[edit] Diary of the Dead part of Romero's Dead series?

This isn't part of the 'dead' series —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.132.222.83 (talk • contribs) 15:29, September 3, 2006 (UTC).

You are correct. This is a seperate project from Romero's dead series. I will make the changes on the article, but I'm not sure how to edit the 'Living Dead series' table at the bottom of the page. Hotdoglives 17:40, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

From what I understand, it is a part of the film series. In the lengthy audio interview, linked in the article, he's taking the story back to when it all began, though making it contemporary as the sequels are. This implies that it's still operating within the world he created with Night of the Living Dead. Can anyone point to where he's said that it's unrelated to the original four films? Otherwise it needs to be addressed.--Bacteria 06:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Strangely enough, as I am the one who tried to make our current info consistent, I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't be a part of Romero's Dead series. However, since two people seemed to disagree, and I didn't want to start a revert war, I left the info here as originally changed by Hotdoglives. I agree this needs to be adressed. --Azertus 10:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

All is cleared up, with references (mind, they were already in the article, I converted them to refs), now... --Azertus 13:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand how it can be a part of the same series if it's supposed to take place at the time of the original film but it's set in contemporary times. Jon Hart 00:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
