CVG To-do:
To-do list for List of characters in the Star Fox series: edit  · history  · watch  · refresh
  • Make stub-ish descriptions of all the characters with standalone articles (e.g. Fox McCloud, and link the standalone article with {{main}}
  • Merge the Star Fox 2 characters out to the Star Fox 2 article?
  • Merge the members of Star Fox here? This needs to be discussed: do Peppy/Slippy/Falco need their own articles?
    Merge the remaining characters here? Only Fox, Andross, and Krystal currently have standalone articles.
  • Merge the characters who only appear in one game or only in the comic (Scales, Vixy, etc.) to the game/comic article?
  • Greatly reduce all of the useless clutter/speculation in some of the character sections.
  • Reduce the number of page-cluttering, fair use-violating images.
  • Rewrite plot summaries to be shorter and use an out-of-universe style (particularly present, instead of past, tense).
  • Make this article clean, clear, and believable.

[edit] Added info on Panther's Jap name

Apparently, Caluroso translates to hot, warm, enthusiastic, or energetic in Spanish. I dunno why they have to change it to English, but it fits Panther well. XD —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.107.85.202 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Leon?

Where's Leons picture? It has dissapeared! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.69.210.3 (talk • contribs).

It was deleted because the source URL could not be found. Thunderbrand 18:20, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kanji / Kana for Star Wolf?

Hmm it looks like the kanjis for the three members are missing. I thought they can be found in the Japanese sites?

[edit] Panther's name talk

I was told to see the talk page about this issue, but it appears there's no discussion about it. I think it should be listed as Caruso, since that is the most recent version of his name. If someone doesn't dispute this in the next little while, I'll change it. 199.126.137.209 05:35, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

See the archive link at the top of the page. It should probably be changed to "Caruso" as the offical site lists that too. Thunderbrand 13:59, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No more individual pages?

I see in the to-do list that it states the stub-inclusion of articles on all the main characters here, as well as links to the individual character pages, but now it appears as though the character pages have been changed into redirect pages, with far less information in the sections here as well. For example: The information on Falco's name source and his rivalry with Leon were both lost in the transition, and have not since been recovered or reimplemented. Is this the final form, or are things still being moved? Just worried since there was no discussion of this on Falco's talk page. --Blinkstale 04:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

There was a pretty big discussion about it in this page's archive. There is a link at the top of this page. Some stuff had to be trimmed down when it was moved here. The stuff on Falco was pretty much speculation, since his name origin wasn't sourced. His "rivalry" with Leon is a very minor thing. Thunderbrand 14:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Ah, thank you, I wouldn't have thought to look there. Should there be anything linking to major discussions of the past on this page, kind of like a miniFAQ? That way, the same discussions don't continually rearise after you guys delete them from the discussion pages? Just a thought. --Blinkstale 00:03, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
I liked the individual pages, it was far more cleaner, and we could go in detail about the characters. Now that's all redirected, it looks very ugly and not very pleasing to the eyes. --Willy105

I agree 100%, individual pages are very convenient if you are listing characters from a franchise with so many characters at least you can have a picture of each one without looking over illustrated, this must be disscused futher-Dark Dragon Flame 05:02, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] do a barrel role

why does going to that page redirect to here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.80.204.29 (talk • contribs).

Because Peppy's entry is here. There is no justification for its own page. Thunderbrand 14:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Do a Barrel Role is redirected to here because it is a trademark line for Peppy Hare dating back to the original Starwing on the SNES Guess who i am 08:35, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, a barrel roll is not exclusive to Star Fox. It's an aircraft maneuver term.

[edit] Somebody clean up Leon's page.

It looks like a four year old wrote it. And wrote it poorly for a four year old at that. Gah.

[edit] Vandalism

It seems that someone keeps adding unnecessary images on this page. I added some info on a few sections yesterday and they downright removed it. There is also an issue dealing with speculation in Wolf's section, something about his "eyepatch" or whatever it is being a "targeting system". Any suggestions? --AgreeneyedFox 19:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I reverted it back a few versions, I'm not sure if that deleted some of your info, if it did i'm sorry I had to do it because there were sings of vandalism, someone is removing images of important characters like James McCloud and adding images of non-important secondary characters at the bottom of the page, speculations and stuff it's not rare in this page either see Tricky for example-Dark Dragon Flame 00:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seriously, Krystal should have her own article...

Honest to goodness, do any of you guys realize just how popular Krystal is? She needs to have her own article back!!! Just look at Fanfiction.net or [Fanart Central]; Krystal has a small legion of devoted fans. I'm not exactly one of them, but I feel like the fanbase justifies giving Krystal her own article back. I've been trying to do that, but, so far, I've only succeeded in starting an edit war. See the talk page for the details. --Luigifan 20:16, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, it seems no other users besides you wants to change the article back. Her write-up in the article is practically the same as it was when there was a separate article. Thunderbrand 22:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
While I agree that the original separate article had what I thought was a lot of useful info that warranted having its own article, I don't agree that Krystal should be given her own article again just because she's a popular character. This article is about the characters as they exist in the game series, not as they exist in fan fiction. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 00:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Krystal doesn't NEED her own article, but her section IS getting pretty big, and most character sections (if not all) will continue to grow, assuming there will be another Star Fox game. Other than that, I don't know what to say. --AgreeneyedFox 05:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

She might not need it now but as soon as another game comes out it's definetily going to be needed-Dark Dragon Flame 07:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, there's no reason to split Krystal or any other character out of this list unless there's commentary in reliable sources independent of the fictional works in which they appear. Seriously. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 23:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, AMIB? Hbdragon88 05:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Hmm... Krystal's role in all of the three games she's appeared in is pretty important, but important enough to warrant her own article? Well, I have to admit, unless there's something we missed, maybe not... --Luigifan 12:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I think that Krystal's long and interesting development history (including her place in Dinosaur Planet), warrants an article for her. She is definitely as significant as any Star Fox character or item that has its own article (like Star Wolf (Star Fox)). She should get her article back. Rhindle The Red 10:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Notice that Star Wolf deals with a group as a whole, not about any individual character. All of the characters who are Star Wolf members have their own section in this article. Krystal should not be granted any exceptions. Hbdragon88 23:19, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Falco, Slippy, Peppy, Krystal, Andross, and Wolf need their own articles back

Please,give the above listed characters their articles back, I can think of a lot of Categories they would fit in to.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.244.42.164 (talk • contribs).

You got my vote it was just plum bitter that way and what happend to there height,weight and age they use to have that

[edit] Panther, Leon, Pigma, and Andrew need their own articles

I think the above character should have their own articles, there are so many Categories they would fit into. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.244.42.164 (talk • contribs).

The consensus was to merge them. Most of the stuff written about them is crufty anyway and needs a lot of work. Thunderbrand 00:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General Scales needs his own article

Seriously, the guy needs his own article. He has just as much info as Fox does, we will be able to get a clearer image of his personality, and I hear a big rumor that he might appear in the next Star Fox game and Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a playable character.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.167.175.119 (talk • contribs).

Scales' article was fairly small when it was merged, since there isn't a whole lot of info on him. And anyone could be in the next SSBB. Just wait until there is concrete evidence. Thunderbrand 17:28, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Give Falco, Slippy, Krystal, Wolf, and Andross their articles back, Pretty Please?

the above characters should have their articles back, I can think of a lot of categories they would fit into. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.244.187.115 (talk) 17:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

I agree, these guys are not minor characters. --Luigifan 11:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
They are not characters about which reliable publications have seen fit to comment upon. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 22:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Voice Acting for Starfox 64

For fact I can confirm Falco's voice actor to be Bill Johns, he is listed in the credits, but no name assigned. If more evidence is needed I will get it, as he is my brother's drama teacher. As for the other characters, I cannot provide evidence. When I try to add Bill Johns as a voice actor it just gets deleted.

[edit] Edited Panther's article

His article sounds a bit unjust for him, so I edited it to be fair in his case (i.e. his breaking of the stereotype in Command). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.83.13.16 (talk) 16:36, 4 March 2007 (UTC).


[edit] Restoration for Krystal

Seriously, Krystal is a rather popular character, and I feel that she should have her own article back. For instance, she's the most popular StarFox character on Fanart Central. --Luigifan 11:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

'That's not enough justification.
