Over-linking

Every instance of a character’s name does not need a link. Linking the first mention of the name or place is sufficient. Drhaggis 16:15, 14 Sep 2004 (MST)

Yes, I agree. This needs to be clear from the start. I think there's something about it in the Help section. -- Tom 16:30, 14 Sep 2004 (MST)


First Shirt?

Over-sensitive referencing?

Is the "fourteenth song" really an explicit reference to a particular performance by a particular band? Doesn't every band introduce their songs that way upon ocassion? - ehsteveistaken

I deleted it at one point because I felt that it wasn't a reference, but hey, it's back now. Bye bye... - pacdude


"funny pronunciation", eh? Hah! Those funny Germans. They're so funny! And rubbish! God bless America. --195.92.67.75

Baal

Given the game is on a floppy and the propensity of TBC for vintage games Baal is more likely a ref to the 1989 Dos/Amiga/Commodore 64 game. See Floppy Disk Container for details. - Dr Haggis - Talk 17:39, 11 Feb 2005 (MST)
