Something I have noticed is that other boards such as Space Battles consider this wiki a hug box, and I sort of agree with them.

Case in point; The Salvation War. I have read parts of this thing myself and it is horrible, yet the trope page has almost nothing but praise for it. Seems fans of the series have taken that area over and are removing any tropes which could be considered negative marks for it, and frankly, this needs to stop. I feel that something like this, where fanatical fans get to hog a page and remove and negativity, should not be tolerated. Any time they remove these tropes, they cite Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment vein applied, but removing accurate examples for something is counter productive.

Another issue is Literature/Victoria. This book is just bad, yet it has two subpages for tearjerker and heartwarming, both made by the same person. I feel this is misleading, as the book is so hard to take seriously that nothing warrants either of these subpages.

In conclusion, a cleanup is needed for both of these pages to make sure that people know exactly what they are getting into if they read either series and look it up here first. There are probably other pages as well which need a cleanup of fans removing anything which could be considered critical of their favorite work.

This wouldn't be a short term project by any means, and we already have a long term project thread for this.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
