[edit] Did he really kill several people?

Whoever put "kills several Stanfield enforcers including Savino Bratton". He shot the one guy in the legs with his shotgun, but let him live. He did shoot Savino in the head, but there isn't any other reference to him killing other Stanfield people in the show, can someone clarify? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaerulez (talk • contribs) 17:55, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

There is a reference to him killing a Stanfield enforcer named Manny at a stash house. Other than that I can't recall him killing anyone else.--Opark 77 (talk) 18:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Location

The Final scene is Omar in Baltimore, not New York--Dsuriano 18:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

If you're referring to Season One, the scenery (street signage, license plates) all indicate New York. He returns to Baltimore in Season Two. I just watched the episode on HBO on demand. Can anyone corrorborate? Ellsworth 23:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

This is true. Not only does the scene take place infront of a sign indicating that it is in the south bronx, The Empire State Building is also visible in the background. I would change it myself, but I just created my account and do not feel comfortable editing articles, as I don't really know what I am doing yet.--Comic J 17:31, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

No, go for it, dude!. Ellsworth 14:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

You guys are both right - End of Season One Omar is sent to NYC by McNulty to keep him out of String's sights. McNulty puts him on a bus and at the end the scenery (mentioned above) is clear that he made it to NYC. He does return to Baltimore (not sure what episode - would have to watch the DVD again) during Season Two to testify against Bird in the Gant shooting. S2E6 - is my favorite when he actually testifies in court and calls out Levy for being just as much as a corrupting factor as himself in the "Game" and he also shows his depth in character by helping the guard with his crossword by knowing the Greek God of War - Aries. I need to set up an account but they already let me put in lack of source on the prologue episode for Season 5. I'll watch the end of Season 1 again and make sure then put the edit in if you guys don't beat me to it!

[edit] Butchie

We need to work in mention of Butchies role as an advisor to Omar.--Opark 77 22:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

And as a bank/family? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.188.252.137 (talk) 04:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] He never swears?

he says shit in his second line in the show

But I believe he scolds Brandon for swearing - something about not saying such words from such a beautiful mouth.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amyracecar007 (talk • contribs) 02:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is his last name a coincidence?

I was just wondering if it's only a coincidence that Omar's last name is the same as Malcolm X's. --Davecampbell 18:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formal tone

An editor at IP address 76.99.9.205 has been edit warring over content on this page. There is a summary of their rationale at their talk page. They are basing their edits on a slang term "hopper" being more appropriate to describe someone who is a low ranking drug dealer. I have provided an explanation about the manual of style and use of formal encyclopaedic tone to try to clarify why this is not appropriate here at wikipedia. Please stop edit warring and follow the policies of the encyclopedia.--Opark 77 (talk) 22:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

As a compromise why don't we not mention Kenard's role in the crew and save that for Kenard's own article/entry?--Opark 77 (talk) 22:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!11!!

No. 72.85.143.80 (talk) 02:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Prologue

Amazon.com has exclusive prologues of a couple The Wire characters, including Omar. What would the right way to go about including this in the article? --206.57.89.239 (talk) 04:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

It is in the article, here.--Opark 77 (talk) 11:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I see that the summary of one of the prologues is what you are linking to Opark 77 but there is no link to the source or mention of the other prequels.Amyracecar007 (talk) 02:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)Amyracecar007

You can add mention of the source and we should add a citation. We should cite the original source (HBO not amazon or both). Mention of the other prequels is not really relevant to this article IMO.--Opark 77 (talk) 07:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Past tense

The use of past tense in the lead pretty much gives away that he dies, something which is to be avoided I think. The plot summary would obviously spoil it, but the lead doesn't need to in my opinion. Mind if I change the tense? VanTucky 21:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
