Talk:B.J. Blazkowicz

Untitled

• The original page was full of bad english and redundent information, i've cut it down and placed what little I know of the series into the article. I personally think this character is notable, (in the sense that the doomguy is notable) but this article needs alot more information than it currently has, and preferbly not copying whats already on the game pages. What does anyone else think? --ACE Spark 11:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Copyrighted bio

The textual biography given here is verbatim from the README of one of the games. I know copyrighted material is anathema to Wikipedia, so I propose making it a blockquote, with an original description preceding it, and proper attribution. --BlueNight (talk) 22:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Redirection

This article has a long and inglorious history of toggling between a redirect and existing as a standalone article. However, as of 29 April 2011, almost all of the content in the article consisted of copyright violations. Fictional biographical information directly duplicated the software's documentation (as had been the case since 2008), and both passages referring to real-world sources were copyright violations of those sources.

Change to MachineGames picture?

Should B.J.'s picture be changed to the one from Wolfenstein: The New Order instead of that from Wolfenstein (2009)? It is more current and more representative of the original appearance of him.

Descent

In the article the statement "In the Wolfenstein series' backstory, Blazkowicz was born in the United States to a family of Polish immigrants." is sourced with this article. This article is only talking about Blazkowicz being of jewish descent (through his mother, the better, direct reference is this tweet by @ThatTomHall), there is absolutely no reference to him being born in the United States, nor his parents being polish immigrants. —viciarg⁴¹⁴ 09:05, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

biography false

The article starts explaining The New Colossus, and states that the US surrendered “in the last five months”. Whether this was a typo or not, the way it reads implies that America surrendered in the last five months since The New Order ended and should be rewritten; the US surrendered when New York was bombed before the events of New Order. 2603:6011:F83C:E59E:A0BE:E551:AC5A:26F6 (talk) 06:56, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
