Last name?
[edit]Was this invented for the film? I don't recall her having a last name in the comics. Owen 05:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, it's in the novelization of the film.- JustPhil

It is in the graphic novel on the movie posters for The Salt Flats.
Grammar School
[edit]I'm not sure what to do with this bit. I've linked to the page for grammar schools in the UK but as you can see for yourselves, it's impossible for her to have gone to this sort of school in 1985 (she could have gone to a selective school or a single-sex school, but not a grammar), though 1957 is a different matter. It's an error in the film, but I'm not sure what to say in the article. Eriathwen 19:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Not that impossible - from the most recent version of the article you link to (possibly updated since you read it):
"There are still 164 old-style state-run grammar schools in existence."
I lived near Salisbury, Wiltshire, in the 1990s and there were a few Grammar schools in the area. This flag once was red 09:14, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Film Version Only
[edit]I'm concerned that the only depiction of Valerie's life presented here is the one from the movie. The article only talks of America's War with the Middle-East, and makes nop mention of WW3. It would be much appreciated if someone could change somehow.76.184.12.173 00:36, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Why?
[edit]Why do we have entries of this nature in Wikipedia?
There is minimal value here. An encylopedia should focus on classic and important information.
I mean, what next: an encylopedia entry for every single minor character from every film and comic every created? Ludicrous. The likes of the Valerie Page entry devalues Wikipedia in my eyes. Anything goes.
On a similar theme, someone has created a Wikipedia entry for every single minor character in Final Fight video game. Again, see above.

V for Vendetta Template
[edit]I'm removing this template from all its articles:
| Adaptations | |
|---|---|
| Characters |
|
| Related | |
Which, I agree, is fairly provocative. However, I don't see how "V for Vendetta" deserves this on its own, or what useful information it provides. Surely the links in the articles are sufficient? If people want to revert my changes, that's fine by me. But please reply to this post so we can get a discussion started. At the moment I see no reason why the template should exist.

- I've reverted my previous edit and requested a template deletion instead, see below. Maccy69 17:37, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
TfD nomination of Template:V for Vendetta
[edit]Template:V for Vendetta has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. — Maccy69 17:37, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
It should be merged or moved as a subsection in the fictional universe, that's where most non-notable fictional characters go to, a subsection. --75.159.2.59 (talk) 22:54, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Phonetics.
[edit]Just thought that it would be interesting to add that Valerie was, most likely, if not doubtless, inprisoned in room number 4, Roman numbering "IV", which is also a phonetic form of Evey, V himself obviously notices this not-coincidence, and I thought it would be an interesting trivia to add to this article. 217.208.24.113 (talk) 19:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Valeria was definitely in room 4 - when Evey asks who Valeria was, V replies "She was the woman in room four". (The next scene is Ruth Almond at the Kitty-Kat Kellar — in changing room 4). That said, trivia sections are discouraged and the main article already has far too much (IMHO) fan-cruft about numbers. Cheers, This flag once was red 22:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Comic Book, Valarie's "supposed" letter
[edit]I've made a few (minor, I hope) changes and thought I'd better explain them here:
Firstly, V for Vendetta was first published as a series in the British comic "Warrior", before it was collected as a graphic novel.
Secondly, I understand why a previous editor wrote that Valarie's letter was "supposedly" written by Valarie, but feel the use of "supposedly" is wrong: it suggests that Valarie *didn't* write it, and all we know for sure is what V tells us - that he found the letter. Evey may well be reading a copy (I'd hope so!) but it doesn't diminish the fact that - as far as we know - Valarie wrote the original. To suggest otherwise is original research or speculation.
Hope this isn't too controversial! This flag once was red 09:10, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Valerie's Letter
[edit]I've removed the text below from the page, as I *think* it's a copyright violation; I'm prepared to listen to arguments as to why it might be fair use ;-) Incidentally, there's already a link to the text of the letter from the comic from the article; though I'm not too sure about the legality of that either.
[text excised]
This flag once was red 06:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm inclined to agree. And, in fact, I've removed it from this page as well. Frankly, I don't see how including the entire letter could be construed as "fair use". --GentlemanGhost (talk) 21:34, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
