Talk:List of references

Other Games Referencing TF2

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.

General References

I believe the bot name "CRITRAWKETS" is a reference to the webcomic Nerf Now, which features a recurring soldier with this name. Should it be added here or not? Kane.malakos 04:44, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Link us to the comics, and make sure it isn't the other way 'round ;) ~ lhavelund ^{(talk ▪ contrib)} 04:45, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

[1] 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. I'm just not sure whether it's a reference to the comic or a coincidence. Kane.malakos 01:12, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

What needs fixing?

I'd like to work on cleaning up and expanding this article, but I'm unsure of what needs to be fixed and where expansion needs to take place. Could someone more experienced give me an idea of where to start? Colonelcool 19:39, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Refer to botnames

• Considering bot names already have a section explaining their references, should we just link to that for bot name references? --Stevoisiak 00:23, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

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. 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. Cooper Kid (Blether)·(Contreebs) 23:44, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
