Pop cultural references, continuity notes and other details
Please do not add mention of pop cultural references, continuity notes, trivia, or who the targets of a given episode's parody are, without accompanying such material with an inline citations of reliable, published, secondary sources. Adding this material without such sources violates Misplaced Pages's policies regarding Verifiability, No Original Research, and Synthesis.
While a primary source (such as the episode itself, or a screencap or clip from it at South Park Studios) is acceptable for material that is merely descriptive, such as the synopsis, it is not enough to cite a primary source for material that constitutes an analytic, evaluative or interpretative claims, such as cultural references in works of satire or parody, because in such cases, such claims are being made on the part of the editor. This is called synthesis, which is a form of original research, and is strictly forbidden on Misplaced Pages, regardless of whether one thinks the meaning of the reference is "obvious". Sources for such claims must be secondary sources in which reliable persons, such as TV critics or reviewers, explicitly mention the reference. Some examples of reliable sources for this type of material are seen here.
In addition, trivial information that is not salient or relevant enough to be incorporated into the major sections of an article should not be included, per WP:PLOTSUMMARIZE and WP:TRIVIA, and this includes the plot summary. As indicated by WP:TVPLOT, the plot summary is an overview of a work's main events, so avoid any minutiae that is not needed for a reader's understanding of the story's three fundamental elements: plot, characterization and theme. This includes such minutiae as scene-by-scene breakdowns, technical information or detailed explanations of individual gags or lines of dialogue.

Hi guys, concerning the above, I understand the point, I just feel the south park wikipedia pages have become pointless. Before, there was all kind of explanations that were quite useful and funny. Most of all to people like me that don't live in the US and then can't understand references to local happenings. Now the Misplaced Pages pages are just a resume of the episode that we saw, pretty useless.88.114.195.72 (talk) 05:46, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
- Exactly. I don't like in the US either and I don't understand some of the jokes. I used to come to Wiki to read the connections to current US issues and pop culture. Massive ****s like Nightscream ruin it, and I feel awful saying that out loud because, as with most people like him/her, he/she probably gets off on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.128.253 (talk) 12:41, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
