==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>

==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)
