Vault 11
That is way too much of a stretch to be a notable connection. In addition, Behind the scenes sections are meant for brief acknowledgements of an allusion. If it takes that long to explain, it's probably not a reference.--Gothemasticator 20:25, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Vault 11
Like I stated in previous edits, the wording of the sentences commanding the Courier to sit down are exactly like the phrases used in the Milgram Experiment, which had a very specific purpose. Also, the Vault applies authoritarian pressure in the same way pressure was applied in the Milgram Experiment. It also displays how personal responsibility is diluted when the offending action (electric shock in the Milgram Experiment, sacrifice in Vault 11) is commanded by a superior authority, in Vault 11's case, the community decision to execute an individual under the pain of undisclosed punishment.

As for credibility, I'm a Masters student of Psychology at the Faculty of Psychology, University of Lisbon and I've collaborated in the creation of two projects that had a further discussion of Dr.Milgram's studies as their main goal.

Any other doubt can be easily removed with a quick consultation of the Wikipedia page for the Milgram Experiments. If the thematic and methodology don't convince you, the 4 verbal prods should do the trick.
 * In that case, please rewrite the entry concisely, with a comparitive statement about the sets of instructions (your original entry did not say they were exactly the same) and include a link to an informative article about the experiment.


 * This was never about your personal credibility. Here's what it's about: "Behind the scenes" sections serve only to point out that such-and-such in the game is making an allusion to such-and-such out in the world. A lot of what I do is to minimize the section in all articles, because it has a tendency to go far afield and detract from the more informational aspects of the rest of the article.


 * If you can write it up as specified above, then it will stand. Lengthy and vague claims about how something "is similar to" or "resembles" another thing just aren't strong enough to include. In this case, that means playing up the verbal cues and playing down the thematic and methodology.
