Leopold

[GD_Elite]

Honestly, I wouldn't have made this page. But since it is here, I think that this page should be renamed to just Leopold so that it fits in with all the other character pages, that are only known by first names. The full name is in other sections of the article anyway.

The old man is an identifiable character who spoke. That certainly warrants a page in my opinion. I honestly thought there already was a page for him which is why I was so confused when Arthur made it.

I agree that the name should be changed to just Leopold. So I'll do that and later tonight when I'm not at work I'll create the redirect from The Old Man.

Wasn't he presumably forced by michael to help Pegs in the garden after nobody else came forward? It seems silly to either presume he was a gardener in his earlier life or not reflect this somewhere on the page, just my 2cents.

When the new arrivals came, one of them was a gardener. When Michael sees that Pegs is alone on the roof, he says he knows that there was a gardenener who would be able to help her. Next time we visit the roof, Leopold is there too. That is why I presumed he was a gardener. If you think that information needs to be added to the page, be my guest.

The old man is an identifiable character who spoke. That certainly warrants a page in my opinion.

So I'm wondering to what extent we do this. Do we make a page for every character that gets a mention? James from the other tower, Poncho, Sam, that maller who got burned (forgot his name - Johnny?)?

What happens, if the story takes a turn and a few of the unnamed characters die, and we aren't sure if Leopold is dead? Is it worth making a page for all of the unnamed characters now in case ready for when something happens to them?

Basically, what I want to know is where do we draw the line as to who gets a page?

if the characters do something distinctive, they get a page, or maybe they don't. Its a wiki. It's user controlled and can be modified by anyone who feels like it.

How about this as the standard: contribute what you feel is necessary. Others will do the same. If the staff feel like a page is unnecessary, we will delete it. Show specific wikis can include as much or as little detail as the community wants.

Coolio. Sorry if I sound like I'm being a pain. It just helps me to know what the community wants so that I can get my head around it easier.

What you've been doing has been great. Especially finding articles that need to be created that haven't been yet (I'd wager over half the contributions you've made I thought already existed, but didn't yet). If you aren't sure a page needs to be created, you can pose the question in the wiki help thread. Otherwise, keep doing what you're doing.
