Talk:Where My Country Gone?

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.

Name of Charlotte's dad

After he says "it's bad enough we have to live in America, now all the boys with maple fever are going to want to have at our daughter" Charlotte's mom says "that's enough ____" and refers to him by name.

I heard "Thomas" but the closed captions say "Donald" (sounded nothing like this) so I made a note of both. Possibly a last-minute script change that CC guys didn't get ahold of? What takes precedence when naming him? 64.228.91.102 (talk) 17:57, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

The character's name is not important enough to the plot to specify. Best to just use the generic term, as originally written. See WP:TRIVIA and WP:PLOTSUMMARIZE. - SanAnMan (talk) 18:03, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Cosby reference

This brought back the reference to a "hot Cosby" I think first used in the preceding episode Stunning and Brave. I am not sure if it kept the same meaning though. In SAB the teachers warn kids not to refer to rape as this, but its use here in WMCG when Cartman is talking to Butters sounds more like a rushed one-night stand that could lead to remorse decades later. It seems like in these 2 episodes that the SP writers are having teachers describe it the anti-Cosby way and having students use it the pro-Cosby way.

Later it also introduces a new term, "Slow Cosby". After Butters first mentions it, Charlotte says Canadians call it love. Her dad later says to her mom "it seems they're actually falling in slow Cosby" affirming it actually is Canadian slang in the South Park universe and not something Charlotte was paraphrasing in response to something Butters invented.

How many episodes would this joke have to recur before it is worth mentioning on these episode articles? 64.228.91.102 (talk) 18:04, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
