Talk:Harry Mason

Icons
Unlike the movie characters, I personally think that since the characters in Silent Hill 1 and Shattered Memories are so closely tied together, it's probably worth keeping the icons for both games on each of their pages. We have a brief overview of SM Harry on the SH1 Harry's page, and vice versa, so I think it's alright to have the icons as well. I'm open to opposite thoughts though, so state your view here. However, if for example people believe that Harry in SM should be completely separated from SH1 Harry, we should probably remove the overview of SM from Harry's page (and vise versa) as well. Discuss! --Faded-Myth 13:32, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I think keeping together is fine for now. I may feel different when SM is released, but until then, SH1 Harry is our go-to guy regarding...people named Harry...? --TheGoodman 13:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm going to name my first child Harry Mason. Even if it's a girl. --Faded-Myth 13:57, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

My reason for removing those icons is that I thought the point of the Era-icons was to illustrate the main subjects that the article cover to help readers quickly understand what this article is abut. Since most of SH1/3's Harry's info is in this article I removed the SH1 and SH3 icons from SM's Harry's article, and visa-versa with the SM-icon on this article. The "for other roles" text was directly beneath the icons so I didn't think that would be a problem. --Painocus 13:59, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * They do that, yes, but they exist mostly to link to that character's related games. And since Harry is quite similar in both the games, for now I've linked them to each other as we thought it was worth keeping the full synopsis in the article. I agree with Goodman that even my opinion might change once SM is out, for now there's less of a difference between these two than say the game and film Alessa's. --Faded-Myth 14:01, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, put that way, I suppose it not too big a deal. With a disambig, we can always remove the SM references...and your little girl will grow to hate you in that case, FM...very much, methinks. --TheGoodman 14:08, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm cool with that. Like I said I mostly included it since it's a quick link, but the Disambiguation link at the top kind of sorts that out anyways. And hah, I know. But I can live with that ;) --Faded-Myth 14:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol. --TheGoodman 14:12, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure, You can name your girl child Harry Mason, But I'll name mine "Hooaryou" (happy 24th birthday Hooaryou!)--Dfskelleton 04:54, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

"Harry Mason" VS "Harry Mason (Silent Hill)"
Shouldn't this page be at Harry Mason instead of Harry Mason? I now there is multible "Harry Mason" articles, but SH1's Cybil's article is at Cybil Bennett even thought there is also a Cybil Bennett (film) and wikipedia and most other wikis keep the most obvious use of an article's title on just the title and the rest with something in parentheses. --Painocus 21:18, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Fine with me. I was just being really specific, but if you think there's no need, then shoot for it. --Faded-Myth 03:47, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Moved. --Painocus 07:16, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Harrold Mason
An official source has stated the name is Harrold "Harry" mason. I don't see where someone should be able to remove it just because said user "thinks" it "might" be a goof. AlessaGillespie 14:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, it's just him again. Don't worry about it, Translated Memories and the official strategy guide state his full name is Harrold. Oh, and don't forget, majority rules! AlexShepherd 21:54, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's me again. Did you miss me? Sorry to disappoint you but the feeling is NOT mutual. By the way, the official strategy guide says his name is "Harold" NOT Harrold. And of course majority rules but you still want to insist Cybil is dead DESPITE the compromise that was agreed upon. There's no proof she's dead.

But I digress, the names "Harrold" and "Harold" are never acknowleged in the game. You can't ignore that.


 * The fact that two different official sources say 'Harold' (despite that one is a misspelling) makes it pretty clear that he was always intended to only have 'Harry' as a nickname. The only thing up for debate is which spelling is correct. AlessaGillespie 22:41, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If that were true than they would have included the name in the game manual. But anyway, I did make a compromise. I'm not that pedantic.


 * This isn't going to make me very popular, but I will admit I'm not too phased with having Harry's full name in the trivia section. The Book of Lost memories isn't 100% accurate, as proven with the mess it makes of the Mumblers and Clawfingers and their relevant stalker forms. But that doesn't mean Harry's full name isn't accurate. I'm going to call this to vote now on whether to leave Harry's full name in the trivia section, or in the first line as "Harold "Harry" Mason". If you're outvoted, whatever the outcome, then everyone will just have to deal with it. It's really a trivial point since it's on the article no matter what, so really it doesn't matter in the end. But to settle the issue, place your opinion, and then just drop the argument. After some deliberation, my argument is for Harry's name to be in the Trivia section since the article name itself is Harry, not Harold. But if I'm outvoted, and I probably will be, then I'm, just as happy to have it at the top. And only people who actually have a legitimate signature and account will have their vote counted, so be sure to sign. -- 20:17, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Opening Section Two different official sources saying the same thing means it must be true, and shouldn't be left at the bottom of the page.  AlessaGillespie  Talk   Contributions  20:37, September 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * My argument would be that they're supporting documents and not the game itself. If depends on how much stock we want to put into them, and how they relate to the universe by being out-of-universe documents. The Trivia section shouldn't be considered an unimportant part of the page. As it is, the Trivia section acknowledges the out-of-universe documents and Harry's referred name, so it makes sense to me. These are just my two cents though. -- 20:45, September 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * I vote Harrold. Xeno the Hedgehog 20:52, September 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * I take it you mean including his name at the top of the page? -- 20:55, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Opening Section I think it should at least be mentioned at the top of the page (we don't have to rename it and change every single mention of his name in the entire wiki of course). In the Book of Lost Memories, it says that Harry was the nickname of the person who named the character. Nickname, eh?

A majority of the ages given in Lost Memories are never given out in the game (for example, Vincent is around 24-26 but his age is never mentioned in the game). If we don't include Harry's full name in the beginning of the article, we may as well take Vincent's age out of his infobox and put it at the bottom of his page in a trivia section. ;S

Also, if you type "Harrold Mason Silent Hill" in Google, it seems widely recognized that his full name is "Harold" or "Harrold". I think the real question is: why not? AlexShepherd 23:26, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

One quick thing
I remember I was on some website and this girl had said that while she was looking over the render of Harry's skin in Silent Hill 3 that she found a tiny, unnoticable scar on his nose. Is this true? I have no way of figuring this out on my own since I'm a computer dummy and I know how to do is get on the internet. SeagullBite 19:59, March 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Considering it was on his nose, it's more likely that it was a darkened region meant to emphasize its shape, given the limited polygon count of the models in the first game. However, it is possible that he did indeed have a scar.  Xeno the Hedgehog 07:21, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

Relations with Baby Heather
So wait he wanted to sometimes kill Heather when she was a baby because she was a reincarnation of Cheryl but a reincarnation is the exact person so he had Cheryl back why get mad?LisaGarland101

Harry/Ash
Alright, I was reading stuff up on angelfire.com the other day and this guy said that Harry and Ash (a character from evil dead) look very similar, even going as far as to say that the chainsaw and shot-gun from the game were based off Ash. I looked into it and personally, i can see a lot of resemblance. Their hair, face, clothes and body build are quite alike. But what do you guys think? Am I just blind or am i on to something?

Harry And Harry (Shattered Memories)
This is about Harry and Harry (Shattered Memories). how they are different and how they are alike!

Being a voracios blogger (and having gotten my fair share of trouble for it too) I must suggest you put this on a blog. The talk pages ar mostly used for solving problems and resolving confusing issues. Be careful. I'll be happy to comment on a blog like this, seeing as i'm on cooldown for my own.

Expanding SH1 section
I'd like to see Harry's SH1 section expanded since right now it's a little short. Hopefully someone can help make it more detailed. Much appreciated to anyone who can help assist. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  21:56, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
