Talk:00 Agent

Untitled
While not 100% canon, there was a Japanese promotional campaign that told of what it takes to be a 00 Agent:

1. You don't fear death, and won't give into torture 2) You have Olympic level shooting skills 3) Even if you double-cross your own parents, you will never double-cross the organization 4) You have knowledge that would surprise even a scholar, and a sense of humor that would make even a bad girl grin 5) You have the sociability of a lamb, but remain a lone wolf 6) You have the highest level of experience with alcohol, gambling, cars and food 7) You can fall in love but you can never love."

This would be a nice tidbit to add to this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.63.39 (talk) 14:58, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Discrepancy with the 00 details: Just a quickie, but the List of 00s mentions for Jonathan Hunter "GoldenEye" that Goldfinger dies by being sucked out of a plane, yet : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auric_Goldfinger#Death and Dr No dies by boiling : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Julius_No

Might want to edit that up somewhat? Sorry this is quick and dirty, kinda tired. Miles 2397 (talk) 22:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Choice of 007
I had always heard that "007" was assigned as Bond's number because that is the international dialling code for Russia from the UK. Is that pure urban myth? If it isn't (and it can be sourced), should it be included? --Legis (talk - contribs) 16:05, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I once read somewhere, perhaps in Steven Rubin's "The James Bond Encyclopedia," that the number 007 was actually the number of the bus that Ian Fleming would take from his house to the bar or club where he used to hang out. -- Michael24 15:39, 21 February 2010

The badly named John Wolfgramm
Having done an electronic search on The Man with the Red Tattoo, I can confirm there is no character with the surname Wolframm (in fact the word "wolf" doesn't appear in the book at all). Why do you insist on adding a surname when one does not exist in the book? - SchroCat (talk) 06:21, 8 December 2012 (UTC)


 * It's probably coming from here: James Bond Wiki.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:15, 8 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, something with no basis in fact then! ;) I've filed a 3RR report against them here for the ongoing reversions and I'll take out Wolframm later. Cheers CR. - SchroCat (talk) 08:23, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I've removed it, as there can be no bones about it being unsourced. Not that it should happen, but my removal also prevents any accusations of 3RR being levelled in your direction.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 11:21, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That's great - cheers CR! - SchroCat (talk) 13:09, 8 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Are we sure he's even referred to by the first name "John"? An electronic search fails to turn up the name John other than in the book's acknowledgements and on page 290. For the record 004 and 0010 appear in the same scene. - Fantr (talk) 21:22, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Good catch - I'd not checked on the first name before, but my search (electronic through a Kindle) on John, 010 and 0010 showed no connection between the 0010 character and any name at all. I'll take it out and leave an appropriate comment. - SchroCat (talk) 06:33, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

April 2013 update
The anonymous IP editor has tried again, adding the note "The first paragraph of chapter 2" as some justification. I have chapter two in front of me and the only identifying names there are as follows and in order: Major Boothroyd, Double-Os, Shooting Instructor Reinhardt, Agents 004 and 0010, 007. That's it; no more. There is no-one called John Wolframm or similar anywhere else in the chapter, or the book. -I also note that the James Bond Wiki reference has finally been removed as they have belatedly realised that no such person exists. - SchroCat (talk) 04:22, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Rmm, different person here, but, John Wolfgramm is Agent 0010, I mean like, when I look up who is Agent 0010, I'm like, oh holy crap, so you can just look that stuff up, but at least it doesn't show actual John Wolfgramm like the real life one, how do I know this, John Wolfgramm is my dad, how did he become a 00 agent, I don't know, I'm constantly pestering him about it, if that's anything. So um, in this book, is it fiction or non fiction, it's fiction for all I know, hmmm, I should pester him more about that, but back to my point, John Wolfgramm is Agent 0010, in this fiction book h e may not be, but in real life, he is. oof that's long, well bye and don't come after me to try to kill me, and um, or else that won't end well for you, so, bye bye!

Number of 00's
(re: edit in lead) In film, specifically Thunderball, the number of 00's is at least 9, with the likelihood of more. At the 00:39:00 mark, Moneypenny advises Bond that he is to attend a meeting "with every 00 in Europe" in attendance. Bond then attends the meeting, sitting in the 7th of 9 chairs. (no ST:V ref intended), indicating there are 9 x 00's in attendance, 001 thru 009. However, as these are only the 00's from Europe, it leaves open the possibility of more 00's stationed around the rest of the world. -  thewolfchild  17:03, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Unidentified 00's
Somewhere in here there should be a paragraph that makes mention of the unidentified 00's seen in the Thunderball meeting, and also the meeting in The World is Not Enough, especially as in the latter one of the 00s given an assignment is clearly female, and as such the first woman 00 to be shown on screen. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 20:06, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

I've added Raul Silva as a 00 Agent, as in the film Skyfall, it can be easily extrapolated that he was the same level agent as James Bond is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.186.41 (talk) 03:51, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Skyfall did not identify Silva as a 00. He just said that he was M's favorite agent.  Emperor001 (talk) 15:19, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Unlikely coincidence
I see that in a later (non-Fleming) novel The Facts of Death, 004 is revealed as Frederick Wardner. In the film Thunderball, the role of 004 is played by Frederick Warner. This seems too much of a coincidence - either one piece of information is wrong, or (quite possibly) the novelist deliberately name-checked the actor. In either case, the information should be mentioned/corrected either here or in the article on the novel. Grutness...wha?  02:08, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Names of 00s
Many of the names and 00 agents listed under the Eon film section have no sources that I am aware of. Most 00 agents in the films are not identified by name. The other 00 agents from Thunderball are nameless (technically it was not even stated on screen that they were 001 through 009, that's just an assumption). Likewise, other individuals like Silva were never identified on-screen as 00s, just as agents. The article should be edited accordingly. Emperor001 (talk) 12:47, 17 July 2019 (UTC) I find myself in agreement with you, Emperor001; all of these need to be cited as to the source for the name. They cannot be observational. Maybe it is better to tag the section as needing references or tagging individual uncited outliers? If, after waiting a week or two, and the items aren't cited, they can be removed. We aren't in a hurry, and if no one does anything, you and I present a consensus to remove and no one can say boo. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 14:08, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * There is a similar problem under the Fleming novels. It appears someone accidentally put the film 002 and 004 under that section.  Also, Bond and 008 (Bill) are the only 00s identified by name in the Fleming novels.  I think some of the confusion in these boxes comes from 00s having different names in different media, so that should be cleaned up.  Note:  novelization 00s can go in the novels by other authors section (thus Alec Trevelyan from GoldenEye goes under that section as well as the Eon films).  I am also agreeable to leaving 0012 under the Eon films as he was mentioned in the novelization (the film just referred to him as an agent).  How do I do the tags you suggested?  Emperor001 (talk) 15:59, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that would be a good start - separating the agents identified via the books by Fleming or other authors or different films - each with a source.
 * As to the different tags, this is an example of a tag for an entire of unreferenced or largely unreferenced statements. This is an example of how to tag a single statement that needs citation. Loading up the article with individual cn tags makes it hard for the reader to follow the article; if there are that many uncited things, a section reference tag is better. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 20:25, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Has it been long enough to make the changes I suggested above? Emperor001 (talk) 14:22, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

New 007 a spoiler?
If Nomi's status as 00 agent is not a spoiler, as it has been on this page for some time, than how can the recent announcement that she is the new 007 be a spoiler? I respectfully submit that anything the actor herself confirms in an interview is not a spoiler and is worthy of inclusion here. SixFourThree (talk) 19:29, 5 November 2020 (UTC)SixFourThree

Agree that was my mistake. But why are you deleting the part of 00 agents in The World is not Enough? Sources report that these are 00 agents, based on what do you think they are not? Lobo151 (talk) 07:43, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

009 appears in Octupussy
There is a mention about 009 into Ocupussy movie, he dies starting movie 2806:104E:17:3F9:904E:5EB8:CD0E:6454 (talk) 22:01, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
