Any chance of a dinoasur comics mention?
- I don't think that's really appropriate here... it's certiankly noteworthy to mention this genus on the qwantz page, since Dromiceiomimus is very important to the topic of qwantz. qwantz, however, is not very important at all to the topic of Dromiceiomimus. (I'm a big qwantz fan, for the record... and that Dresden Codak guest comic was killer :D ) Dinoguy2 13:46, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Why not? Pop culture relevance sections are common practice here, at least where I've seen. Being bold and adding it: feel free to remove if there's a big to do, of course.--69.203.22.242 (talk) 05:36, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- I removed it, 69: it was only a single sentence, and it didn't really state why the depiction in the comic is so important to the genus Dromiceiomimus. An entire section dedicated to a single sentence seems like overkill. You can revert my edit, but I'd like to see either no section, or a whole paragraph dedicated to this, and why it's important: is it notable? Have various sources mentioned it? I'm open to including this, but let's make it notable. Firsfron of Ronchester 05:55, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- How about this: 'The fictional character Dromiceiomimus, named for her species, appears in almost every episode of the multi-award winning Dinosaur Comics.'

- Dinosaur Comics is a significant enough series to be mentioned; it's won awards and been printed. It's certainly got enough fans to expect traffic on this page reading about the species when
we're they're supposed to be working. The fact that no other pop culture references have been found yet is no reason to ignore this one.Lindsay40k (talk) 23:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- The Wikipedia style guide has clearcut rationale for including any pop culture references. How important is Dinosaur comics to the subject of Dromeiciomimus? What further information can people learn about Dromeiciomimus by being directed to Dinosaur Comics? If the only possible answer is "they can learn Dromeiciomimus is present in Dinosaur Comics", it is not noteworthy. If I'm missing somethnig important, please correct me.
- The relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Handling trivia, specifically the section on Connective trivia. Read this carefully. I would argue that the connection between Dromeiciomimus and Dinosaur Comics is the second type of connective trivia. It it relevant to the subject of Dinosaur Comics but not relevant to the topic of Dromeiciomimus.Dinoguy2 (talk) 04:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- I just came here from Dinosaur Comics whilst procrastinating from my stupid LFEU essay in case there was some relevant information (and also to find out the correct pronounciation of dromiceiomimus). I'd never heard of this dinosaur before...it's not a very "popular" one (like say Raptors or a T-Rex) outside of Dinosaur Comics, and so I think it would be sensible to include a reference to it on here.

- That logic is a little backwards isn't it? If this dinosaur is not well known, there should be a link to it on the Dinosaur Comics page. And there is. So, people reading about Dinosaur Comics who ask, "hat the heck is a Dromiceiomimus? How do I pronounce that?" can come to this page for more information. Job done ;) Dinoguy2 (talk) 05:11, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
