Talk:Siler (Stargate)

First Name
When was he ever called Sylvester? JBK405 02:11, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

If someone can verify his first name, then shouldn't the article title be changed to Sylvester Siler? Spaceman21 21:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Since it's been so many months since I've asked for a source we should remove it from the page. The burden of proof is on the one making the edit. JBK405 22:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

"Sparky"
I'm speculating here, but could it be that the Sparky nickname is a reference to M*A*S*H, where Sparky is the unseen switchboard operator frequently contacted by Radar O'Reilly (with whom parallels have been drawn with Walter Harriman)? I haven't put anything in the article yet as I don't have a source though... --Chrisd87 10:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, something like that is definitely going to need a source. CovenantD 10:50, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it's his nickname more then "Sly" is, either we should add a note about sparky, or we should change the "sly" to "sparky". O'neill's called him that more then once, although since o'neill is the only one calling siler that, it could be a pet name - Count23 09:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

When did he ever call him Sparky? JBK405 16:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * "Shake it off Sparky" - 48 Hours.

Straight after Siler was blown clear of the exploding DHD. That's the only episode i can remember right at the moment, but there was a few others - Count23 01:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Sparky is just a nickname for an electrician, or an electrical engineer etc. It is very unlikely that it refers, specifically, to M*A*S*H* (Justinboden86 12:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC))

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Accident Prone
This is only a minor point but he isn't really accident prone...he rarely gets injured (everyone in the show gets injured time to time). The reference in the 200th episode is that he is a stunt double and whenever O'neil gets tossed into a wall, it's really the actor who gets hurt. So I'm changing the article to fit that in.
