James Bond
Sourcing Bond
Y'know, I'm waiting for the day when someone starts asking people to provide sources when they say the earth is round.(See the discussion/revert situation going on at the main Bond article). I ended up deleting one of my articles because a guy kept insisting I provide a source for a book synopsis when the book was the source. 23skidoo 18:45, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Bond 22
Yeah we don't need a link yet (force of habit), but we should keep an eye open because if the CommanderBond.net article is correct EON might be planning a quick turn-around between Casino Royale and Bond 22 (maybe in hopes of retaining the "early Bond" idea?). If they announce a Bond 22 title even before CR comes out -- or even enters production, at this rate -- an article will be warranted. It'll be very interesting to see if EON decides to do a remake of Live and Let Die next. Although I doubt a "faithful" adaptation of the book is possible today it would be a strong sign that the powers that be are planning to follow the book series. 23skidoo 17:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Gunbarrel
I noticed the change but haven't had time to check it out. I'm concerned that it might be considered too specific and might attract AFD. I certainly don't think it needs to have its own article. Maybe the guy thought the main article was too long - I'm going to have to deal with the decimation of William S. Burroughs by a user who feels Wikipedia articles need to be no longer than print encyclopedia articles... Anyway if you want to undo what the fellow did re:gunbarrel I'm with you, unless the guy plans to add reams of info about the sequence. 23skidoo 18:28, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Cecile de France
I see the rumor mill is moving fast and furious (I noted the thread at Commander Bond on this one). Actually I'm rooting for Cecile to get it. I don't know her work very well but I think she'd make a good choice anyway -- and one that wouldn't overshadow Craig. It would also be a nice return to the series using relatively obscure European actresses which was a hallmark of the films in the 1960s but fell off somewhat in later years. 23skidoo 15:54, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- I decided to add a reference to the Dark Horizons (not IMDb) report to the unconfirmed cast section, before someone else goes and posts that she has already been cast in the part... 23skidoo 16:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Men who would be Bond
You probably saw the Commander Bond feature in which they "officially" unveil what they believe to be the finalists list for Bond. Aside from having a few names that aren't included in the search timeline, CB's article apparently debunks that the likes of Owen, Jackman, etc. were ever even considered. How much stock do you put in this? If this is accurate, maybe the Search Timeline can be trimmed with the likes of Owen, Jackman, McGregor, etc. reduced to "rumor only". Thoughts? 23skidoo 20:46, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
The Man who was "M"
Sure, a book that was published last year that dealt in some depth on his life and carrear. I'll look around for it and see what I can come up with. Mind you, I think I may have confused the relevant British security forces. By the way, this is a damm cool page you've got here. Nice one! Fergananim 00:50, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Bond, just to get back to you on the above: the book is "M: MI5's First Spymaster", by Andrew Cook, published 2004; ISBN 0 7524 2896 9. Fergananim 17:29, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Finest Hour image
I was going to delete Image:Finest hour01.jpg, but i noticed you uploaded it originally, so I'll let you decide if it can go in the article or to be deleted by yourself. Thunderbrand 15:41, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
English-born James Bond actors
Hi there. What is the significance of the distinction you're making about where the various actors were born, as compared with their nationality? So what if Timothy Dalton was born in Wales? He had English parents, he's spent almost all his life in England, and he is indisputably an English actor. I know this section is about "trivia", but it seems you're making it even more trivial than it needs to be. What if Connery just happened to have been born in Finland, or Lazenby in New Zealand, or Craig in Peru? They'd still be considered Scottish, Australian and English actors respectively. Cheers JackofOz 06:08, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi. Don't know about Bond being Scottish in the Ian Fleming novels. They were written well before Connery came on the scene, so I don't see how they could have been written "in hommage" to Connery. I think the point is that Bond is a British secret agent who works for MI5, which is a British organisation. It is not specifically English, just because its headquarters happen to be in London. The relevance of the actors who play Bond being English, as opposed to Welsh, Scottish, or Northern Irish, escapes me. All of the actors who've played Bond have been British, except for Lazenby, an Australian. The bullet probably deserves a good Christian burial. Cheers JackofOz 06:48, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
- You're spot on about Pierce Brosnan, thanks. That's something I've learned today about him (and he's not even Irish anymore, he's American). We'll have to agree to disagree about the British/English thing. Cheers JackofOz 07:10, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Shannon Rutherford problem
Hello. Just wanted to let you know that there's this new editor at the Shannon Rutherford page who's introducing speculation, which I removed, and which he then returns to the page while claiming I'm not NPOV. His entry, which he also added at the page for Sawyer (and his own edit summary admits is speculation) and mine follow:
- His entry: Shannon was shot in the chest by Ana-Lucia in Abandoned while she was chasing Walt with Sayid. She was mistaken by Ana-Lucia as being one of 'the others'. Although it is not known if she is dead or alive, the teasers have said that one person will be lost forever in this episode. However, this could also refer to Sawyer who passed out while travelling through the jungle and had to be carried on a stretcher until his group heard whispers and bolted. Due to the title of the episode and the fact that Sawyer was abandoned by the group, it is very likely that Sawyer is the one who will be lost even though he is among the most popular characters on the show.
- My entry: Shannon was shot in the chest by Ana-Lucia in Abandoned while she was chasing Walt with Sayid. She was mistaken by Ana-Lucia as being one of 'the others'. It is not yet known if she will survive her wounds.
As far as I can tell, my entry was both NPoV and non-speculative. I'm not about to start an edit war, but I do feel that being badmouthed in an edit summary (which reads "reverted to previous version due to editor's lack of NPOV"), especially after I've worked very hard to keep the pages NPoV, is an insult and an infringement of the Wikipedia etiquette policy. I'm coming to you, since you're an admin I'm familiar with and trust to provide some advice on how to proceed. Thanks. Baryonyx 08:39, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
- Update: seems to have been resolved. If you have any comments about anything, please feel free to add them. Thanks! Baryonyx 09:57, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Video game console picture
Hi there, it's been almost a month and (after completely forgetting it, too) I've noticed you never replied to my proposal for a header picture for the article (as discussed here). wS;✉ 10:04, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
