Alright; I've finished moving this over from the main DW page, and also reordered it some (DW1 characters are listed first in alphabetical order, then DW2, DW3, and so on).

It still needs significant cleanup - there's an awful lot of fancruft in here. UOSSReiska 21:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I will try to clean it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whopper (talk • contribs)

This, by the way, seems to be written as though the writer was playing Dynasty Warriors 3 (Fan Shui, You Ting) Cao Wei 23:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Generics

Why are generic officers not listed here?

Largely in the interest of brevity, as well as their lack of anything setting them apart. If one were to list all the generics, you'd easily have a few hundred entries, and they all fight exactly like one of three or four of the main characters (forget which exactly). There are a few generics that might be worth including, because they actually get speaking lines (Liu Zhang, Yuan Shu, etc.), though. UOSSReiska 12:06, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Not really, if anyone wants to learn about those people they would just go to their articles. _dk 16:25, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

A list of generics would be useful. I know this because I want to use it, and I am an encyclopedia user, am I not? Samurai Warriors has one.

[edit] Xtreme Legends Battles

Why are no battles from Xtreme Legends games mentioned in notable battles for characters?--76.103.233.244 21:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

The notable battles section just lists level from the characters musou in DW5. XL battle are not in any musou, and DW2-DW4 battles are not mentioned as well. THe way it is now keeps it short but to the point. --EveryDayJoe45 16:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image removal

Please see Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2007-05-07/Fair use images in list like this are not acceptable under our non-free policy. βcommand 04:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

this really is not a good reason (posting a link), but i gues at least you added to the discussion, so i'll finally leave your edits alone. --EveryDayJoe45 03:36, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Time for de-laundry listing

As of now, all of the information pertaining to weapons used and whatnot will be removed; such information is crufty and considered laundry lists. Consult WP:NOT as well. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 06:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In-universe state an original research

This article appears to be very in-universe and consisting of large bits of OR. Perhaps an out-of-universe section can be added to the article to enhance appearance and justify its existence? ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 06:31, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Look closer and you'll see it's currently in the process of an overhaul. Check the history and you'll find I've added a considerable number of references to some of the characters. If you'd like to help by adding an out-of-universe introduction (such as can be found at List of Metal Gear Solid characters or Characters of Final Fantasy VIII) please do so. Until I have more time away from life, and as long as I am the only person permanently involved in this overhaul, it's gonna take awhile, so please have patience.

Good to hear. At the time of that posting, I had just stumbled across the article, so I didn't really check the edit history. If I can help, I will. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 16:37, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Careful... considering the scope of the task at hand, I might just hold you to that :) Gamer Junkie T / C 17:15, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
