When is an Egg an Easter Egg?

<.< actually.. my making this bring up a problem I've often had, when is a reference to something outside the game an easter egg? and when is it just a reference? o.o does the reddwarf and shakespear ones count? I'm not really sure ^^;;--Sleepy Kitty 11:01, 2 October 2006 (PDT)

Personally, I wouldn't count references as easter eggs. I do think they need to be listed someplace, but easter eggs are hidden items. References are out in the open. They may be obscure (I believe nobody has yet come up with the book chapter references for issues 5-8), but they're there for everyone to see. I would count even the lengthy Baxter Building to Fantastic Four chain as reference, rather than easter egg.
I'm finding it hard to come up with a good article title for references, though. Maybe Game Connections (to steal from the IMDb's "Movie Connections" idea) or Trivia References? User:StarGeek/sig 12:24, 2 October 2006 (PDT)
