[edit] Article Cleanup

This article has been tagged for cleanup more than once. Some excess information was removed because this page should focus on Jason Morgan without too much information about other characters. Jlwinton 03:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed some information for the second time. No offense to anyone, but the fact that Sam and Jason yelled at each other during their breakup is not important enough to mention. The reasons they broke up are clear in the article because the events leading to the breakup are described effectively if you read the article in full. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlwinton (talk • contribs) 03:32, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Sam 's thoughts, feelings, reasoning do not necessarily belong on Jason's page. The reasons for the breakup from Jason's POV are present in the article. Also, all of the reasons/blame Sam may have assigned to Jason for their failed relationship should be detailed on her own page if one wishes. Jlwinton 03:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Please be sure to read the information around a sentence you plan to add before actually adding it! Often, the information you state is already present in the article! Jlwinton 04:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I am working on a major rewrite of this article. It is overly extensive, verbose and repetitive. I managed to take edit it down a bit, but this is a work in progress. The first step was an overall rewrite and editing of the article to cut the length, excessive info and other things. The second step is sourcing the article and editing by section. I have the first two sections done (the lead in and brief character history). I encourage everyone to help. Also, does anyone have any pcitures to add?--Charleenmerced ^Talk 16:54, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

For the love of all that is holy, will someone please clean this article up? If not, I will do it & most of my clean up will include heavy editing of the entire Elizabeth/Jason section (read deletion of much of it). Someone already created an Elizabeth/Jason article, so this information does not need to repeated twice & particularly not in such ridiculous detail. morgannia (talk) 06:53, 13 December 2007 (UTC) morgannia

I am with all of those wanting a massive clean up of this article. Not only is the information repetitive and overbearing, but the grammar and wording is horrible. I am sure there are other ways to describe a relationship than to say that "they accepted each other for who they were." That phrase is in the article like ten times. Lennoncorleone (talk) 07:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I did a few somewhat minor spelling and grammar corrections because the massive errors made it a bit difficult to read, I also corrected the spelling of the Cassadine name. DJ-Siren (talk) 00:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I am still trying to edit this down, but it is sooooo long. I need help. --Charleenmerced ^Talk 22:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I worked on the Jason/Elizabeth section. I edited it down to the important information and took out the rest. Like has already been stated above there is a separate Liason page so the detailed history isn't necessary on the Jason Morgan page. I rearranged the outline part also, to separate Jason/Courtney and Jason/Sam from the Becoming Jason Morgan part. The other sections probably need to be shortened as well, each relationship is probably a bit too in depth. --Barrett351 (talk) 06:10, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

I shortened up the Jason/Sam section. Like the Liason part I worked on, I only put in the main events in the JaSam relationship. The Jason Morgan article is so long that already and I figured that every detail doesn't need to be listed.--Barrett351 (talk) 02:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

I realize it's tempting, but please do not add spoiler (advance) information to Wikipedia pages, unless you can link to a published source which verifies that information, per Wikipedia:Verifiability. Also, even if you have spoiler information from a published source, please tag it with the {{spoiler}} tag, so that those of our readers who do not want to read it, have some warning. Thanks, El on ka 17:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

As a reminder: When there is information in a Wikipedia article that has not yet been announced on the show, it should be tagged with {{spoiler}} templates. See WP:SPOILER. --El on ka 08:06, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

Wikipedia is not the place for plot summaries, so can somebody who knows about this person please cut down the plot summaries? Corpx 07:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Awards?

Do awards for the actor belong in the description of the character? Strikes me as misplaced, but not enough to unilaterally remove them. --JohnRDaily 00:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I would say no, because the awards are awarded to the actor and not a fictional character Corpx 08:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree with Corpx. The awards belong on the actors article not the character.
- Moved. --JohnRDaily 02:33, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] spoilers and citations

as of today (july 11, 08) almost all of the info from the last two paragraphs of the recent storylines section for jason's character has not happened, yet. if this information is in fact true, it should have a spoiler warning. also it should be cited. i am curious to know if it is valid information from a secure source. if everyone could please continue to use the proper citations and spoiler warnings that would be great. and if anyone knows what cite this information was gathered from, i would love to know about it. thanks! 146.145.111.114 22:16, 11 July 2007 (UTC)jesmac13

If you see information in the article which is from episodes that have not yet aired, and are not linked to a published source which verifies the info, feel free to delete it on the spot. :) --El on ka 07:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What about Jason is also on Soapnet's General Hospital: Night Shift

When are we going to make the two shows that Jason is on General Hospital and it's spinoff GH; Night Shift? User Talk: Michellekerchal 2:32 pm 7/22/07

[edit] removed material unsupported by sources.

I emoved a lot of material that was unsourced as per WP:BLP. You can find it at Talk:Jason Morgan/Sandbox, if any one wants to source it and re-add to the article. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 03:52, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Awesome job. Thanks for cleaning up this article! Corpx 03:54, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

No, terrible job. You removed all of the article minus one paragraph. And by the way, it certainly was not unsourced as per WP:BLP. In case you do not know, WP:BLP stands for Biographies of Living Persons. Jason Morgan is a fictional character, not a living person. Way to go! Jesmac13

Its not BLP, but it falls under WP:OR and WP:PLOT, not to mention that none of it is referenced from anywhere. Corpx 01:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Jesmac13. Most of the information that were on this page were written and sourced from when it aired. I demand that this page should be put back the way it was before. I don't even know the relationships of Jason Morgan because you took that out. PUT IT BACK.

I do not think ≈ jossi ≈or Corpx did anything wrong. This article was in dire need of a clean up. The plot section was getting ridiculously long and redundant, and was no way in the summary style we're supposed to put it in.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SonnyandJason.jpg

Image:SonnyandJason.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
