[edit] Son and Grandson

I know the above notice says to direct comments toward the Buffyverse talk page, but that page seems to be about the Big Issues, and not about minor corrections. I just wanted to point out that, contrary to the past version of this article, it is stated explicitly that Wilkins did indeed masquerade as his own son and grandson; Oz says observes he's the "same exact guy" while the Scoobies look at a 19th Century photo of the Mayor.

It's in one of the two last eps of season 3. (Enemies, actually)

[edit] Excessive linking

Please try to avoid linking to words that can be looked up easily on Wikipedia and elsewhere. They distract readers.

[edit] To Do items

"The characters are not related, as Firefly is not part of Whedon's Buffyverse" needs to be rephrased. One does not imply the other. Xiner 15:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ==

I so didn't realize that an aricle about the Mayor already existed. I only wrote the second one because I stumbled upon a link for Mayor Wilkins that was red, indicating that an article needed to be made. I should have searched more thuroughly before writing one. I really like my article, however the older one is much more detailed. I would love to work with someone on merging the two. luckykitty89

Wasn't the library blown up with an ANFO bomb? I don't have the DVDs with me, but I think we see Oz and Willow delivering sacks of fertilizer

[edit] Edna's name

Was the Mayor's wife named Edna May or Edna Mae? The shooting script uses the latter; does May appear anywhere semi-official, e.g., in the "Choices" subtitles or the comics? -- Hqb 19:24, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

It's spelled "May" in No Future For You, Part 4, so I'm going to change it to that. It's a minor concern, anyway. -- Noneofyourbusiness (talk) 18:16, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Buffyep56.jpg

Image:Buffyep56.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Typo in quote?

In the Writing and acting section, first bullet, Groener is quoted saying "parts that corrupts". Is this a typo on Wiki, or is this the actual quote? If it's the actual quote, do we need a [sic] for the improper grammar? I don't have a copy of the cited magazine, so I can't check. -- Supāsaru 23:39, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Repetition

The following is repeated in the article:

Unlike many Buffy villains, Mayor Wilkins had quite a pleasant demeanor. A family man with an aversion to swearing, he nearly always wore a smile on his face.

I would like to get rid of it. --Maurice45 (talk) 20:39, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
