Valve statement dismissing the Medic's Nazi connection

I have only found secondhand references to a supposed "official Valve statement" that dismisses the Medic having any kind of Nazi past. I did track it down to here [1] that cites "fans that toured Valve" (which is perhaps a joke itself) but the link is dead. I've seen zero official comments anywhere else and most forum posts are just perpetuating it without a source. Can these references be removed entirely? It's only speculation at this point and seems like something that lacks value in being repeated. Malthenius 01:45, 01 December 2010 (UTC)

I still vote to have this trivia piece dropped. It's unnecessary, negative attention to a rumor that has no evidence or backing whatsoever. _Malthenius Backpack Sandvich.png 04:35, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

New Taunt?

Today's (Nov. 19 2010) update stated that; Added the original Ubersaw taunt to the Vita-Saw. Has anybody tried this out yet? Jub 00:18, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

It's the same taunt as the Bonesaw, not the Übersaw. Both are the "world's smallest violin" animations, but the Vita-Saw's violin sound is different in pitch and tone than the Bonesaw one. Malthenius 23:01, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
I have tried it. When you taunt with the Vita-Saw you will taunt and play music the same way as if by the Bonesaw, but instead of hearing music played by violen, it plays the music by electric guitar. I think that is very cool.Jarhead 04:10, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Jarhead
I'm a little late to the party here but what they meant was the Übersaw's original taunt was the same as the bonesaw but with the deeper (if I remember right Viola) sounds. Then they added the Spinal Tap taunt kill for Übersaw and the sounds fell to the wayside until the Vita-saw got them. Sage J. Fox 01:04, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Stuttgart?

Where does it say the Medic hails from Stuttgart? I often find myself lurking around the wiki, thinking I could use a reference. ~ lhavelund (tc) 15:33, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

My edit removed?

I had an edit under trivia that described that the Medic was the only healthy class. Admittedly, it wasn't perfect, but instead of being edited or revised, it was flat-out deleted. Could I get some clarification as to why? I believe mine was a worthy contribution to the page. HisMajesty 15:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

We are removing all observational trivia from the pages. This is part of an ongoing effort to clean up the trivia pages on the site. If you feel like you need any further clarification, put a message on my talk page. --Subtlefuge 15:57, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Trivia suggestion

Medic is the only class who got a weapon with no downsides and yet better than his default one (and that is Amputator). Markfrompoland 21:08, 6 February 2011 (UTC)\

I think that might go better on the actual Amputator page or in interesting facts. Pierow 05:58, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

100% Charge Doktor!

i just wanted to point out i changed the description in the ubersaw taunt kill stating that after a succesful taunt the entire uber charge bar is filled (the Hatless update) Gamecrazy009 06:44, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Quote at the top

Does no one else think that "Now, most hearts couldn't withstand zis voltage, but I'm fairly certain your heart..." is a bit uninteresting/too specific to be the Medic's quote?

I would have thought that "Anyway, that's how I lost my medical license" or "I have no idea!" (Perhaps followed by 'The Medic, on his professional modus operandi'?) would be suitable...
