Title[]

I added the trivia that this mission is a reference to the System of a Down song, "ChopSuey," which was subsequently edited to change the wording, then edited again to remove the trivia entirely, replacing it with another trivia. Normally, it would be ambiguous whether or not it refers to the song or the food dish, but given that several other mission titles in the mission flow are also references to popular songs, I thought it would be pretty obvious that it was a reference to the song. It's even mentioned on the Mission Flow page that this mission's title is a reference to the song. Niphanos (talk) 07:13, April 7, 2014 (UTC)

There are several reasons that happened that are kinda hard to explain... Trivia must be a known fact so an editor came along and helped by taking the "likely" wording out. The Trivia policy states that "All trivia will reference the "original" source of tribute" and "All trivia must be linked to a source if it is not... in the game itself".

This gets complicated because the song "ChopSuey" is itself a reference to the Chinese cuisine even though the mission is a reference to the song (according to the DLC theme). The bottom line is that on this particular page, the song can be reverted for not only not having a link but also for not being the original trivia source of the title of the page.

The mission flow page can reference the song trivia because it is including all the mission data on that page.

I personally think that this page is fine with the trivia referencing both the original trivia source and the known reference to the song (it needs a link ASAP) but the policy can be followed by any editor. Final signature 09:27, April 7, 2014 (UTC)

Alright, that's reasonable. I apologise for not adding a link; the only thing I could think of when I made the trivia would be linking a YouTube video, and I knew that wasn't right. I'm still pretty new to this. Thanks for fixing it. Niphanos (talk) 21:05, April 7, 2014 (UTC)
