Easter Eggs
Welcome to Wikipedia.

In reference to your removal of Easter Eggs, or more accurately, cultural references, that themselves are references to the original material: The continuity of the material's reference in multiple media is important, and the existence of alternate references adds verifiability to their status as a reference. Most importantly, they are interesting to fans of the media in which the reference occurs, in this case Starcraft. The quality of this page is not such that inconsistencies and relevance to Fallout is as large an issue as normal; I mean, c'mon, none of these are even Easter Eggs in the true sense of the word, See Discussion. Additions of new material are always appreciated. Thank you. VvAnarchangelvV 06:46, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see how the word "comrade" could be a reference to 1984 here. China was communist. Cheng is Chinese. "Comrade" is used in communist countries. The "is watching you" part - sure. But not "comrade". That's simply a reference to the word's use in communits countries made by both Orwell and Fallout 3. Ausir 21:36, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It's isn't so much that they used the word comrade, and you are correct in that Cheng is Chinese (Irving claims to be the descendent of Chairman Cheng from pre-war China), but the fact that his wife commented that she didn't like to call people comrade, but her husband said she had to. In 1984, if you were in the party (Ingsoc was the party name, for future reference) you HAD to refere to other members as comrade, and the protagonist(s) hated that they had to.Elko 21:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * As was the case in many communist countries. A lot of stuff in 1984 is simply based on communist practices. The only direct reference to 1984 is the "is watching you" part. Ausir 21:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Then gut the reference to 'comrade' and the keep the Big Brother reference. Could have simply commented me to begin with that it was too obscure a reference, as is a common problem on the Easter Eggs page, and asked I revise it to only include the direct link to 1984. I will go ahead and rewrite the entry, if you have no problem with it.Elko 21:50, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, go ahead. Sorry for removing all of it. Generally, that page needs a lot of cleanup. Ausir 21:54, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No argument there. Holler if you need help cleaning it up, I'd be glad to help. Thanks for hearing me out.Elko 22:01, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
