Reorganization?

Should probably be reorganized to have the heading be what work of fiction it is in rather than by the name of the fictional organization. RJFJR 13:54, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming?

Opinion on renaming to Fictional Resistance Movements as a shorter name? RJFJR 13:54, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I've renamed it to "Fictional resistance movements and groups". "Resistance movements" is not a proper noun so there is no need to capitalize it. Yes, the "groups" could probably be dropped too, unless we make a clear distinction in the article between movements and groups.

Need expansion

Need non SF examples. How about an alternate history example? What other fictional resistance organizations are there?

Actually, alternate history as a genre is technically a variety of science fiction. Grammar nazi 07:06, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Want a example ? Try the show Sliders. One episode had the main characters enter a "Earth" in which the Communists have taken over and the people living in the conquered US form a sort of resistance movement to throw out the communist overlords.Martial Law 07:24, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In other Slider shows, the main characters either cooperate with native "Earth" resistance movements, or form them to dislodge native tyrants, aliens, mainly the Kromaggs from the Earths that they have invaded. For the Slider shows, there is no name for the resistance movements,groups known at this time.Martial Law 07:35, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Explanatations

This article depicts fictional resistance movements and/or fictional resistance groups in all media, including SF.Martial Law 07:24, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone know of any "alternative historical" resistance movements,resistance groups out there ? Martial Law 19:19, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unnamed Movements

There are plenty of resistance movements in prominent media which have no names, so I wouldn't know how to document them (i.e. the resistance movement in Half-Life 2. How would you suggest that they be listed? Kazhivlad 07:51, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In "V", the depicted name of this resistance movement was simply called "the resistance", "terrorists" and the like. Cheers. Martial Law 23:17, 31 December 2005 (UTC) :)[reply]

List the resistance movement and/or group, what it is about, the name of the movie,TV show,etc. Martial Law 23:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Feature Article ?

How can this be nominated to be a feature article ? Martial Law 05:46, 8 April 2006 (UTC) :)[reply]

Looking over the actual article I seem some points that will might get raised in the WP:FAC.

Things should be well cited, using proper templates and styles.
Illustrations are desirable.
The article should be more comprehensive. Except for the brief mention of 1984 it's all movie or TV sci-fi. Maybe it'd be better to simply rename it, "Fesistance movements and groups in science fiction".
"Some well known foo" is a poor section title. The (boring) norm is "Notable foo", or simply "Foo".
There should be categories.

Good luck with it. Bringing an article up to featured article status is a great accomplishment. Cheers, -Will Beback 10:15, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Wolverines are originally a high school sports team, until the USSR had forcibly invaded the U.S. This fictional incident is in "alternative history". Is alternative history classed as Science Fiction ? Martial Law 23:56, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If, so, how is "alternative history" classed as Sci-Fi ? Martial Law 19:16, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

'Allo, 'Allo!

This comedy features a fictional resistance group based on the Maquis. Martial Law 19:20, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions

The article probably should be renamed to List of fictional resistance movements to go along with the resistance movement article. Category:Fictional resistance movements should be created and subcated under Category:Resistance movements and the items listed in Fictional resistance movements and groups be palce in Category:Fictional resistance movements. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 11:14, 28 February 2013 (UTC) The Article Should add more fictional groups and it looks quite well nice job. Jwuerfel (talk) 16:48, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article is very detailed and also has many links to other wikipedia pages which makes this such a strong article. You also have some citations of good sources. One thing i would change about the article is to add more information. You have many external links which gives background information about the topics or people you bring up, but it seems as if your article relies on the information to the linked articles for a lot of the information needed for a reader to understand the article. Another edit you could make to improve your article is to add more sections. For example that small paragraph about Robin Hood could be in its own section instead of just part of the one big section, this will keep your article more organized. Your article is very good and with a few small edits it can be made even better. ~Darren DiRocco — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darrendi (talk • contribs) 19:09, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
