Spelling of Jamie's full name

For the first several seasons, the way Jamie's full name is spelled had never been shown on screen or otherwise established, and on this and other forums, "Jamison" and "Jameson" had been used interchangeably. It wasn't established until a scene in Season 6 Episode 9 when Jamie shows a perpetrator his Harvard Alumni card with the name spelled "Jameson Reagan". The spelling was further established in dialogue in Season 9 Episode 7 between Jamie and Eddie's mother Lena Janko:

Jamie Reagan: It's okay. My real name's Jameson.

Lena Janko: Like the whiskey?

Jamie Reagan: Yeah, like the whiskey.

Lena Janko: It's a good thing your parents didn't like to drink Smirnoff!

Reference Jameson Irish Whiskey

Change of Eddie from "Associate of Jamie" to member of the Reagan family

I spent a considerable amount of time updating the page following the airing of Season 9 Episode 22 "Something Blue" to move Eddie's biography from the "Associates of Jamie" section to the "Reagan family" section, giving details of the wedding from the episode, updating her name from "Eddie Janko" to "Eddie Janko Reagan" and changing her status in the main characters' infoboxes from "future sister/daughter-in-law" to just "sister/daughter-in-law".

Then someone undid all my changes, saying, "Good faith but they did not actually get married by the end, and no way of knowing her name will change".

This is absurd. No reasonable person, and only the most diehard "Jamko" haters, would deny that the wedding happened just because the camera blacked out as Eddie reached Jamie at the altar with both of them smiling at each other. As for her name change, while I have very little doubt that Eddie would maintain her maiden name on the job to minimize getting a target on her back as the PC's daughter-in-law, but that doesn't change her from legally becoming Edit Janko Reagan or, as Jamie himself put it in the Season 8 finale, "Mrs. Jameson Reagan".

All of what you just described is WP:OR. Sure, the chances are they got married, but you never know. Maybe the season premier next year starts with a terrorist attack on NYC and the wedding is stopped while the city goes into panic. Maybe the priest has a heart attack and they suspect he was poisoned and they go into researching that and push off the wedding. Did those happen, probably not, but could they happen, absolutely. You even admit in your post that these edits are based on your feelings on the situation. Unless you have a source confirming they are indeed married and she did indeed change her name, then the edits are made too soon. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 13:27, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CBS police procedural shows always end in a "To Be Continued" if it's going to be a cliffhanger (e.g. Criminal Minds, CSI franchise, NCIS franchise), season finale or not. This did not happen in "Something Blue". Nor did any slight hint that it would happen. It is not reasonable to believe that any of those catastrophes that you mention will happen. I use "reasonable" in the sense of "reasonable doubt" in US criminal trials. Linda Reagan coming back from the dead in the middle of the wedding has more chance of happening than any of your hypothetical catastrophes. PhantomWSO (talk) 18:26, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No matter what you think or believe, its still a violation of WP:OR - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 18:32, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also I suggest you familiarize yourself with WP:CRYSTAL. The first line Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation or presumptions. Wikipedia does not predict the future. To say what happened after it went off the air is 100% "unverifiable speculation or presumptions". In the TV universe, anything that happened from the moment the cameras stopped is the future. Even if everything happens 100% as you think it will, until that is confirmed and the episode airs that says they are married, it violates CRYSTAL. When you look at House of Cards (U.S. TV series) it was known that Frank Underwood would be dead in the season premier of season 6, it was confirmed that he would be, but until the first episode of season 6 was released nothing was updated to reflect that. The same applies here. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 19:06, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These are from the official CBS page, so it covers both "original research" and "Crystal":

Again read what I wrote above comparing with House of Cards. You need to wait until next season airs to add that they are married. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 19:20, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abigail Baker's rank

The rank had been cited as Detective 1st Grade.

But in the episode discussed, where Baker is requesting transfer, Commissioner Reagan says whe was Detective 2nd Grade — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.56.138.157 (talk • contribs) 23:09, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jamie's middle name

Sorry, but I'm undoing the entry listing Jamie's middle name as "Henry". Logically, he should have a middle name as both his brothers were given middle names (Daniel Fitzgerald Reagan and Joseph Conor Reagan), and Henry makes more sense than any except maybe Francis as a middle name, but unless anybody can cite an episode where his middle name is specifically mentioned, it's just wishful thinking. I got into a pissing contest at the end of Season 9 with some petulant jerk over whether Jamie and Eddie were actually married since the episode, and I had more of an argument in favor of their being married than this supposition does.

Age of Henry

If Henry was born in 1934, as is calculated in the article, how could he have served in WWII, which ended in 1945—when he would have been 10 or 11 years old? Is this a continuity error, or simply a character error where an elderly veteran has forgotten which conflicts he participated in? 69.42.21.9 (talk) 19:34, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Reagan referred to him as "my 88-year-old father" in an episode in the most recent season. BD2412 T 20:29, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
