Talk:Andrew Ryan (BioShock)

Bioshock 2 expansion
Bioshock 2 expands the story of Andrew Ryan and the lengths he would go to to protect Rapture, and should be added to this article. It could use some major expansion in this regard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.166.15.115 (talk) 09:24, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Heck, it could use major expansion in its BioShock plot summary. Care to give it a whirl? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 15:21, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Ryan's name
Is it a little too obvious to add in that "Andrew Ryan" is a near-anagram of "Ayn Rand"? (the words were flipped and only three letters were added). Technically, the name Andrew Ryan is an anagram of New Ayn Rand —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.145.79.227 (talk) 06:48, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Redirect
Does anyone object to the deletion of the redirect Andrew Ryan (economist)? It's an implausable search term, but I don't want to remove it if anyone wants to preserve its edit history. Marasmusine (talk) 16:58, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Reception
(currently second to last paragraph) "... While discussing potential actors who could portray Ryan in the upcoming BioShock film, IGN editors chose Anthony Hopkins as the perfect choice for the role.[36] -- which goes to show just how little all of them paid attention, so would you kindly ignore this ridiculous paragraph?"

This statement is confusing and does not apparently add to the content. It appears to be a pithy jab at what the writer sees as 'inattention', but it could possibly be a quote which has not been made explicit (somehow). If it's the former, the statement ought to be discarded. If it is the latter, it ought to be made explicit. 128.206.196.34 (talk) 06:41, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Scholarly literature
This is a nice looking article, but I wonder if it could be a lot more. It's currently sourced primarily to video game websites, when there's actually a host of scholarly literature on the game, the world, and, it seems, the character. Has this been sifted through?

Comment from the GA review
Comment - Just so you know I will NOT be reviewing this article as I'm nowhere near clever enough for that, but looking through the article there appears to be no reference to Burial At Sea: Episode 2. That seems like it could be an issue as Andrew Ryan does feature in that game, even if it is only a brief appearance.--1916Walker987 (talk) 17:25, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your suggestion but you know when you open a GAR you automatically become the reviewer? You could have just left a message the talk page? ☯ Jag  uar  ☯ 17:57, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip. Like I said I'm not clever enough yet for this :) --1916Walker987 (talk) 20:16, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Birth name
A recent edit in the article summary puts Ryan's birthname as Andrei Rianofski. I mentioned in the character history section that he uses the name 'Andrei' in an audio diary in BioShock 2, but I can't find any info in regards to the surname 'Rianofski'. Is there a source for this, or is it just someone's guess based on anglicisation?Progressive reactionary (talk) 01:15, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
