Can't edit the article[]

For some reason, I can't edit the upper text of the article when I tried to put spaces between the comma's and replace

"Castis Vakarian is a Turian, a retired C-Sec officer,and the father of Garrus Vakarian and a unnamed daugther."

with

"Castis Vakarian is a retired C-sec officer, and the father of Garrus and Solana Vakarian."

Anyone know what's wrong or can make the edit for me? Megadracosaurus (talk) 13:43, March 23, 2017 (UTC)

Brandon Keener cameo[]

The newly passed amendment allowing for voice actor trivia to include mentions of voice cameos by significant people should apply to Brandon Keener's (Garrus) appearance as Castis. However, the fly in the ointment is confirmation that it is indeed him playing the character. His appearance is listed on IMBD, but I don't think we consider that alone good enough, correct? From searching, it looks like he's only credited in-game under "Additional Voices" so additional confirmation may be needed. Same deal with Ash/Liz Sroka (Tali) as Darket Tiervian.

just to clarify, your pet project proposal has nothing to do with confirming brandon keener as castis' voice (and sroka as a turian). andromeda credits list them in "additional voices". imdb is emphatically NEVER a valid source. what's required since way before that is a legit statement from the VAs or from someone who worked in bioware on the matter. blue ribbon verified twitters for starters.

So 1) yes, additional confirmation is needed and 2) you have moot but snide commentary about the proposal. Neither comes as a shock. Neo89515 (talk) 02:26, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
you're the one who brought up an irrelevant policy into the matter. for whatever reason. the mechanisms for confirming either voice actors were already in place long ago not because of your amendment.

The relevance of the policy is that, at least for this page, it would allow for a trivia note on Brandon Keener's significance (e.g. "Brandon Keener is best known for playing Garrus in the OT"), assuming confirmation for him playing Castis is obtained, whereas before it would only result in being able to put his name under "voice actor" in the character box. I mainly opened up this discussion to ask if there is any confirmation in the off-chance there was any, but the relaxed trivia policy is not wholly "irrelevant." Is it a big deal? No, but there's nothing wrong with mentioning it, despite your desire to be passive-aggressively dismissive. Neo89515 (talk) 15:56, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
bruh do you even read. long before i even got here it was perfectly fine to mention the guy's other bioware contributions. last i checked MEA is still a bioware game. off the top of my head, May O'Connell Admiral Kahoku Oleg Petrovsky Citadel Council#Trivia Dr. Chloe Michel Nihlus Kryik Fai Dan
when elders are schooling you listen the fuck up instead of doubling down on misconstruing every single thing as hostility then playing victim. kids these days.
