| − | :The slash is meant to indicate a separation between normal and overhealed.

| − | ::I thought the slash format was just "original / different from original due to a specific condition", regardless if it has to do with health. You downright lost me on your second sentence. It wouldn't be inconsistent if the other class' pages underwent the same change. I see absolutely no difference between having the slashes and tooltips on the health and on the running speeds.

| − | ::::: I don't think it's clear at all and I want to know what evidence you have to prove your theory is more than speculation. Plenty of characters in comic fiction have been called thing like John Doe and the joke being everyone assumes its a false name, or film dirctors called Allan Smithie, and that turns out to be their real name. As far as I can see in tf2 no character ever says anything that hints the name is false, when the administrator talks to him she says Mr Doe not Mr "Doe" or any other way of showing a name is false. I know where the name comes from but as far as I can see the joke is the reveal that the hitherto unknown Soldier's real name is the same name given to unknown soldiers, and then gave him a female version just to add extra humour.

Irregardless of other examples you could pose, the fact still remains there is no reason we should lead readers to believing his name given in official media is an alias. We didn't know his name before the comic (unlike the TF2 is hat simulator thing) and Valve hasn't given us any reason to doubt it's his real name other than the name "Jane Doe" meaning something outside of TF2.

The problem is, in my opinion, that the sentence make reader think that the Poland was a nazi country and the Soldier was already killing Poles, who seems to be those "nazis" in the text. I'd like to propose to change it to "before embarking on a Nazi Germans killing spree". I hope You would understand my upset because of this awkwardly constructed sentence.

| − | == "Favourite World War" ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | In Soldier's Bio section there is a part that says "Favourite World War: 2." While that's probably true, is there any definitive source for that? There's no reference next to it and it's not from the old trailers. It also oddly uses the non-American spelling of "favourite."

| − | == The Opening Sentence ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I feel I should mention that the very first sentence doesn't really make much sense. It says "The Soldier is a crazed, jingoistic patriot from Midwest, USA." The way that the sentence is structured implies that he's from a city/state in the United States called "Midwest," yet the word "Midwest" links to the Wikipedia article for that general region of the country, being the [[w:Midwestern United States|Midwestern United States]]. I understand that the character's official bio directly states "Midwest, USA," but I highly doubt that they're referring to a city/state called Midwest. Ideally, the sentence should go something along the lines of "The Soldier is a crazed, jingoistic patriot from [[w:Midwestern United States|Midwestern America,]]" or "...[[w:Midwestern United States|the American Midwest.]]" I know it's an extremely minor technicality to point out, but I feel that every article should read as fluidly as possible. It certainly distracted me enough to try and fix it. I'd fix it myself, but the page is locked, which I completely understand. I hope I'm not overstepping or overcomplicating anything, I'm fairly new to editing for this wiki, and I have yet to completely understand how every part of it works. If I've made any mistakes in my post here, please let me know. [[User:Treese|Treese]] ([[User talk:Treese|talk]]) 20:48, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

| − | : Someone who grew up in the Midwest, at least one of my age, would not think twice about the expression. "Midwest, U.S.A." is a common expression and is just a generality, a way to say Soldier is from the American Heartland, you know, like [[w:James T. Kirk|James T. Kirk]]. Like "Midway, U.S.A." and [[:File:Bloodbrothers3.jpg |"Badlands, New Mexico"]], sometimes with a comma, sometimes without. It also strikes me as very much a comic book style when intending to be non-specific. It's nothing to get hung about.

| − | == Screaming Eagles ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | One of Soldier's voice responses to destroying a building is "Screamin' Eagles!", which I believe is a reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101st_Airborne_Division 101st Airborne Division], which were nicknamed the "Screaming Eagles". Is it possible to add that to his Trivia section?
