I second closing the topic.

I would agree with the first idea, but with the second I need some quoteblocking.

I was suggesting replacing the one bullet point (quoted in my third quoteblock) with the two bullet points at the bottom. Imagine a quoteblock around those two bullet points if it helps. (Everything I was discussing there is bulleted on the page.)
A shorter version of your proposed changes is fine for me.

I'm mostly concerned about the first one (about Whole-Plot Reference). If you're not comfortable with the second, I'm willing to let it slide. It's much less important.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
Beside the issue in the last few posts, I still see this:
- Anyone can post an example, even if it's crazy (saying that Gone With The W Ind is Avatar, in (a difference). Sounds like Avatar was released first, but it isn't
- Think there needs to be some sort of Word of God for each example. Most of these are just Wild Mass Guessing
- Move/split examples to Fridge Logic or Wild Mass Guessing?
- Is it duplicate to several tropes?

About #1 and #2: We do many tropes without citations, even if they rely on authorial intent. And nobody has shown a problem there anyway.
About #3: Why?
About #4: Already thumbed-down. Also, if you have to say "Is it duplicate to several tropes?" then there is a good chance you are wrong.

You could argue that "Eragon was better when it was called Star Wars" but since nothing ever advertises the similarities, it doesn't count as this."

Last call for objections to my first change proposed in post 51, which is unopposed so far.
(I'll leave out the other change, since it seems both more controversial and less necessary.)

Ok, I made that first change, and didn't bother with the second. As far as I'm concerned, there's no other issues that really need repair shop attention. Cleanup, assuming any is needed, is something that can always be done at any time. Unless someone else has an issue, I move to close the thread.

Agree on this motion.

Seems there's no further issue here (assuming there was one to begin with).
Agree with closing.
Why do you think there's no issue left?
See @58 and @59.

Closing this, then.

Ok, first this:

I also suggest splitting the following into two separate points:
There's two different issues there:
