Julia
It was always my understanding that Annie Parisse Julia and Sarah Brown Julia were the same character. Were they not? Mike H 06:35, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
- There were hints, but the show never said that SB's Julia was the same as Annie Parrisse. Maybe that will happen in the next month or so, but as of now there has been no evidence, and the show has never said they are the same.
- They would have to go the plastic surgery route too, since nobody has noticed the resemblance. And considering how successful the past two such storylines were on P&G soaps (Terri/Annie on GL; Reid/David on ATWT) I doubt they do that Juppiter 03:14, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I wanted to update the history section for Aaron/Alison since Agim is leaving...should I put a spoiler tag? --JamesB3 00:53, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- No. If you go into the future, then it is no longer a history. Best to wait until it happens. Mike H 05:32, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)
September 11 Reference
I know it was a wild guess, but frankly I thought it gave the article a cool historical context. I guess it's much too early for that though. It'll be five years before Sheffer and September 11, let alone the effect of the latter on the former, can be fairly evaluated.

Noughties
Can the term "noughties" be replaced with something else? Even "mid-2000s" is better in my opinion, but it should be retitled. Mike H 19:57, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Mid-2000s to me refers to c. 2050. What about just "Mid-'00s?"
- Juppiter 22:14, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
- The 2000s is just another decade. You wouldn't refer to 1950 as the mid-1900s, usually, would you? In any case, noughties to '00s is fine. Mike H 15:27, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
Dates
Please do not link individual years, per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Date_formatting and WP:CONTEXT. The exception is if the year is from a different decade than the previous article, for example referencing something which happened in the previous or next decade. Then, the year should be piped to the appropriate article:

I have been a fan of the show since the 60s when a babysitter got me hooked. I enjoyed the history/recaps, but a few really impotant storylines were left out, and I think it confuses modern viewers to not fully understand how Margo Hughes ended up with one son by Tom Huges and one by Hal. Also Margo's rape story is an important bit of character background.
Like most viewers, I enjoyed the wild antics of the Snyfer clan, and missed a lot of their storylines in the history - the Julie/Caleb/Holden triangle which produced Aaron, the wacky Ellie Synder and mafioso *who ended up with Emily Stewart, in fact) and the whole Tony Reyes storyline deserve mention, at least.

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

NPOV
Perhaps the most notorious hire from ABC Daytime was longtime One Life to Live actor Roger Howarth. Howarth was brought on as a recast for Paul Ryan. Some hardcore, devoted fans convinvced themselves that his over-the-top take on the character was much more appropriate than his predecessor Scott Holroyd's subtle, layered, and charming performance, but many viewers felt that Howarth did not understand the Paul character and was simply playing him as he'd played his role on One Life to Live. With Howarth's hammy histrionics in full flame, Paul became a much less interesting, and severely damaged, character.
This is horribly POV.
I'm sure there are other areas in this article (and perhaps the other "History of ATWT" articles as well) that are POV as well. --Silvestris 16:27, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Having written much of the article, I admit that much of it should be rewritten. However, my dedication to Wikipedia is not what it once was. Juppiter 15:37, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
