Despair Speech needs more context in its examples.

Soul Chess and Soul Chess need YMMV items moved off.

Added a bit more context to the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei example on Despair Speech.

I started working on cleaning up MrFanservice.Live Action TV, a page I've been aware needed cleaing for a long time, and I got about halfway through and I already can't take it anymore. It is full of misuse held over from the trope's old name and definition, and is basically full of girls swooning over guys they think are hot. Many entries read like they were typed one-handed, if you know what I mean. It gets quite gross after a while. It's also full of natter, thread mode, and self-insertion.

Wow, that's pretty terrible. Not just the Live Action TV section, but it seems like a lot of the subpages really need cleanup.

Could use some backup on Soapbox Sadie. More issues with Natter, Example Indentation, and general de-crufting beyond what I fixed a few moments ago.

Cutting Off the Branches should be sorted and folderized by someone who knows games. Almost all of the examples are from video games and I play pool.

Music Is Politics needs example sorting, some natter cuts and context in examples.

WWE - Rock 'N Wrestling Era and WWE Tag Teams need huge YMMV cleanup, and I am still recovering from the 640+ Your Milage May Vary wick cleanup.

The Slender Man Mythos needs YMMV cleanup as well.

As in deleting all YMMV tropes?

[up]No, moving them over to the YMMV tab. But YMMV potholes can simply be deleted.

Even if they are character tropes and not general tropes?

Yes, all YMMV goes to the YMMV page.

These were all made by a persistent ban evader who likes unilaterally reverting stuff. Need a cleanup.

[up] I'm starting from the bottom of the list

Edit: checked examples up to the 14th. I'm not sure about the examples added to Film.The Roommate, Laura, All About Eve, Millers Crossing and Atlas Shrugged.

[up] & [up][up]

Checked the rest of the edits that weren't checked by the others. I think all those iffy pages are okay now (I edited Millers Crossing and Atlas Shrugged afterward). What about The Thing That Would Not Leave? It's a bombastic bit of meta-prose from a Real Life example of "the thing".

Also, the Ayn Rand page might need to be locked or something (I'm currently just watchlisting it), the guy is obsessed with defending her honor.

Innocent Woodland Elf has been banned. He has a history of coming back with a different handle, though. — Btw, I moved the Ayn Rand to the Creator/ namespace.

Let's just say and leave it at that.

Read its examples. Gods, that's just gushing about sexy fairies. I requested a P5 evaluation of that page.

P5 Guy here. Just give the page a clean up, and everything should be just fine. It's a legit trope, but it needn't come across as being so unnecessarily lewd.

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.
