[edit] Cleanup Character Information

This doesn't really need cleaning up, just additions but I couldn't find a relevant template. So far Day/Series/Season 1 is there but not days 2 or 3. Could someone who knows 24 better than me add some more info? Thanks Fantom 21:31, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Age: 20's

Is adding now considering "original research"? Her age was stated in the House Subcommittee Report on the Activities of CTU episode guide after Season 1, as 17. We know that season 5 happens approximately 7 years after season 1 (per adding the time lines between seasons). Where are the sources for all the other characters ages? Readdded.

Making that kind of assumption is considered original research. You must find a verifiable source that explicitly gives her age before you can add it. This is a very cut and dry issue. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 13:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

The verifiable source is above: 24: The House Special Subcommittee's Findings at CTU, author Marc A. Cerasini. I hope that is made clear and we can put this issue to rest. Calwatch 23:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't think you understand. Let me quote the part of WP:OR you are violating: Original research is a term used on Wikipedia to refer to ... any new interpretation, analysis, or synthesis of published data. That is exactly what you are doing here. If you have no further objections I would like to remove this speculation. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 00:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I have to continue to object here, as all references to age for all of the actors in the infobox are going to need to be deleted. Much of these facts are not referenced in any official 24 canon such as the episode guides or the official web site. Please do not remove said "speculation" until we keep the discussion, which I have started in Talk:24 (TV series). Calwatch 03:41, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I am commenting out the ages of all characters because it is disputed information. When information is questioned, the appropriate course of action is to remove it from the article until the issue is resolved. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 13:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I can take yalls word for it, but if, for example, john smith is said to be 35 years old, and the screen cuts black and says "10 years later", we can't mention that at this point in the movie he is 45 years old? That wouldn't be original research, that's just going by what the movie said. I realize the two situations are not identical, but in the one I brought up would that honestly be considered original research? Oreo man 21:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

There is a big difference between interpreting/inferring something and repeating what has been clearly stated in canon material. If her age is stated, then there is no interpretation and the information should not be removed!Riverbend 15:22, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Current Satus

Shouldn't we post on here something about Valencia being the area where the nuclear bomb went off in Day Six? That's where they last said she was? Maybe she was killed in Day Six though I doubt that, Jack would respond to this somehow unless he forgot (possibly due to be in China). Maybe we could put under Curent Satus, instead of Civilian, Unknown? I think we should atleast put it on here somewhere? 68.51.147.38 05:43, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Um, the pictures currently put up are rather...gratuitous, you have Kim in bondage, and then you have a picture of Kim in Day 3 that really shows off her cleavage, who cares what she's wearing? Why can't we have instead, pictures more plot related, like, Kim being chased by a cougar or Kim holding the knife in the bunker? - T'Sura who is of the opinion that Jack Bauer will kick someone's ass for this soon...or his wife would shoot... ...and damnit, I probably wouldn't mind as much if the male characters pages are equally gratuitous, like, Tom Lennox in ducktape or the multiple times Jack's been tied up, yet with men, when the media reports, they chose pictures of Jack with the gun. Totally not fair.
