** It just seems ... odd. It's just pure conjecture. He could really be anywhere between 44 and 120. I just don't see the value in listing a guess, I guess. The other ages (13 in 2003, etc.) seem to be the way to go, but if we don't have an age, we don't have an age. We could just as easily put "16+" on the [[armed robber]] since he's driving a car, but I don't see the point.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:00, 28 March 2007 (EDT) |

***I posted more on this in Ryans talk, but my point is to not have to 'do the math' in getting a modern ball-park age for these folks. An example would be if someone in a new episode is debuted that might share some characteristics with these guys, and we watching them might not know their exact age, but would have a good idea. Zane looked to be in his 30s. Dale looked to be in her 50s. etc... If there had been a journal entry for Dale taken in 1972, 35 years ago, and it said her age then was 16....it might appear to not be a possible match. I asked Ryan in his talk section if it would at least be OK to cite their present-day minimum age in the 'Notes' Section, so we at least don't have to 'do the math' each time we want to figure out how old they would be in the current day.

****Yes, that's exactly right. It's fine in notes, but it's still speculation as to the character's actual age, so it doesn't belong in the infobox. Also, in the notes you can explain the reasoning, which lets people judge the value of the assessment.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:15, 28 March 2007 (EDT) |

Revision as of 19:15, 28 March 2007
Age
If we don't know an age, we shouldn't list anything.--Hardvice (talk) 14:38, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
- He was an adult in 1981. (26 years ago) He would at least be in his 50s in 2007. Maybe older, but at least that old. Citing the present-age in consideration of the age at the time the journal entry was taken 'might' aid in identifying these people in future episodes. In their case, we have an age-range, not an exact age. It should be acceptible. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 03/28/2007 14:42 (EST)

The other ages (13 in 2003, etc.) seem to be the way to go, but if we don't have an age, we don't have an age.
