I don't want to be all 'wikipedia' but, Trivia sections are discouraged. Information that is in these 'Trivia' sections can easily be integrated into the main article. Or in the case of it being 'real world' info on an in-universe article it can be placed below and integrated into a behind the scenes section. --Tangerineduel 14:15, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

I've removed all the examples that I could find that were around. (I don't think you should be worried) However here are the history comparisons from a few: Elton Pope, Nursery ship and Xaranti. In the case of the Elton Pope article it was just a case of re-titling the trivia to behind the scenes and re-wording the information to be more formal. For the Nursery ship article the trivia section was removed as it used subjective phrases like "seems to be inspired by" (if the information had a source or something it could have been placed on the Partners in Crime article page (which relates to the whole episode rather than the in-universe article specific page). For the Xaranti article page the information was re-edited with the subjective/not relevant in an in-universe context information removed. --Tangerineduel 15:59, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
