Talk:Donald Strachey

Quotation and discussion
(This dialogue is from the film. It does not appear in the book.  I did not write it.  Not once, in any of the Strachey books, does one of these guys call the other "you bitch."  The first film was promising but the second was wretched and I hold out no hope for the upcoming others. Richard Stevenson)
 * Moved this note to this talk page. Needs checking with the book text. —Ashleyvh (talk) 17:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I can check with the book text if Wiki users would like, but what exactly will we have accomplished after we have "verified" something that the author himself has said does not appear in the book? Homoaffectional (talk) 03:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I checked against the book. From what I've skimmed so far, there isn't even a scene like this in the novel -- Timmy doesn't get clubbed over the head by one of Slinger's goons, so he doesn't wind up in the hospital.  FYI, there are major differences between the book and the film, which anyone can and should presume considering that the copyright date of the book was a year long before the internet became known to the general public.

Supporting/recurring characters
I would like to create a section on this page devoted to the three supporting characters besides Donald that have appeared in all four of the films, as I don't feel (and surely just about everyone on Wikipedia would agree) that the characters warrant their own individual pages. The first would be Tim Callahan, who has also appeared in just about every one of the books. Two other characters, Detective Sean 'Bub' Bailey and Kenny Kwon, were original characters created for the films. They along with Don and Timmy have appeared in all four film adaptations thus far (keep in mind, it's very possible and even likely that more of the books will be adapted). I would appreciate if more experienced Wikipedia users would tell me, in their judgement, where is the best place for this section to be placed on this article? Does it warrant its own new heading, or should it be placed as a sub-heading underneath Donald's introductory section, or perhaps as one underneath the listing of film adaptations released thus far?

 * I think it's weird to see a supporting/recurring characters section under a character's page since the page is about the character, Donald, not about the book series. It may seem more natural if it can be rewritten in a tone of introducing the relationships between those people and Donald like many characters' pages do. I'm willing to do that if nobody disagrees.--Raura (talk) 10:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
