| − | Should there be a page to list references other games have to team fortress, or should they be added here? For example, one level of Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond is heavily team-fortress themed, including a wild west theme, the Meet The Spy announcer board, enemy engineers with sentry guns, and more.

| − | ::[http://nerfnow.com/comic/6] Here's the first appearance of the character (one of the soldiers that kills the pyro.) It's from February of 2008, so I think it predates the bots.

| − | == Should this article be deleted? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | As far as I can see, this article consists of remarks about a map (which has its own article, and could have this fact mentioned in the trivia section), bot names (which are listed in the "bots" article), promotional items (which don't really count in my opinion and have their own articles anyway), a remark about the game's art style (which isn't really a reference), a sound effect from the second trailer (which isn't exactly a reference either, more a point of trivia), references to TF2 in other games (which is a different subject alltogether), and exactly three remarks than fall into none of these categories. In my opinion, this article is pretty unnecessary and redundant. [[User:Zoon-li|Zoon-li]] 03:31, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

| − | :You're right in many respects; most of the info here is already mentioned elsewhere, such as the Lumbricus Lid reference to Worms (which is on the Soldier references page). Maybe we should change it so that this page lists references which aren't covered elsewhere, like all-class hats and items? I'll maybe have a proper look at it once I'm done re-formatting the other reference pages.

| − | == Myth? == | |
| − | Hello. I want to correct russian article, but i dont understand this sentense:
| |
| − | {{Quotation|
| |
| − | The Soldier and Demoman often reference Greek myth in their taunts of each other, especially concerning the Cyclops.}}
| |
| − | What are taunts? Сan give a more concrete? Cyclops? [[User:Norri|Norri]] 03:15, 15 September 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :The taunts in question are when they shout insults at each other, usually after a domination. A cyclops is a mythological creature with one eye - it is often used to refer to the Demoman because of his visual impairment.

| − | == Achievement references expanded into own section of page? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | With the announcement of several Doomsday achievements with astronomy term-based names, I went to add some of them to the reference page, but noticed the [[Foundry]] achievements on the main reference page only discuss those that refer to works of fiction. This was odd, as the achievement section of class-specific reference pages not only cover references to films, books, etc, but also covers general references, (such as the scout and spy's references to baseball and covert-op terminology, respectively).
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm proposing that these remaining Foundry achievements are added, and since adding the Doomsday ones as well will expand the "other" section considerably, I'm also proposing that these are moved to a new "achievement" section of the page, complete with the achievement images, not unlike the class reference pages.

| − | *Sounds good to me. I'm actually perplexed as to why the achievement references aren't listed on this page. [[User:HibiscusKazeneko|HibiscusKazeneko]] 14:06, 4 July 2012 (PDT)

| − | ::Update: Added the achievement section to the page. I'm sure there's references I'm missing (including other general achievements), but it's a start. [[User:Taxiderby|Taxiderby]] 00:32, 11 July 2012 (PDT)

| − | :Sorry, I was on holiday for a few days and completely forgot that I'd intended to do this! I've added a few more to the list, categorised the existing ones and alphabetised them. Please remember that everything on reference pages is supposed to be in alphabetical order. {{User:Cooper Kid/Signature}} 04:55, 11 July 2012 (PDT)

| |
| − | | |
| − | Do you think that Brown Bomber is a reference to Megaman, also being known as the Blue Bomber? [[User:Flashn00b|Flashn00b]] 15:34, 4 July 2012 (PDT)
| |
| − | :Not really - it's a bomber hat, and it is brown. It's just alliteration. {{User:Cooper Kid/Signature}} 15:57, 4 July 2012 (PDT)
