Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

5846, 5847: Cutlisted the page and moved its contents to a Tech Wishlist thread.

5848: I'm inclined to agree with Septimus on the PRLC edit. I dunno about the latter one, it's not showing up in the edit history. Then again, I generally dislike having descriptions on subpages, especially YMMV pages, so I don't see it as a big loss.

5850: Done.

Zetta Toad needs to be moved to Tropers.Zetta Toad

In Adolf Hitler, the pothole to Refuge in Audacity needs to be removed, as that trope is now In Universe Examples Only (per this TRS thread). (The Example Indentation for that entry, Fallen Angel, could use a bit of tweaking, too, while you're there.)

I'd like to suggest a few change for the Inheritance Cycle main page:

• remove the Downer Ending entry (there is already one classifying the same ending as Bittersweet, and the two seem to contradict each others);
• Develope the Idiot Hero entry by explaining exactly what makes Eragon an Idiot Hero (I personnally thought he was of average intelligence)
• Remove the General Ripper entry (I feel like the definition doesn't fit for Nasuada, the character described, or at least not from an Objective point of view);
• simplify or modify the Aloof Big Brother entry so its description would better fit the trope instead of digressing.

Although the mods can do the actual editing for you, you need to write up the two entries you want changed as if you were editing the page, because the mods might not be familiar with the game.

• Idiot Hero: Eragon, because blah blah blah.
• Aloof Big Brother: Murtagh is one to Eragon because blah blah blah.

Yeah, all of those need to be written up as they need to go on the page...I've never read those books so I have no idea how to expand on those entries. Also, just from the writeups, I'd be more inclined to cut Bittersweet Ending.

5852, 5853: Done.

Please add Guardians Of The Galaxy to Brian Michael Bendis's works list. Thank you in advance.

Done.

Or remove it. The actor is not relevant.

So has the cleanup thread decided to remove the entry entirely?

I did the first with some potholing, but I don't really see a need for the second...that entire line bugs me but I dunno of a way to rewrite it right now.

No, I mean that the entry should not mention the actor. Does it have to be discussed in the cleanup thread first?

Please add Literature/ to Main.The Dead Zone on The Fundamentalist.

@Willbyr: Okay. Just add a pothole for the Xbox One.

Can someone add to the Final Fantasy VII page that its been rereleased on Steam with achievements and such?

I have a few rewrites for the Anime & Manga section:

• Sadist Teacher Sidou of Highschool Of The Dead first shows he's a man to fear when, during a zombie attack, when a student he's guiding twists his ankle and begs Sidou for help. Sidou's response was to kick him in the face, and gloating over the poor kid's impending death and his own survival by telling that the new world had no place for people that weak. Then he uses his position as a teacher to get himself elected leader of the surviving group. Sidou sets out to make himself a cult leader, promoting sexual activity amongst the kids to make them loyal to Sidou. When a student doesn't like the action going on in the "orgybus" and asks if he can just be dropped off at his house to see if his family is ok. Sidou and his group, who are at this point a cult, decide that the best way to grant his wish is to throw him out of the bus and let him get eaten. In a Zombie Apocalypse, Shidou stands out as more evil and vile than any walking corpse.
• Medusa from Soul Eater turned the show from a funny, off-kilter shonen series into an almost-Cosmic Horror Story. Her list of evil-doings is long and continues to grow. She's a witch who has used her own child, Crona, as a horrible science experiment, driving them to complete madness and not showing an ounce of love, much less regret. When Crona is finally shown, for the first time in their life, true kindness from Maka, they do a Heel–Face Turn. At this time, Medusa is also trying to revive the Kishin using two witches, Eruka and Mizune, that she blackmailed into helping her—she can off them with a snap of her fingers. When she's defeated by Stein, she escapes in the form of a snake and takes over the body of a little girl. She uses this form to her advantage, knowing damn well the protagonists won't kill her if it means killing the child. She gets Crona in Shibusen to act as The Mole and drive Stein to (greater) madness. When her sister Arachne is revived, Medusa goes to Shibusen to ask for their aid in defeating her—she's given Shibusen's best students to help with the job. At this point, Crona's been captured and Medusa tells Maka it was Arachne who took her. When Maka defeats Arachne, Medusa takes over her sister's body and tells Maka she lied: she was the one who captured Crona. As of recent chapters, we see Medusa has driven Crona to insanity and broken him/her again to use against Shibusen and anyone else who stands in her way, all just as an experiment. She then gives Crona the first hug she/he ever got from her, driving her completely mad and killing her, all part of her sick plan.
• The appropriately named Vicious of Cowboy Bebop. The reasonable response to your best friend seeing your girlfriend is not to sadistically force her to decide between her own death and having to kill her lover herself. Vicious has loyalty to nobody and thinks nothing of betraying former comrades to death or prison...he doesn't even register when men loyal to him give their lives as they're expendable to him. He also has no qualms about betraying anyone, whether he's usurping power from his leaders or cutting the throat of the foster father who saved his life.
• With Violinist Of Hameln being a dramedy, most of the mazoku are regularly played for laughs. There are two exceptions, though:
• In Sukeban Deka Reimi qualifies for this status when she and her family orchestrate the deaths of over sixty of the sisters' classmates to make room for the kids of possible financial benefactors for the father, Gozo's, political career. Reimi is quite good at putting on the façade of being the White Sheep, which she uses this to her advantage when she decides to brainwash her students for her personal army. She then gives Ayumi a rigged shotgun, steals all her money, has one of her brainwashed lackeys kill Emi and Gozo, and then laughs about "her poor sisters. During her rooftop battle with Saki, Reimi drops the princess facade and reveals her true Ax-Crazy tendencies as she savages Saki with a whip while screaming at her about her supposedly insane mother.
• Yonemi Kamon from Battle Royale is the administrator of the Battle Royale Program, where high school students are forced to kill one another. His hobbies are watching students kill each other, killing students and joking about said students' deaths. After taking a schoolbus full of students including Shuuya and Yoshio to be transported into the Program, he later tells he also went and raped an orphanage director Shuuya and Yoshio had grown close to (just in case you didn't already get he's evil). What makes Yonemi so noteworthy as a villain is that unlike the movie portrayal of the Director, he doesn't even pretend to buy into the crap about maintaining order or protecting the honour of the Empire. He enjoys raping and killing, and he's a huge fan of the Program because he gets to see teenagers deal with gut-wrenching emotions before dying horribly. He's so heinous, even soldiers are visibly nervous around him.

5863: There are a lot of those entries that feature the actors...I don't see a reason to cull that one specifically.

5864, 5865: Done.

5866: Please write up exactly what you want to see on the page.

I'll get to that later, food beckons.

On Big Bra to Fill, the entry on Cutey Honey should be changed to:

• Averted in live versions of Cutey Honey, where Honey is usually played by professional models (Eriko Sato◊ in The Movie and Mikie Hara (center)◊ in THE LIVE).

On the Wikipedia page, "LumperVsSplitter" should have the Administrivia/ namespace added. The whole line is also badly alphabetized, and should be below Locked Pages.

edited 5th Jul '13 5:06:27 PM by StFan

Just to clarify something for the request I posted. Can you replace both Sidou examples?

On Monster.Harry Potter, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire needs a Film/ namespace.

ETA: And replace the HarryPotter// namespace with Literature/ for Main.Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows on the Brown Eyes page.

For Dm C Devil May Cry

• Breather Boss: Arguably most bosses except the final one, Vergil, are this. Certain regular enemies pose a better challenge than the bosses.
• Cutscene Incompetence: When fighing Lilith and her child Dante can shoot her and impale her resulting in some damage. In a following cutscene Vergil kills her in two shots using a common fireweapon.
• Game-Breaker: Using Devil Trigger and Demon Evade, Sucubbus can be defeated in 3 hits. Using Demon Evade, Devil Trigger and Overdrive results in the most anticlimatic boss fights. Even Mundus can be defeated in 11 hits.
• Moral Dissonance: Was killing Mundus' child and woman good in the end? Dante is never angry at Vergil for his actions and even uses it to enrage Mundus.
  • Phineas is supposed to be a good natured demon but he is the one who suggest killing Mundus' child.
• Moral Event Horizon: Half of the stuff Vergil does including Not caring about Kat's safety, shooting Lilith and her child when she was completely defenseless, his plans after Mundus' death and his "revenge" in the DLC chapter.
  • Dante also gets really close to the line to some when he mocks Mundus for his child's death. He does it to get him far from the Hell's Gate but several people reacted with a What the Hell, Hero? and care for Mundus.
• Narm: Some of the game's jokes are hard to laugh at such as Kat talking about squirrel's semen.
  • While Sparda's fate is supposed to give the players horror, nobody can get over the fact that he was nearly naked in his only shot and that he looked close to a sadomasochist.
  • Dante and Succubus' trashtalk is close to being Narm Charm thanks to the Memetic Mutation.
  • The voice acting becomes laughable with the lack of emphasis when characters make insults. Dante's voice acting is often hard to understand which resulted in comparisons with a participant from Gordon Ramsay's show.
  • Vergil's car is quite funny looking and even has a V. It has been nicknamed as the "Vergil Mobile."
  • When Mundus unleashes his rage over Dante he simply pushes him with his hands. It almost looks like he is trying to hug him.
  • In the DLC Vergil's screams of pain during gameplay can result in good laughs.

Most of that needs some work on spelling, grammar, and word use (for instance, they're called 'firearms', not 'fireweapons'). I'd take it through the 'Get help with English here' thread, if I were you.
