A hell of a lot of blueshifts in Summary.Comics are just copied wholesale from Wikipedia. What do I do with those?

Don't we have a "medium" choice for (Video) Games? I'm trying to post one in Remember That Show, but it was mysteriously left off of the list (as well as here[!!!]). Any help?

I may be overreacting here, but just in case:
You might wanna keep an eye out for Random Chaos.
He's been more or less paying no heed to any conventional rules of grammar and spelling (seriously, a sizeable portion of his recent history looks like it was typed while drunk) and leaving the rest of us to correct for his mistakes, (mistakes your average elementary student catches onto quite easily, mind you) that is, the ones that don't render his contributions nigh-incomprehensible.
Again, there's a good chance I'm blowing this out of proportion. But it can't hurt, can it?

The Young Justice page has a bit of an edit war going on about whether or not to add examples for episodes of a series that have not aired yet, even though a preview of the episode (which the examples are supposedly coming from, I have not verified) is up on the Cartoon Network website.

On Five Man Band Video Games O-S a user by the name of Troper Almighty keeps up an edit war reguarding the Sonic The Hedgehog entry. He keeps shoehorning the character Shadow, who leads a completley seperate team, into the line up as The Lancer. Myself and others have given reasons as to why he doesn't fit into Sonic's group several times, but he Troper Almighty just refuses to accept this and keeps on edit warring. On his previous edit, he just deleted the Sonic entry. Is there anything a mod can do?

How do you get the "Moments" icons to appear at the top of the page? I just created a "Moment of Awesome" subpage for That '70s Show and there is already a "Moment of Funny" subpage but neither appear at the top of the main page.

Would I be allowed to make these changes to Locked Pages?
- John Cena: Being one of the most polarizing individuals in Professional Wrestling makes this too big a target for Edit Wars.
- "Stop Having Fun" Guys: Examples lock out.

What's the suitable place to report an edit war? We're having issues with the listing of Obvious Beta on the Super Robot Wars Judgment page, and it's clear that only moderator intervention is going to convince Master Don at this point, since he hasn't bothered to respond to me on the discussion page at all before putting it back on.

maybe I missed this, but how do I make a new page of something that has the same title as another page but is unrelated. Specifically I wanted to make a page for the Korean series Full House, but the link of course leads to the American sitcom. Trying to create something like Full House (Korean Drama) resulted in wikicode. What am i doing wrong?
