If Eliza guest stars as Buffy does Sarah technically guest star as Faith!? Britmax 22:12, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * No because SSMG is a 'regular' on the show, therefore no matter what character she plays (Buffybot, First Evil, Faith..) she is not guest starring as that character. -- Paxomen 19:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Please help complete the Angel/Buffy episode articles. See what needs to be done on this sub-page of WikiProject Buffy:

WikiProject Buffy/Episodes

Also please help update any major changes made to episode articles on that page so that progress can be mapped. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paxomen (talk • contribs) 19:01, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Title: Who Are You/Who Are You?
Is there a reason that the title of this page leaves out the question mark in the title of the episode? Shouldn't this page be moved to Who Are You? (Buffy episode)? --Jayunderscorezero (talk) 15:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure the episode title doesn't include a question mark. I believe the "Who Are You" script is on the Season Four DVDs, so that'd be the place to check. --Nalvage (talk) 15:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * As with the similarly confusing "Lovers Walk", the DVD menus do alternate on this one (apparently no-one proofreads those things), but yes, you're right, the actual script does not include the question mark. --Jayunderscorezero (talk) 16:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it absolutely requires a question mark. "Lovers Walk" is grammatically correct either way, but "Who Are You" is a question, not a statement. Writers make mistakes all the time, and these are fixed later in editorial before publishing (ideally). Punctuation especially can be omitted from titles during production, perhaps because question marks confuse software, and as there is no title card shown on screen, no need to take care with this, it's just a label not seen by the viewers. So in my personal canon, it's "Who Are You?". And this seems to be a fairly common decision by careful writers, see eg this essay at Slayage. Barsoomian (talk) 05:27, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This isn't a question of grammar, but of what the episode was officially titled, and in the original script, as stated above, and on the DVD box sets, the title does NOT include the question mark. kingdom2 (talk) 17:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * What is "official" is not obvious, and the script is not definitive, it's not meant for publication. The work itself is a video, not a script. Titles often change from the "working title" used on the script, up to the date of broadcast. There is no title on the filmed episode, which would be the only place it could be "official". And it is NOT constant on box sets. Some do have the question mark, in fact ALL the ones I could find images of do -- see image link at end. And the translated titles (Spanish, German, Italian) all DO have question marks, so apparently someone was paying more attention there. The reason I raised the point of grammar is that there is NO SIGNIFICANCE in omitting the question mark deliberately, it has no meaning, it's just a typo. Which means its omission on SOME (not all) media is an error. I won't start an edit war about this but I'm sure the "official" title has a question mark, unless Joss Himself has said otherwise. For corroboration: here's some scans of "Official" DVD covers, they both use "Who Are You?". In four places I can see on the Australian one and twice on the American release. So how is this not "official"? Barsoomian (talk) 08:34, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Buffy416.jpg
Image:Buffy416.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

partially reverting a Tara fan
I'm going to remove some recent additions:
 * When confronted and feeling attacked or embarrassed, Tara seems to stutter. Which she eventually grows out of as her relationship with Willow grows and she becomes stronger as a person.

Seems? — This belongs in Tara's article, not here.


 * Tara and Willow's spell to find Buffy in the nether realm is used as a metaphor for their first sexual experience. This shows the first of many times Tara sees more than meets the eye when it comes to the Scooby Gang's problems.

These two sentences do not belong together.


 * Faith (in Buffy's body) sleeps with Riley which further complicates Buffy's relationship with him. Also, the fact that someone who only knows Buffy by word of mouth, like Tara, can figure out yes by magic assist, that Buffy isn't herself. Shows that Riley in turn really doesn't know Buffy at all.

Tara says Faith's aura is "fragmented"; that says nothing about her knowledge of Buffy. If Buffy behaves oddly sometimes, how shocked should Riley be? —Tamfang (talk) 17:07, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Good edits. Thanks. Dmforcier (talk)

Faith vs. Riley
There is something important missing from this article: the importance - to Faith - of Faith's night with Riley. Real love is new to her. Faith's experience of a loving relationship shakes her to her core. She realizes just what her life choices have really cost her, and this sets up the whole Faith redemption story. Now, how to put this into the article? As I understand it the Wikipedia guidelines are such that just inserting it would be tantamount to inserting "original research". Suggestions? Dmforcier (talk) 01:33, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, this is addressed by both Marti Noxon and Joss in the Season 4 Overview video (which I think is included on the DVD release). I'll try to come up with an edit. Dmforcier (talk)
