Why is Needa missing here? He is human and part of the main movies and has some importance to the plot. 2001:9E8:8086:6800:468A:5BFF:FEA1:E695 (talk) 17:57, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TNstingray and Fountains of Bryn Mawr - are these the same credits that list Red Two (Wedge) as being portrayed by Dennis Lawson?  :-) Chaheel Riens (talk) 17:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That correction is reflected at Star Wars (film). Clearly the credits of this great film have some inaccuracies. It would be a disservice to the reader to not mention them, whether that be the name of the actor or the character. TNstingray (talk) 18:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't chose sides on these things, it describes the difference. So if a character has X name in X work and Y name in Y work and an actor is misidentified in B or C work - then we say "a character has X name in X work and Y name in Y work and an actor is misidentified in B / C work". Its not just a service to the reader to mention this, its Wikipedia policy. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 18:36, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

Then why aren't you advocating that viewpoint in this instance, instead of insisting that your interpretation is correct? That's the point I was trying to get across. Chaheel Riens (talk) 19:15, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You actually have to cite another viewpoint, again required by Wikipedia policy. So, done here. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 20:29, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's better. Just seemed weird that it wasn't done in the first place. Chaheel Riens (talk) 06:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
