So I noticed that Zephyr's dialogue was removed from his article. I'm curious as to why, given that other characters like [[Miss Liberty]] have a section for dialogue. I can see reformatting it, but why remove it completely? [[User:Felderburg|Felderburg]] 18:27, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Dialogue Removed

So I noticed that Zephyr's dialogue was removed from his article. I'm curious as to why, given that other characters like Miss Liberty have a section for dialogue. I can see reformatting it, but why remove it completely? Felderburg 18:27, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
