[edit] Re-organization
What does this organization do? What kind of drugs were they dealing?
~~Joe~~ What order are sections in now? I can get behind rank order but the current organization doesn't make any sense to me. Why are the 1st season soldiers who died ahead of everyone else?
How is Levy a front worker? Which front is he a part of? B&B was run by Stringer with minimal involvement from Levy. His advisory role better places him in leadership in my opinion.--Opark 77 09:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- What I was going for was a logic to it, story-wise. All the first season soldiers are together (alphabetical), then the next crop alphabetically because it's largely a different storyline. This was because I had thought it was agreed that there was going to be one master alphabetical list of characters which then linked to pages like this, like the 'Sopranos' one. I did this because I was reading it and I thought it got really confusing that, for instance, it would be Gerard, Little Man, Sapper, Savino (with other ones scattered in there as well); the brief descriptions of Gerard and Sapper complement each other, and Little Man and Savino are the same way. We could explicitly split the soldiers by season, that might make things easier.
- As for Levy, I think it's somewhat questionable to say that a lawyer who represents drug dealers, even occassionally advising them, is in a "leadership" position. I stuck him in front because his activities are strictly legal, and he exists to attempt to make the Barksdales seem more legitimate, but I agree that's a random spot. I don't see how Levy really fits in any category that exists there. Really, there could be a category which includes Levy, Krawcyk, and Clay Davis ... but that seems redundant, since they'd all be links to the real entries anyway. But some sort of "Legal Advisor" status or something. ThatGuamGuy 18:14, 28 February 2007 (UTC)sean
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Wire DeLonda.jpg
Image:The Wire DeLonda.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Adding a Redirect
I think a redirect should be added to this page for "Barksdale Organisation" (British English spelling - The 'z' in Organization change to an 's') —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.243.47 (talk) 17:07, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
