I'm already on a project that involves me looking at every article... I'm going to note allusions where it applies as I do so. (I'll make sure to note in edit summaries so if I err or someone disagrees, it can be discussed) :) Sounds good. The place where it gets trickest is with things like Emma alluding to The Ugly Duckling (with last name and how she didn't fit in until she came to Storybrooke and fufilled her saviour role), and with Rochiante, Regina's horse, being named the same thing as Don Quotixe's horse, but sharing none of the characteristics. Do things like these deserve top of article treatment, or should they stay in trivia? Also, glad your going through every article and looking for this, because I noticed recently while the characters pages are pretty good with noting where they originated, the items are not. I'm pretty sure I was on the Silver Shoes page and no note was made that the shoes are from the story The Wizard of Oz, for example. Lastly (for now at least XD), what do you think about noteing things on the species pages? Like on the fairies page, something like "Fairies are commonly found in fantasy literature dating back to [year]." Something like that. This would apply to the majority of the species on the show, including: Fairies, Dwaves, Ogres, Dragons, Genies, Mermaids, Giants, Unicorns, Werewolves, and Wraiths.
