Talk:Bernard Quatermass

Character section is confusing
I came here with no idea who Bernard Quatermass is, and I still don't know. The "Character" section seems to be trying to present things in chronological order, which is probably not a good choice. Leading the character description with "Little is revealed of Quatermass's early life during the course of the films" is unhelpful to say the least, unless the character's mysterious nature is truly important, in which case we should say so explicitly.

Let me present, by way of counterexample, the excellent opening paragraph from Sherlock Holmes:

Can we work toward crafting a similar description for Quatermass? --Doradus (talk) 11:40, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Ah, that's quite good! What's wrong with it is only that it's buried in the middle of the lede.  I'll make it more prominent.  --Doradus (talk) 19:18, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Trivial and also featured article?
It would appear that the article's status as a featured article stated in the header for this page and the tag that the article contains trivial information are contradictory so I'm removing the trivial tag.Chuangzu (talk) 14:28, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

May I suggest my fansite, "Ringstone Round", is added to the links?
It's quite extensive: http://kristian.anapnea.net/quatermass/

Reinsertion of John Mills image
As I see, Latyelcop, you reinserted the non-free John Mills image in this article and Quatermass (TV serial). Using FFD discussion about other images, as I figured, all non-free images of various actors may not comply with WP:NFCC and WP:NFCC. I don't see a point of using a Mills image in the character article unless it's to display his appearance in the series? Mills appeared in only one TV serial. Honestly, I thought the screenshot is more suitable in only the actor article. Furthermore, the Mills image doesn't add much understanding about the TV serial either. Other actor images were removed from articles about respective works the actors appeared in. --George Ho (talk) 07:12, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

FAR?
Literally the worst FA article so far. Poor formatted references, unsourced statements, the use unreliable sources, and lacking of reception section. 🥒 Greenish Pickle! 🥒 (🔔) 06:20, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
