[edit] Jesus not a character

Should Jesus be listed as a character? It sounds like he appears in the last book, and has a significant role. JohnWhitlock 19:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jonathan Stonagal

Not sure Jonathan Stonagal and also "Cauthren" (can't remember the spelling) should really be listed as GC members aren't the faw too early in the plot to be considered so. Should they not be "Others". :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 09:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] this template is in need of reform

This template is HUGE. The template is larger than most of the articles it links too! Not only that, but should most of these characters have their own articles? Maybe major characters, yes, but there's so many minor characters on this list. I'll go sniffing around the WP:MOS to see if there's anything on nav templates, but I'm pretty sure this is breaking some kind of style guideline. Lets make this better! -- Ned Scott 01:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't disagree with the size issue, however I think most of the characters should stay although perhaps some of the minor ones can be merged to a "group" article, something like "Minor Tribulation Force characters" and "Minor Global Community characters". They could be referenced from the template agreed on still but direct into the appropriate section. On the template size two thoughts occur, This appears to use loads of space dues to it being basically a four column table, if this was dispensed with (using punctuation instead) it would save a great deal of space. The other approach would be to have a "main template which mention groups and go to the individual references from those articles, perhaps with templates for each group something like "{{Tribulation Force characters}}". :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 09:41, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

It is a little large. Anyone have any ideas to shrink it? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 21:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

yes, as mentioned above, any MORE ideas!?:: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 11:44, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I have resized the template - even leaving it as a table - six to a line rather than 4. Hope that helps. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 16:24, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

This is indeed much better. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 17:25, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Changed again by someone - all I have done now is to center/centre the information. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 16:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Looks good but Anis shouldn't be in there. He is an angel,not a Trib Force member. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 22:51, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use image

I removed the Left Behind cover, as it was a violation of Wikipedia's fair use policy. Please remember that fair use images can only be used in the article main spaces (the main page though is an exception).--TBCΦtalk? 07:50, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
