Shares a title with a work: MIB

Bumping. Still in need of wick-moving.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

I starting doing a few wicks, and then realized that adding "The" is completly ruining the parsing of many of the sentences.

There are also cases where this seems to be used to refer to any secret group, rather then a group dedicated to covering up secrets. It is impossible to tell if something is correct use without knowing the work.

Pull to discussion if you can't say. There's not much else you can do.

We are going to need several people working on this. I'm already working on and off on He Got Better (to say nothing of I Got Better), and Painting the Medium also need work.

I'm starting to think we should just put a one-time ban on ALL new TRS threads until all of the current TRS threads are resolves and all the wick migration special effort for implementing renames are finished.

Use a pothole to get rid of "the".

Rhymes with "Protracted."

@Lu The problem is that more often then not this is a pothole or something used within a listing of an example for another trope. It isn't

• MIB: The Agency

It is things like:

Trope X: Bobby after being arrested by the The Agency

or

• In Show X this trope is use by the MIB in order to... etc.

So unless I want to delete an example other trope in the name of cleaning up MIB I really don't know to best approach it.

Also, potholing to create Men In Black just creates confusion with Men In Black

Anyway, I have this down to 766, but the name is attracting misuse for anyone sporting the look, and any secret organization, not just organizations dedicated to maintaining masquerades. And its very hard to tell which is which.

Some is obvious, though, like the contestant on some model contest show that was labled as an MIB, presumably because of his suit.

Cleanup is down to 700 wicks.

Could we get some more people working on this please?

I know you need help, but we're in the middle of a really nasty crisis, so there's not many hands available.

Down to 650 wicks. Please pitch in, even if only for a handful of wicks.

EDIT: OK, fixed now.

Down to <580 links. Let's never name another trope after an acronym, 'kay?

Now at an even 500.

Edit: Make that 400.

Down to 315 wicks. Please pitch in and help with at least a few.

You don't edit archives. Not for renames, not for namespaces. Not for anything.

Down to 225 wicks. I'm going to be drugged up after surgery this weekend, and don't want to be doing any editing while possibly in less than full mental capacity, so could someone else do some work on it over the next three days or so?

I'll do my best.

All wicks moved. Feel free to lock 'er up.
