Honestly the entire article should now be cleaned up. Both the biography and the comic synopses should be merged into a single biography to remove the repetition in the content. There is no need to have two biographies. There is also no reason to have sections based on individual issues now that everything has been released. It can all be set up chronologically. Also there is no reason to discuss the flashbacks as flashbacks they could be inserted into where they take place chronologically, with only a nod that he a flash back to that point in time in later sections.[[User:Baggins|Baggins]] ([[User talk:Baggins|talk]]) 02:39, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

:Note that as of April 29th, I am removing the "cleanup" tag. As said in my edits, I think that the article is leaps and bounds better than it was when the tag was put there. While I'm sure there are small things that could be fixed up, I don't think it warrants the tag any longer. Especially with how the [[Thrall]] and other racial leaders have been as of late (for example). We have sources cited, we have accurate information, we have things in chronological order, no red links, most of it is concise, and there are good images (and not too few or too many).

The discussion page was getting very bloated, especially with dead forum-like postings that had nothing to do with the article. I have archived the page. I'm sure that in the coming months there will be plenty new updates with King Varian Wrynn to discuss. [[User:Tevri|Tevri]] ([[User talk:Tevri|talk]]) 00:47, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I need someone to beat back the {{NPC||Rotting Dead||rotting dead}} and {{NPC||Ravaged Corpse||ravaged corpses}} that have taken this small farm. Scatter their bones and bring back their putrid claws. The [[Deathguards]] will reward you.
== NPCBox ==
 
−
I updated the NPCBox a bit. "Lo'Gosh the Ghost Wolf" isn't really his title per say, it's an alias. It's mentioned a few times later in the article, so I removed it for now, but perhaps there's a way to add "Aliases" in the box? Or, the intro to the article could read: "'''Varian Wrynn''', also known as '''Lo'Gosh''' the Ghost Wolf, is the son of the late...." I prefer a simple box-fix though. I also threw in his aggro (hostile to Horde, friendly to Alliance) -- I'm fairly certain all other racial leaders have that. And, I added a few of his known friends: [[Bolvar Fordragon]] (deceased), [[Valeera Sanguinar]], [[Tirion Fordring]], and [[Broll Bearmantle]].

:I think the evidence shows that Highlord Bolvar is not dead, however, I don't think we can really get too much into that with this page. Where it says "deceased" next to Bolvar's name in npcbox, I'll link this section of the Bolvar article for people wanting to know more: http://www.wowwiki.com/Bolvar_Fordragon#Fate_of_Bolvar.

:All facts relevant to King Varian and his distaste for the Horde's faction are currently in the article (the orcs murdering of [[Llane Wrynn]], the Forsaken and the [[Wrathgate]], the Forsaken and Lordaeron, the orcs and [[Broken Front]], the orcs and [[Warsong]] and so on and so forth). All the information in the opinion article is correct, but not needed - we don't need to restate what's already been said. Also, I think the sentence is a bit unnecessary.

::That article explains his mindset perfectly, to my mind. However, wowinsider isn't Blizzard, and psychoanalysis is not part of what we do here. Yes, Varian's opinions are rarely justified, and it's good to see someone actually explaining his mindset for once- as the audience, we have the gift of clarity: we know that Jaina and Rhonin are right and that people like Varian and Garrosh need to move on, and we often forget that in the world itself, things aren't that simple.

:::I do disagree on the point of King Varian's distrust for the Horde; I don't think that 'moving on' is realistic after all that's happened. There is point when blind peace isn't the answer. The Horde (orcs and Forsaken specifically) have easily caused the deaths of more Alliance members than the Scourge and Yogg-Saron combined. It seems to work out that as far as the average Alliance person is concerned, they both are very dangerous, with leaders just as dangerous as the Lich King (i.e. Sylvanas, who wants to wipe out all life on Azeroth), not to mention the Horde actively occupying a human capital. Meh, but this isn't a forum. Bottom line, we shouldn't let the page devolve into an analysis of his beliefs. Well, there's the Admin if you really needed it Maelstrong.

:Honestly, that was completly out of line. You must be mistaking him for one of the [[Horde]] leaders like [[Sylvanas]], who is actively trying to wipe out all life on Azeroth.

== Exaggerated ==
 
−

The article is too puffed up! For example, almost every sentence made by Varian is eagerly copied into the 'Quotes' heading. Every picture available is shoved into the article, thinking that every fart must be accompanied by a screenshot. It makes the article less clarifying. I think it's too much. - [[User:Unireal|Unireal]] 16:24, 17 September 2009 (CET)

I can't help but notice that from the Revelations section to the end of the Corruption Ends section, the article is incredibly confusing.

I've been wondering how you pronounce his last name. I've heard many different variations, include (Rinn) and (Rine).

== Film Actors Edit ==
 
−  
−
Hi, I had one of my edits to Varian Wrynn changed. I put "Warcraft Movie Actors" then put the actor Mark Hildebrandt, and it was taken off. I got an e-mail that said what proof is there he is in the movie, meaning Mark Hildebrandt the actor or Varian Wrynn the character.
 
−  
−
I won't post it if you don't want, but Ive been following the Warcraft film for awhile, and there is no doubt Mark Hildebrandt is either playing Varian Wrynn, the "bad ass warrior" I believe is how they describe him, or an original character that is the lead of the film that is the "kick ass warrior."
 
−  
−
The reason being is he has been listed on IMDb as the lead of the Warcraft film, Varian Wrynn, for the better part of two years. Please see below, you might have to ace IMDb Pro.
 
−
[
 
−
[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2864849/]
 
−  
−
It's not like he was on IMDb then off, he has been listed for nearly two years. Also films that large in development or preproduction have the cast confirmed by the production office.
 
−  
−
Also the guy that trained Christian Bale for Batman Begins, and a lot of other well known actors for stage com at put "Sword Trainer for Mark Hildebrandt playing Varian Wrynn of Warcraft. " This is somebody with Legendary Pictures all over there resume. I just looked it's "Robert Goodwin" of film fighting LA, and Hildebrandt is really being advertised. It has been on Robert Goodwin's website for a long time so he is being trained to look seriously good wield a sword.
 
−  
−
Hildebrandt was also close to being the new "Mad Max," and is rumored to play Mark Antony against Angelina Jolie in Cleopatra. Point being he can act.
 
−  
−
I won't post it but it doesn't get much more factual then that. <small>—The preceding [[WoWWiki:Signature|unsigned]] comment was added by {{User|Ariel10}}.</small>
 
−  
−
:Doing a quick google search will tell you that he has [http://wow.incgamers.com/blog/comments/warcraft-movie-mark-hildebrandt-joins-the-rumor-mill/ debunked the rumor that he is involved in the Warcraft Movie]. --{{User:Gourra/Sig2}} 06:46, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 
−  
−
That is true, I have seen that, but actors are under gag orders. As you can see by the link/citations he is heavily advertised as Varian Wrynn by a stunt trainer. [http://www.stuntfightingworkout.com/][http://www.stuntfightingworkout.com/]Mark Hildebrandt is heavily advertised as being trained by this swordmaster who has trained Christian Bale for Batman Begins, also a Legendary Pictures film.

::That last comment is a little ironic, given that this is also a wiki that anyone could edit. IMO, you should ''reference'' real-world info like that, using a ''reliable'' source.
