Articles that need...

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 citation of a reliable, published, secondary source. Adding such material without such sources violates Wikipedia's policies pertaining to 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 analytic, evaluative or interpretative claims, such as cultural references in works of satire or parody, because in such cases, such claims are being made by the editor. This is called synthesis, which is a form of original research, and is not permitted on Wikipedia, 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.

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.

Regarding similarity to "Freedom Isn't Free" (Song written by Trey Parker for Team America: World Police)[edit]

The similarity is striking to both the song by Trey Parker who presumably simply made a joke with the idiom (which isn't currently being mentioned in the Team America article linked), and while this could be considered related to both or only one it would almost be a too striking similarity for it to go unmentioned. Not sure what the policy is around these parts (read some but didn't find an answer) so thought I might as well ask. Not bold enough for this, besides mostly curious about the policy but now I might as well change it if it is considered good content since I've gotten myself involved. Erik.Bjareholt (talk) 08:09, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Erik.Bjareholt, the policy basically is this - unless you can provide a reliable source that proves with certainty that the similarity was purposefully intended, you can't just assume there is an association. Coming to that type of conclusion on your own is a perfect example of synthesis and original research. Otherwise, making such a statement based solely on your own conclusion is not permitted. See the top statements for more info. - SanAnMan (talk) 13:30, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
