free to delete it again if there is something wrong with it! (Well, this sentence was kind of useless, of course :-) )Lazarus Long 09:56 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)

In an article of Dreamwatch magazine (issue 137 february 2006)the former "Buffy" producers and creator Joss Whedon indicates a plan for a series of (made-for-DVD) movie-length productions. Although nothing have been finalised Whedon confirms that plans are developing for a new Buffy spin-off project featuring James Marsters' vampire Spike. I, for one, hopes that this project will be completed and I'll promise to be first in line to buy the DVDs that continues telling the fascinating stories from Joss Whedons alternative universe. carime borjestedt 22:02 12 Jan 2006 (CET)

[edit] Is the name written correctly?

I Thought it's spelled Masters without the firs r.

Its : James....M A R S T E R S!!!...

[edit] Near-flawless English accent?

"Marsters' accent as the character was near-flawless; even some English people thought he was English."

Speaking as someone who is English I wouldn't say Marsters accent in BTVS/Angel was "near flawless". Whilst his accent was nowhere near as ridiculous as Molly's, it was still pretty contrived. Alexis Denisof (Wesley) on the other hand managed to pull off a pretty much faultless English accent, and it wasn't until recently that I discovered to my surprise he wasn't actually British, yet his article makes no mention of his accent at all. Just wondering basically whether it's valid in this article? --Durzel 09:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Seems to me like this article needs a notability check. I don't know that what amount to set lists from gigs featuring songs that have never been released are notable enough to be listed here... Anyone? -Porlob 19:00, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marital Status

Anyone know? 204.112.159.180 01:03, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Divorced, unmarried, one kid, but there's not enough on the net about it. *shrugs*

[edit] Northern Exposure

He was in two episodes of Northern Exposure, earlier on as a very small speaking part as a hotel bellboy and then afterwards as the minister. I'm fairly sure he is credited for both on IMDB. 203.206.102.171 15:46, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dad?

It says here[1] that Marsters has a son, born in 1996, with his ex-wife Liane Davidson. Just wondering if this is true, since the site appears to be edited by anyone, and contains no sources. Paul730 06:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] copyright?

i dont know the full wiki rules but most of the stuff in this page is a complete copy and paste from james marsters official website and sounds overly fangurly. Postmoderner 22:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Acting Roles

I was looking for a list of roles James Masters has been in and was surprised not to find one as almost every other actors page that i have seen has one apart from Stub pages or pages where the actor has only had one or two roles but given the amount of things he has been in and the amount that has been written about him i was hoping there would be one. I would do one my self but i don't know what hes been in --58.169.217.143 (talk) 11:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I made a couple minor changes to the para. about Torchwood. (changed "starred" to "guest starred" and made it generally sound better.) Feel free to revert if not acceptable. Also the sentence "He has also stated that he will return for the third series."... this seems to me something that should be cited. Is it? Hstrypcfr (talk) 23:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Date Order

Under Filmography for Television, everything is listed in order by date. I'm curious if the way it's set up is correct, though. Wouldn't something that was from 2005-2008 come before something that occurred only in 2008 rather than after? Or is there an ordering rule here that I wasn't previously aware of.

(This question is more out of curiousity rather than a desire to change to order on the page; I just figured it couldn't hurt to ask here.) Sleepsong (talk) 05:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

• I'm not aware of a rule, but it does make it look better so I've changed it. Thanks for the input! IndulgentReader (talk) 23:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
