Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

Please add the following to Monster.Video Games And Visual Novels:

• Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon: King Boo sheds any redeeming qualities from the previous game and becomes an unfettered monster. After his first defeat by Luigi, King Boo is consumed by his lust for revenge against Luigi, and shatters the Dark Moon, enslaving the minds of the once-docile ghosts of Evershade Valley to his control. Unleashing them on the valley, King Boo abducts Mario himself and several Toads and imprisons them within paintings. Uncaring about his minions, King Boo performs experiments on his ghosts against their will to amplify their destructive potential, and calmly allows his own Boos to be caught and sealed by Luigi in a stark contrast to his characterization in the last game. After Luigi gets close to restoring the Dark Moon, King Boo starts to lose it, and tears open a portal to the ghosts' homeworld with the intent to destroy the universe as an act of spite. Once he's foiled, King Boo warps Luigi to his own dimension, announcing his intent to trap Luigi and all his friends in paintings as he conquers the world and "paints the town red." Shockingly dark for a series that is usually lighthearted, King Boo devolved into an uncaring sociopath who would willingly kill everyone just for a chance to get back at his rival.

Despite having been NRLEP'd a long time ago by admin decision, Language Equals Thought has yet to be included into No Real Life Examples, Please!. It having been NRLEP's by fiat means that it doesn't have to go through the maintenance thread, right? (Otherwise, in the event it's voted no, a paradox would occur)

135 - 169 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300

On Fan Works, please remove the Imperfect Metamorphosis example.

• 10521: We actually discussed it; most of his deeds are in the comics. Though if it is there, please double indent it and add it before Melakon.

---

Please add King Boo (from here) to Video Games And Visual Novels, but here's also a few minor cleanups for that:

• Please have a space between Resistance and 3.
• Please change the first sentence of Alexis Ashford's entry thus:
  • The Darkside Chronicles: Alexis Ashford no longer had love for her brother as a part of her personality, the way it was in Code Veronica, and her evil is cranked up a few notches higher.

---

Now, also from here:

• Gilles de Rais goes to Anime And Manga I To R.
• President Snow rewrite goes to Literature A To L.

---

• Please change the namespace for Ginga Densetsu Weed at Anime And Manga A To H from Manga/ to Anime/
• Please replace The Rescuers Down Under example at Disney with the one at here (might as well also get rid of Frollo's name for the image).
• Finally, at Live-Action TV, please join The Master in Angelus's entry and use this caption for the image: Angelus, "the most vicious creature (The Master) ever met."

Please add the following to No Real Life Examples, Please!:

• Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster! under the "Flamebait, Complaining, and Natter" folder
• Captain Obvious under the "Too Common In Real Life To Trope " folder.

Magnet Missile: Did most of your edits, save for the Vampires Are Sex Gods one (did we agree that "vampires" as defined by that trope don't exist in Real Life?) and the Rich Bitch one (it doesn't look like a morality trope).

Morgenthaler: Language Equals Thought's NRLEP status is questionable; I'd like to see it run through the thread.

Did everything until @10528.

Under Fallen Creator:

• The Wachowskis are probably at that point now after Jupiter Ascending. I think their section in general needs updating, the hard-R gay love story appears to have come to nothing.

• Also, Phil Fish. He was declared a pioneer after Fez came out & was showcased Indie Game:The Movie, but after his behavior on Twitter (in particular, his argument with Marcus Beer'0 left a lot of people cold, quit the game industry & put his company & the rights to Fez he has become more a figure of mockery than anything else.

If you want to suggest that they be added, please write entries for them as they should appear on the page.

Could World War Z be added to the 'Hollywood Tactics' Film section?

During the Battle of Yonkers, the US Military makes almost every mistake on the book; they are poorly equipped, with insufficient ammo for the job they've been sent in to accomplish; they fail to secure their drop zone properly; they fail to watch their own flanks, and they seem to only deploy infantry against a threat that is only dangerous to unguarded infantry. The entire thing was just ridiculous.

EDIT: Much of this was already covered in the Lit section. Sorry. I don't suppose it's possible to point people to the lit section to make mistakes like this less likely to happen?

@10529: I think I'll leave that first comment to someone else; these cross-medium examples are giving me problems. I did not change the namespace; that is acceptable usage of namespaces (pointing at medium redirects). I am not sure about the caption formatting, but I got everything else.

@10530: Added.

@10532: Yep, that needs the help of an editorial pen before it can be added.

@10534: An in-page pointer? No, these create more problems than they solve. Also, for future reference you need to link the page you want to be edited.

Fair enough. Two things though:

• Please get rid of Frollo's name for the Disney caption (and change the pothole to Tempting Fate).
• For Alexis (Resident Evil), please copy and paste:
  • The Darkside Chronicles: Alexis Ashford no longer had love for her brother as a part of her personality, the way it was in Code Veronica, and her evil is cranked up a few notches higher. A Child Prodigy who joined the Umbrella Corporation at the age of twelve, Alexia was also an entitled sadist with a serious god complex. She aided her brother in murdering and experimenting on their father, tortured a classmate to death (and recorded the session) for being almost as smart as she was, and eventually injected herself with the T-Veronica virus, which she planned to use to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. Reawakened from cryogenic sleep in her twenties, Alexia kills her brother for not waking her up on time, transforms Claire Redfield's Love Interest, Steve Burnside, into a monster and forces him to fight her to the death, and tries repeatedly to kill Chris and Claire for no other reason then their presence at her facility. She reveals that her plan is to infect the world with the T-Veronica virus, enslaving most of humanity to her will. When asked why, Alexia just gloats about how, as a superior specimen of humanity, she deserves to be Queen.

I've shredded the following fragment off Website.AlternateHistoryDotCom article, since I remember Darth Wiki is declared not to be linked to in the main wiki space. In an unlikely case that the writeup cited adheres to Fallen Creator standards, please add it there (in Literature folder). If it doesn't, sorry for wasting your time.

• Fallen Creator:
  • The board has grown tired and irritated of most of Harry Turtledove's newer AH novels.
  • S. M. Stirling was once a member of the board, but revealed himself to be quite a jerk and got banned for it. Opinion of him has mostly lowered throughout the board since then (in addition to most people being critical of some of his AH works to begin with).

Those are correct deletions. Fallen Creator is not for individual boards; it applies to the general space of public opinion.

Did the Resident Evil edit, the Disney one needs somewhat clearer instructions regarding the pothole.

Please make the following additions to No Real Life Examples, Please!

Impossible in RL:
* GenreSavvy

Narrative trope:
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum
* JokerImmunity
* LostForever
* ThrowAwayCountry

Too common to trope:
* SpellMyNameWithAnS

As for Rich Bitch, the morality folder has the various Jerkass entries, as well as the other "Bitch" tropes that have been ruled NRLEP.

So whatever folder the entries do go in (I think that complaining/natter/flamebait works better), they should at least be standardized into the same folder.

All your safe space are belong to Trump

Please also add Amnesia Danger under the Narrative tropes folder.

On Monster.Literature A To L, please namespace JosefStalin, who appears twice on the page (in the entries for Animal Farm and Patriot Games) to UsefulNotes/.

All your safe space are belong to Trump

Hold off on Amnesia Danger. The vote hasn't stabilized adequately, and it's still under discussion.

DTH. Didn't add Amnesia Danger, though.
