Talk:Walter Skinner

From X-Files Wiki

If this is out of order, I apologize, but I like to have a plan before I begin working on anything. Feel free to edit as you like.

Here's the current outline of the Walter Skinner page

• 1 History

1.1 Supervising the X-Files

1.2 A Personal X-File

• 2 Appearances

Let's keep the organization the same as Scully and Mulder's pages - those are very good examples of complete and interesting pages.

How about this for starters:

• 1 FBI Career

1.1 Early Career

1.2 Supervising the X-Files

1.3 After the X-Files closed

1.4 Continuation of the X-Files

• 2 Career History
• 3 Relationships

3.1 Family

3.2 Romantic Interests

3.3 Colleagues

3.4 Enemies

• 4 Miscellaneous Information
• 5 Background Information
• 6 Appearances

Just a minor correction - the Mulder and Scully pages are far from complete! Also, I don't think Skinner's article should necessarily be organized the same as those two, but probably only similar (largely due to his supervisory role). I suggest adding an "Adherents" section for all his relationships with the agents he supervised (including perhaps also a few lines about his secretary, Arlene). I don't recall whether he was ever established as having "family", as such (apart from Sharon Skinner, who was once his wife). And I'm not sure where the Cigarette Smoking Man ("colleague"? "enemy"?) or Sharon Skinner ("romantic interest"? "family"?) would go in the relationships sections. The rest seems to be fine, though... for now! :-) --Mulder 08:22, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits and Commentary

Under the “Enemies” section, it had read, “Skinner had a very personal hatred of Alex Krycek.” This is speculation; we don’t know for sure what Skinner felt. It could have been mere contempt. I think that section should come out. --Sylvia de marc 00:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
