Dealwiththe Devil is way,way to long.
this music plays whenever I post also a boxArranged Marriage looks like it could use a trim, or at least shuffling some of the text off to Analysis.Arranged Marriage where detailed discussions of how the trope works would probably work better. Not sure about what to trim off, though, hence posting about it here.
All your safe space are belong to TrumpFocus Group Ending does not seem to have an actual description at all.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanRe Arranged Marriage: I started by putting all the bullet points and all the paragraphs about the ways various cultures do marriage and why arranged marriages happen in Real Life on the Analysis tab.
Does anyone see any additional changes that need to be made?

Cat, looks good, but when removing that much text an edit reason pointing to where it's being put would be nice. Just FYI.
Something like "Moved to Analysis.Arranged Marriage" is fine, doesn't need to be complex or long-winded.

All your safe space are belong to TrumpI don't like Trailers Always Spoil. The description makes you think it happens all the time, that's misleading.
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.Well the name says the same thing.
Don't make me destroy you. @ Castle SeriesTropes with absolutes in the name (always, never, etc) have been a low-level issue on the wiki for as far as I can remember (which isn't, admittedly, all that far at times ). It some times seems like they're magnets for nattery Not A Subversion Justifying Edits.
All your safe space are belong to TrumpWorld's Smallest Violin: Description is 2/3s Example as a Thesis, and gets very deep into that. Last paragraph is where is starts talking about the trope.
PS. Is there a thread just for dealing with Example as a Thesis?

No such thread at the moment, now.
I have no idea what World's Smallest Violin is about. That needs serious fixing.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSend it to TRS? If so, any other reasons beyond the Example as a Thesis problem?

No reason to put it into TRS. It just needs the EAAT removed.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThat leaves the last 2 paragraphs. And you were not sure what it means.
Mainly because of the meandering EAAT.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanCut the whole EAAT part edit what's left?
@ 647 - I have no problem with changing Straw Feminist from 'whose "feminism"' to 'whose take on "feminist ideology".' That sounds more clear.
I'd like to bring up Declaration of Protection. It has a narrow and confusing split between eight different variations. I don't see any reason to have the split at all.
@660: Example as a Thesis has been zapped. Any other edits to the description to make it better?
Feminine Women Can Cook is in urgent need of a trim.
this music plays whenever I post also a boxI moved most of it to the Analysis page.
I agree about Feminine Women Can Cook. A lot of it looks like useful notes.
Edit: It does look better now.

It's recently come to my attention that the description for Sixth Ranger is confusing people about what the trope actually is. (It's when a new member joins an established team, not about any given personality type.)
In order to clear up this confusion, I think the description would have to be totally re-written. Can that be done with feedback from this thread, or do I need a TRS for something like that? (The definition of the trope wouldn't be changed, although the change would contradict what's an apparently commonly held misconception of what the trope is.)
I don't know the rules for that, that's probably something the mods would know or should decide. Personally I feel TRS discussions are taking a reaally long time. (Was it always this way? I've been a troper since summer and active in the forums let's say from winter so I wouldn't know.)
If you know what to do with it and if you're sure it's for the good of the trope, you should do it — at least I think. And I know you're maintaining the Five-Man Band, so you surely seem qualified. :-)
TRS discussions always take long, and I've been here since Nov 2011.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSo what to do with Holy Child? It sounds like a Living MacGuffin only more specific.
I find it rather distracting as well. I don't understand why it was written that way in the first place - the trope isn't even about court cases.
Naked People Are Funny is an Infodump of massive proportions. If you have to scroll down to read the whole description, it's too long.
