Talk:Barney Stinson

His "physical abilities" should not not include "punching through a wall." Knocking off plaster that is in front of a brick wall is... well, there is actually nothing easier than doing that.

Illusion

The Episode Single Stamina is S02E10 and not S03E08. And there is no sign of magic or illusion whatsoever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.113.121.147 (talk) 09:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Mystery

Is there any indication that Barney could be based on Mystery_(pickup_artist)? Shares many similar traits, such as making up rules about picking up, teaching people to live, being interested in magic, using the term "wingman", stuff like that. Methulah (talk) 09:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I feel it is more likely just picking up on the common aspects that are well known in popular culture (for instance, most people know already what "wingman" means without having heard of Mystery) Mathmo ^Talk 08:07, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Article revamp

I just revamped the article with sources, per WP:RS and WP:V. I also heavily trimmed the amount of plot summary per WP:NOT#PLOT. The article shouldn't be so heavily detailed on minor plot points but should instead focus on the real-world notability of the character, with enough plot to make sense.

Should it be included that Barney apparently speaks Korean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.10.196.191 (talk) 21:13, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Naming

Please note that WP guidelines state that in a biographical article (even a biography of a fictional character), last names should be used and not first names. This is to make it have a more encyclopedic tone. Karanacs (talk) 13:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Book

Can anyone update to include the new book? http://www.amazon.com/Bro-Code-Barney-Stinson/dp/143911000X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228237139&sr=8-1 tx

Done, I grabbed a copy of the citation off the main How I Met Your Mother article. -- Horkana (talk) 07:01, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Spouse

Why is Wendy the waitress listed as his spouse? Although they hooked up there is no mention whatsoever that they were at some point married. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.69.1.35 (talk) 23:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Barney's blog

No mention of his blog? Must have been a different article I was thinking of, wanted to add a source, the Chicago Tribune says Matthew Kuhn writers Barneys' blog. "Matthew Kuhn, who has written Barney’s blog for the CBS Web site for the past three years." Would be nice to add something about the blog and without it being too much in universe. -- Horkana (talk) 07:01, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Casting

FutonCritic has a transcript from a panel discussion after the 100th episode and Alyson Hannigan mentions Neils audition for Barney and how he bounced off the wall. I think this was mentioned in the article before (or possible one of the related articles and not this one) but removed for lack of sources. Will try to add it back in later. -- Horkana (talk) 17:06, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Unnamed Sister

Barney has no sister. He was just using that as a lie to have sex. If Barney had a sister, he would have mentioned her whenever he mentioned James. It's just James and him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.124.9.30 (talk) 04:12, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
