==Removing information==
aprI added some information I noted from in game when I opened the game for the first time. Apparently, Buzz actually has a good relationship with a lot of his "enemies." The information kind of changed my interpretation of Buzz's character. However, the article doesn't read as smoothly as it used to... Any suggestions for improving it?

:It is just fine the way it is right now. With the paragraph you just added it is basically our biggest character article. - [[User:JEA13|<font color="orange">'''JEA13'''</font>]] <sup><nowiki>[</nowiki>[[User talk:JEA13|<font color="orange">iTalk</font>]]<nowiki>]</nowiki></sup> 23:20, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

While unconfirmed, General Buzz Grunt is probably based on[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coach_Buzzcut <u>Coach Bradley Buzzcut</u>] from MTV's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beavis_and_Butt-Head <u>Beavis and Butt-Head</u>].
Both characters are based on a very common drill sergeant stereotype and their names both reference a military-style haircut, but they have nothing else in common. Examples of dozens of characters like this are listed here: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DrillSergeantNasty <u>http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DrillSergeantNasty</u>]. It's much more likely that Buzz was meant to be an archetypical character in that mold. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:71.169.30.221|71.169.30.221]] ([[User talk:71.169.30.221|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/71.169.30.221|contribs]]) 05:25, June 6, 2011 (UTC) - [[Help:Signatures|Please sign your comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>]]</small>
==Buzz and Bella Goth==
I think they make a cute couple together!Im going to marry them soon in my game.

==Body skill points==
I looked at PT9 Smith's and General Buzz Grunt's Career Panels and found this
PT9's Body skill point level: 0 Body skill points

:They would have had the fight before Buzz reached maximum body skill. PT9 could've still beaten Buzz while the latter had nine body skills. ▼
:The reason I know is because in my game Tybalt lost a fight with Mercutio. Tybalt had ten body points and Mercutio had one. Therefore the scale was 95 / 05 to Tybalt. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.

::::Roughly 85% (add 35% from 50%) / 15% (subtract 35% from 50%) to the Sim with 7 body skills. So basically in maths, you subtract seven fives from one fifty, and stick them on to the end of the second fifty. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 08:25, July 4, 2015 (UTC)
==Strangetown General==
I never took Buzz seriously. For one thing he looks about 20 when he'd be something like 44. And for another - he has a soft and somewhat high [[Voice]] provided by Stephen Kearin. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.
: I'd say he looks somewhere around 35. And he does look a lot more kind-hearted with his appearance. [[User:Joey.eyeball|Joey.eyeball]] ([[User talk:Joey.eyeball|talk]]) 03:40, January 12, 2014 (UTC)
::I consider him to be somewhere around 44 because that's how many Sim days old he is, even though the lifespans and ages of Sims in the Sims 2 differ greatly from people. Here is my perspectives based on the number days in each life stage a Sim lives.

==Name==
So, the article is named "General Buzz Grunt" because his in-game name is the same. But, "General" is very obviously his rank, and is included in his name only because there is no option to allow titles in ''The Sims 2'' (or any other Sim game). But really, his name isn't "General Buzz", it's "Buzz." To that end, I think we should rename this page to just Buzz Grunt (and leave General Buzz Grunt as a redirect). -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 03:55, October 31, 2014 (UTC)
:Is there an article naming policy? The names of Sims are generally their in-game name, including any fancy titles like "General". Buzz Grunt is, from the top of my head, the only Sim so far that has a military rank in his name, so this is a unique issue. --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 14:15, November 1, 2014 (UTC)
::The only other Sim I can think of is Pirate Captain Edward Dregg. He used to have "Pirate Captain" in his title, but it has been changed to just [[Edward Dregg]], but that's because he reappeared in ''Island Paradise'' and he's called that, so he can't be used as an example for this case. I don't really mind having this page called "General Buzz Grunt" since it sticks to his name anyway...?
