Maybe it should be mentioned that unlike all of the other characters, Cordy verbalized her thoughts essentially verbatim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.253.191.171 (talk) 08:57, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
While it was obviously something like an astral projection, I'm not sure that is the proper term. She was clearly corporeal throughout the episode, with people and things touching her. Spike drank her blood, and Angel made out with her. Re-think word choice if possible.
No evidence this was astral projection. In fact, given the theme of the season and later events with Connor, it is more likely that Cordelia did, in fact, wake up and the rest was an alteration of reality/the perceptions of those who encountered her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.159.233 (talk) 21:06, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Does an article on basically a character in a Trash-TV series have to be so long?
After all, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" isn't "Roots" or "Star Trek".
Trash-TV? On what grounds? 24.14.120.92 10:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Obviously yes. You found it necessary to click on the Cordelia Chase link for some information on the character, so yes it does have to be so long.
I think Buffy and Angel are amazing,and the series is layered and nuanced. Cordelia Chase did some of the most development of any of the characters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:F0B0:2FC0:986B:3E86:AD48:97F4 (talk) 03:57, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
When did the "persona" of Cordelia actually die? --MagicPath111 04:36, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
In the episode Benediction, she ascended to a become a higher being, thus losing her humanity. When she appeared in season four, it was either as a higher being (episode 4x01-03), as an amneatic Cordelia (episode 04x04-06), as a form of Jasmine or unconscious (episode 4x17 and onwards). the last time she appeares is as a solid astral being. Her persona died when she ascended into a higher being.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.200.165.154 (talk • contribs)
Does someone bolder than I want to clean-up the Jasmine sections? There seems to be a large amount of nonfactual information about how Cordelia was effected. For instance "It manipulates her sympathy for Connor and terror at the impending apocalypse to make her sleep with him" We have no idea if this is true, there may not have been anything of Cordelia present at the point. A large part of the material on Jasmine's effect seems like pure guesswork.--Nalvage 20:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't think that the info should be revealed in the same way as the show, because although Season 4 is amazing, it's also a total headache that involves lots of back tracking. I think that the "fallen power" should be referred to as Jasmine from the begining of this section, for clarity's sake.
This is the whole Jasmine deal as far as I understand it:
Don't know if that's helpful, but sometimes seeing it all laid out in seperate sections helps me understand stuff.
Cordy's birthday is often incorrectly given as May 22. This incorrect date comes from a misinterpretation of the events of the episode "The Prodigal" in which they get an alarm for the office, and Cordy suggests that they use her birthday as the deactivation code. We later see that the code they chose was 0522.
But the actual dialog goes:
Cordy: Come on. The installation guy said it should be something easy to remember, like - my birthday.
Angel: I don't know your birthday.
Cordy: Yeah, tell me something that you don't know that I *don't* know. But after eleven and a half months of punching it into this, you won't have any excuses.
Which says that Cordy's birthday had been a couple of weeks ago, and Angel didn't give her anything for it.
I think that they chose a different date for the code; one that would be significant to them all: The day they blew up Sunnydale High.
Cordy's birthday is in December, 1980. "Birthday" aired in January, but there are references to Christmas being in the future in it.
(1980 because she's taking Driver Ed in "Witch", and has her license by "Prophecy Girl" so it can't be later than that, and I don't see Cordy waiting over a year to start taking driving lessons, so it can't be earlier than that either.) Don Sample 18:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Unless she was held back, Cordelia would have had to have been born in 1981 in order to graduate in 1999. 198.166.41.238 23:33, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
She looks so cute in that new picture somebody put up! Woohoo! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.200.165.75 (talk) 19:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC).
I prefer the old one with the katana. She looked cooler in that one, can't somebody put it back up? Paul730 03:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Why in the world does someone keep replacing the jpg with a png? It drives me freaking crazy. I went out of my way to get an exact copy of the image in JPEG form, and BetaCommandBot keeps telling me it's going to be deleted. This picture was on the "Needs to be JPEG" list. I don't want to assume bad faith, but it seems that png-elitist keeps coming through. And just to make sure I don't have to deal with deletion anymore:
Image:CordeliaChase.jpg -- trlkly 13:23, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
(undent)If you have any counter arguments for keeping the PNG, I suggest you put them here. Also, the PNG is scheduled to be deleted in 7 days or so, so I suggest you figure out the appropriate way to prevent this, as I had to do for the JPEG.

Image:Cordelia Bewitched.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Should Dennis the Ghost be in the Romantic Relationships section? They are roommates and there is suggestion of a physical connection between them as Cordelia slips to Wesley and Angel in the Season 3 Episode, "Waiting in the Wings". --121.219.103.204 (talk) 14:37, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
We definitely need a more out-of-universe style for this article, more like the one for Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. I found this interview that has David Greenwalt and Charisma Carpenter's thoughts on Cordelia. I'll hopefully be back to work the info in, but it would be great if anyone wants to get started on it now. --Kweeket Talk 22:34, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Until the poster completes the fair use rational for the picture s/he uploaded, I'm putting the other one back. If this is fixed, I would love to have the new image, but I don't know enough about it to tag it myself. Of course, I'm not sure current Wikipedia policy allows publicity photos. Screenshots have been the standard for a while.
If we can't use the awesome new picture, and you still don't like the original, those of you have a DVD of an episode can find a better one. Anyways, I'm off to inform the poster of my work. -- trlkly 03:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
The article looks good. I'm going to go through and clean some things up, but I'll leave comments here on things that a little too big or require primary editor attention. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 17:04, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Rather then continue the beginning edit-war, shall we keep the Powers and Abilities section? My reasoning is there is one for just about every other BtVS/Angel character, and that information is not easily elucidated from the article. Allan5366 (talk) 12:12, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Jeez, I really kept meaning to do this but I've been overworked lately because of Mods exams so thank you very much! ~ZytheTalk to me! 13:51, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
I think the birth date of Cordelia_Chase from Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_(TV_series) and Angel_(TV_series) should be added in her article. I know she 21 in the episode of angel Birthday_(Angel). So her birthday must be January 14, 1981. Neptunekh2 (talk) 03:53, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
actually, cordelia had a prop ID and her birthday on it was january 14, 81. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.73.157.115 (talk) 16:55, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
