I know. But he can't show I have systematically done so (that would suggest I care way more about the subject than I really do).
In an ideal world articles such as [[Nuclear weapons in popular culture]] would be the way to go however if I'm looking to reduce article size cuting and pasteing the section to the talk page is a short term solution.
There are of course other issues with the trivia section. For example [[Checkerboard Nightmare]] does not currently include the one resason I've herd of the comic, the Kestrel/something posertive incerdent. Does this deserve a mention in the article? I don't know that is why I left a comment on the talk page but I could just have easy added it to a trivia section. As a result over time these sections tend to pick up a lot of stuff that doesn't really matter. The important stuff gets incoperated into the article and the rest gets left to rot.
Still it appears people object to the removal of these sections so I wont. I do however reserve the right to argue that the GWB article does not need a trivia section.
