The Sniper's badge is not quite accurate.  The entire background, other than a small team-colored ring, should be yellow. (I could provide a screencap from the SDK if necessary.) [[User:Dotchan|Dotchan]] 21:13, 25 November 2010 (UTC)dotchan

An admin once told me that bugs concerning items or character's models shouldn't be listed on the Trivia section, so I was wondering if we should remove the last line of the Sniper's Trivia, which says "The Sniper's world model is only seen with a fingerless glove on his left hand, and a watch on his left arm, where all of his view models have a glove on both hands, and no watch. (Viewmodel_fov must be set higher to see the watch, or lack thereof.)" [[User:Allukard|Allukard]] 07:25, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

After thinking about it for a bit, I'm pretty sure Sniper's first name is Dick. Why? Well, "Crocodile" Dundee's name is Mick Dundee. Swap the first two letters, and you have Dick Mundee! Ha, fool proof. Not to mention that a lot of sniper players are dicks! {{Citation needed}}

Update history feels off

There are some entries in the update section that mentions updates to the Sniper class in general, but not to Sniper himself.
For example:

"December 22, 2009 Patch" - "Updated the Baseball and Jarate HUD indicators to stay on screen when full."
"June 18, 2014 Patch" - "The Bushwacka can no longer randomly crit." / "The Hitman's Heatmaker now activates focus by pressing 'reload'."

I don't believe this type of entry should be listed in the update history section. We should either:
- List all entries related to all changes done to Sniper (weapons changes, cosmetics changes etc.); - List only entries related to the Sniper himself, and not entries that are related to the class in general (I prefer this option).

We should also see how similar articles behave about this to see if they are consistent.
