Movie actors

Why not mention too : Stewart Granger ( baffling duel in "Scaramouche") - and A. Banderas ( "Zorro"). And not so widely known , but a star in France , Alain Delon ( "The black tulip" I963 - "Zorro" I975 ...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.168.130.125 (talk • contribs) 10:58, 11 December 2007

Because Zorro is the swashbuckler, not Banderas. The only actors you could add are the ones that almost only played swashbuckling roles, like Fairbanks and Flynn. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.131.149.222 (talk • contribs) 00:38, 29 March 2008

James Bond

Why would he be a swashbuckler? He doesnt have any characterics, except being a womanizer.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.131.149.222 (talk • contribs) 00:38, 29 March 2008

He seems to have all the characteristics except instead of swords he noisily uses cars and other things. Green Arrow seems to more clearly be a swashbuckler except for his choice of the kind of blade. -- SEWilco (talk) 02:46, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indiana Jones

Surely he is a swashbuckler? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.30.28.117 (talk) 21:33, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

seconded - so is Han Solo! 58.246.77.14 (talk) 01:37, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"As well"

Why is there "(as well)" after Will Turner? Does not strike me as particularly encyclopedic language. -Jickyincognito (talk) 23:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

authors

Simon Cowell? I see no evidence of this in his linked page, nor in a cursory search of Amazon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.207.206.238 (talk) 02:27, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Add Lagardère?

If Paul Féval is going to be listed as an Author, shouldn't his most famous swordmaster character be listed? I mean, if we're listing multiple characters from The Princess Bride...

Merger proposal

I propose that Swashbuckler (list) be merged into Swashbuckler. I think that the content in the Swashbuckler (list) article can easily be explained in the context of Swashbuckler, and the Swashbuckler (list) article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of Swashbuckler will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.Alanl (talk) 08:01, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They used to be one but were seperated I no not why?REVUpminster (talk) 22:26, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The list article currently has no references, so a merge is probably warranted. It might be possible to make the list into a better referenced article capable of standing on its own, however. - Sangrolu (talk) 20:18, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I second that they should be merged. (Peeteygirl (talk) 00:29, 28 July 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Medical

as usual, this medical section lacks anything for the layperson in remotely normal english and is therefore completely incomprehesible to 99% of readers.

Inflated character list

Opening this thread because the "list of characters" is getting long and inflated.

In my opinion having a list of swashbuckler characters in this article is useful not to have a comprehensive list of all swashbucklers, but to provide examples of characters that embody this archetype especially well.

As such, I'm going to remove some characters like Roronoa Zoro, Wolverine, and He-Man among others, since they are better characterized by other archetypes. I cannot weigh in on others because I have not watched their shows, but I'd be surprised if there really were 4+ archetypal swashbucklers in Doctor Who.
