Title

Crap salad sandwiches! This one is also called "Unknown Soldiers", so we're going to have to rename parts 1 and 2 to be just "War Buddies, Part 1" and "War Buddies, Part 2". I've done the templates, but I haven't moved the articles or fixed the links. *Sigh*--Hardvice (talk) 06:14, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

• OK, I've moved the articles and updated the image categories. We'll still need to check Special:Whatlinkshere/Graphic Novel:The Lonestar File and Special:Whatlinkshere/Graphic Novel:Unknown Soldiers. We don't necessarily have to change every link to The Lonestar File, but since we have two Unknown Soldiers, that should become a disambig page, so we'll need to change every link. Grrrrrrr.--Hardvice (talk) 06:55, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
  • Unknown Soldiers is done. That was suspiciously easy...--Hardvice (talk) 07:22, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
  • The Lonestar File is done. Again, I'm about 90% sure I'm forgetting something.--Hardvice (talk) 07:41, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
• I dont get this 3 red links Special:Whatlinkshere/War_Buddies,_Part_3:_Unknown_Soldiers. --FrenchFlo(talk)(contribs) 07:47, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
  • Ever think that the writers are doing this just to play with us? I know I would if I were in their position. Next, I'd name episodes in different seasons the same. --AverageMan 08:41, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

Lead Image

Since we don't really have a new title to try to illustrate, I went for an important scene that differentiates this chapter from Part 2 and which, out of context, doesn't give too much away--but we can definitely change it. Ideas?--Hardvice (talk) 08:07, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

• Maybe we should go with the byline: "At the doorstep of paradise". The part when Austin and Dallas find Au Co seems to fit the bill. I'll upload it and see how it looks. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:42, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

Another one of Them?

Anyone besides me think the vegetables in that field look unnaturally large? --Ted C 09:58, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

Yes they do.--ASEO 10:48, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

Interactive Link

The link to the interactive novel, does not work. Do we want to have a direct link or chapter link, the other graphic novels' links may also need to be updated. -Lөvөl 12:24, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

• The link work for me, using Firefox and pdf plugin. It load the pdf printable version. --FrenchFlo (talk) ||||||||| 13:04, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
  • The Interactive comic on NBC.com not the PDF version. -Lөvөl 13:08, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
• For some reason, the interactive link changed its format. I switched it to the right one. Frustrating. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:43, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

Au Co

...should be a place, not a location. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:01, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
