Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

And what exactly are you basing this assertation on? The Google search results that I made conclusively debunk the idea that the two terms are not commonly used in English.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

If you've ever lived in America you will know that probably not even 1 in 10 is aware that the word diaspora exists. Megalopolis and megapolis are words that are known by those who have studied the language and chosen to learn correct vocabulary, and by those native speakers who need to use it or also choose to do extra studies. These words are beyond uncommon for most native speakers. Lots of obscure technical jargon do get a lot of google results now, because of specialist forums and from academic papers being freely available online. And, even if the terms were somewhat known by the general public, they are still nowhere near the level of recognition of Metropolis — I have zero doubts that if people are searching for the concept of a Mega City that they will search for that first.

Simply, those words are just not known by most native English speakers in any capacity. As I said before, I've only heard them used in fiction (specifically, science fiction set in the future/other planets). So, you know that they are words, and what they mean — most don't.

Requesting that the recently cut Trivia.Endtown be added to the Permanent Red Link Club, to drive home the message (not like it needs driving home, I hope) that WE DO NOT TOLERATE ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES ON THIS WIKI. Seriously, doxxing? WHAT.

Seriously though, wtaf?

No. It's not like it couldn't have trivia at some future point. The user adding that crap has been bounced.

So why the lock? Trying to keep out socks? That phrasing wasn't intentional by the way... still

Requesting adding this to Playboy:

Trope Namer for I Read It for the Articles. This really was a legitimate justification as recently as the 90s. Literary greats published in the magazine include Joseph Heller, Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, Gabriel García Márquez, Margaret Atwood, John Updike, Haruki Murakami, Norman Mailer, and Ray Bradbury.

If you're going to add that, might as well make Margaret Atwood a blue-link as well. :)

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

Didn't realize we had a page for her. Thanks!

At Literature, please remove Creepypasta from works with their own pages. It's really only applicable to Fan Works and Other Media, so it should stay there. Thanks.
Also, at Web Original, please unlock it. We're giving that its own page.

Apparently that old issue about redirects not showing up on the Related page has not been conclusively resolved, as City-State is absent from Land of One City's Related page.

On a different note, please redirect Psychoreactive Powers to Psychoactive Powers.^Rationale Whoever gave the trope its current name seems to have been completely unaware that "psychoactive" actually means "affecting the mind", which is the exact opposite of what it's being used for ("affected by the mind"). "Psychoreactive" is the proper term for this — and no, I did not invent it. Google Search shows it already exists and is used for describing objects and substances that react to the mind, which fits the construction of the name (psychoreactive = mind-reactive = reacts to the mind).

... I'm usually more attentive to such mistakes. Thanks for pointing it out.

That's Psychoactive Powers. Always check for typos before adding Wiki Word links.

That's very logical, I would have thought that, yes, the trope was meaning affecting the mind rather than the other way around. ^and Psychoreactive is... somewhat common, and even if it was not then just by linguistic rules it is a logical name for what it (and the trope) means

• 15265/nombretomado regarding my last post.

I did post a sorta argument on the Discussion page for Fallen Creator which would probably be good to read, but I figure I'll write more. Not sure what sorta angle I could go for, more so what you'd be willing to accept. I have noticed people don't cite sources here for page changes other than just offhandedly mentioning them but I'm willing to link to them if requested. Sorry I'm so awkward at writing things up. A lot of my issue comes from not really knowing HOW to clear him from the list? Do I cite examples of him being spoken highly by the games industry? What's considered a biased source? etc. Like this is first and foremost a site for fans. So even though he's often cited as a legend by other game developers and as one of the fathers of cinematic games by people like Jim Sterling, magazines like EDGE Uk, Playstation magazines at the time of Heart of Darkness' release, has his work featured in magazines, exhibits, etc. it ultimately matters what his FANS think. And researching into people who are fans of his work I could only find one real person total who was disappointed in Heart of Darkness and From Dust, with a considerable amount thinking that his games have held up in quality. Generally speaking people prefer Another World, but still hold Heart of Darkness in high regard, with From Dust being enjoyed as well. Youtubers who seem to consider themselves fans of his work or to have enjoyed games of his design for instance Pew Die Pie, Dan Avidan (of Game Grumps fame) for their comments on Heart of Darkness, and Markiplier's comments on his playthrough of From Dust, are visibly impressed by the art direction and nature of the games, citing them as intuitive and wellmade. Other than Dan though, they are not truly "Eric's fans" more so just enjoying one or two of his games. Eric's fans just aren't the type to primarily get really loud and vocal about their opinions most of the time. Searching him on twitter you'll find people casually mentioning how he's their favorite developer or something of that nature but I wouldn't know what specific person to cite entirely that would matter. There's simply no bad blood between Eric and his fans. The issues largely with Heart of Darkness and its development was that the video game market and the advent of 3D graphics made it very difficult for small independent developers to put out games that could measure up to those their larger competition released. Amazing Studio, the company Eric was a part of but not to sole owner of consisted of 5 main team members, and at most numbered up to 12 as certain others were hired to work on the project. They functioned out of a small apartment in Paris and couldn't use or afford expensive equipment or programs to work on the game, creating most of their content from scratch. When the game was released it generally got around 70% positive rating for PC and 80% positive for Playstation. The biggest complaint was simply that 2D games weren't viable anymore and the 3D cutscenes that were impressive when it was first ready for release in 1996 were now a little less than average when compared to what larger studios were producing. The section on Fallen Creator makes it sound like Eric attempting to make a perfect game resulted in Heart of Darkness' downfall when in reality it was the company that signed on to release the game (Virgin Interactive Entertainment) were having financial turmoil and dropped the project before publishing it, leaving the team in limbo for much of 1997 and early 1998 as they attempted to find another publisher, by then releasing the game at a very rough time for a slightly dated 2D game to come out. The vast majority of criticism that Eric's games do get are not from fans, and are people who clearly haven't heard of him before and don't know the background of his indie titles made by small studios. There's also far more people who view him in a positive light than a negative one. Eric Chahi's acclaim is far more noticeable in French-speaking communities, simply because of the nature of being a French citizen and being a relatively secluded man working on smaller indie titles, however he is still very much lauded as a pioneer of video game intuition, in particular for the argument that video games are an art form. in 2012, his most famous game Another World was part of an exhibit on influential pieces of the game industry in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 2013; JMJV, a European Expo for video games loosely translated to "World Video Game Days" featured an entire exhibit on his life and works. Eric Chahi would then go on to create a real time volcano simulator featured in Reunion volcano museum. It was ended up correctly predicting an active eruption of the creator it was built to simulate. Eric as of 2013 has had a biography written about him (In French of course) by Pixnlove where the explanation that it was not failure of Heart of Darkness or of negative fan reception that drove him from the industry for so long, but rather the amount of time he worked on games without break during the currently shifting industry. His most recent project is still very much unknown aside from him getting a sizable money grant to produce it, and it being a virtual reality game called "Paper Beast" that he reportedly founded a new small development studio to create it. I admit I don't feel too confident in my abilities to write this. I would appreciate talking to me further on the subject as it's likely you're looking for very specific examples to indulge on in order to remove the entry. I do understand though that you are likely too busy to play a game of "help me explain in ways that are best for you" as this is one very small issue on a very obscure topic. So if not, here is at least the current section of the page with all outright inaccurate information removed:

" Eric Chahi, after making his Magnum Opus Another World in 1991, disappeared from the public eye for nearly decade. The long protracted development cycle caused by Virgin Interactive Entertainment letting go of the project near the end of development caused Heart Of Darkness to be released to warm but ultimately less enthusiastic ratings than Another World, due primarily to the game being 2D and the cutscenes visibly still leftover from its original intended 1996 release date. (released in 1998, it actually sold very well around 1.5 million copies and getting a platinum release in Europe. The game despite not being seen as revolutionary as Another World is still enjoyed by his fans.) He left the game industry for several years but came back in 2006 with the digitally distributed Updated Re-release of Another World, and through the new budding market for indie games developed the title From Dust which soon after was released on Steam and virtual console through Ubisoft. "

Sorry I couldn't be better at writing up this. Public debate is not one of my strong suits.

Requesting that Everyone Calls Her "Barkeep", Everybody Calls Her Barkeep, Everyone Calls Them Barkeep, and Everybody Calls Them Barkeep be redirected to Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep".

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

The page Donald Trump put his name in bold in the lead paragraph, which isn't the correct style here. Also, his middle name (John) should be added.

Oh, similar to , please remove the bolding from Jimmy Savile.

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

Debolded both.

Please add Savile's page to Locked Pages.

Done to here except for the CM stuff, I'll get to that later. The Fallen Creator stuff is a massive wall of text that will be considered later as well.
