Trivia section
I said in an edit summary that the trivia section was getting out of hand and removed the random collection of references found there. They are back, with the edit summary Says you; most pop culture pages list and all their examples until they warrant their own article. Please read WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. A bullet point list of random references can never warrant a wikipedia article. Also, the section as it now stands does not comply with basic style guidelines which mandate that we write our articles as coherent text. Stefán 17:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Is that so? What would you say to this page, that came as a product of this very same argument over another figure from myth? Furthermore, of course this isn't indiscriminate; just because you were never aware of all these references doesn't mean they're suddenly "random". By half-assing the section with some sentance that says, 'there's stuff in animé and comics, 'n junk', you're cheating others out of knowing just how the name is used, and purhaps, why. Virtually all the pop culture sections in wiki do this so nobody is left in the dark - something an encyclopedia should never do. -Biokinetica 19:42, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I'm sure we can agree on something. We have the article Norse mythology in popular culture, how about we keep all the general references there and only have those here that single out Jörmungandr? Stefán 21:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think I've solved your problem with the creation of Jörmungandr in popular culture. Most subjects relating to Norse lore have led to the creation of such a page. :bloodofox: 00:18, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Although I think I can live with that page, I'm not sure if there are enough references to warrant a seperate one (refer to Lilith's pop culture page). But a lot of them are missing, so i'll find and add those. -Biokinetica 05:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- The reason these pages are created in the first place is because these references are constantly added to such articles. They constantly multiply. This seems to be the best way to deal with such references. :bloodofox: 05:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
