Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
In addition, his recap pages contain no actual summary of the episode (I guess it's an episode of ... something). They also aren't indexed, just floating in the ether, with entries like:
mr cheese : yeah more like MORON colour!!! , (chuckles a bit) Good one me
Player : some things never change
I'm sending a general notifier with a link to How to Write an Example
I didn't choose the troping life, the troping life chose me
Agreed, awful is being kind. They’re very sloppy and a big serial tweaker as well.
Yeesh, I see what you're all talking about. Bumping for mod attention.

I understand that they're new but they should go to the English forum since it help me when I was new in Tv tropes before.
“What is that? It's The Unknown!”
^ The grammar notifiers do contain a link to the help with English forum.
We can add edit warring
to the list as they have re-added the multiple exclamation points that OP (correctly) removed as unnecessary.
It's not technically edit warring because there were never multiple exclamation points on that particular entry, but it's concerning that I sent them a PM and said in my edit reasons not to do that for some of their edits and they did it again anyway.

Since I didn't previously have a horse in the race on A Polite Index, so to speak, I've removed the excess punctuation and other grammar errors Arctimon didn't already take care of. (Has RafifT26's use of emoticons on the wiki been mentioned yet? If not, I'll mention it now; it seems they don't distinguish between writing a forum post and writing a wiki entry.)
Is there anything worth salvaging on Characters.Exchange Student Zero, or should it be put on the cut list? It hasn't been indexed, and the formatting and grammar are so poor I'm having trouble distinguishing between trope entries and dialogue quotes.
I did mention the emoticons in the PM I sent them, but their response to it was very basic, so I'm not sure if they understood.
About the character page, unless someone with actual knowledge of the show can decipher the examples, I would say cut it.

I would support cutting the character page, as well as Among Us Logic But The Imposter Changes Colors, which is solely edited by them. They have also created Exchange Student Zero, again badly formatted with bad grammar.
These edits have been since this thread was started, FYI.
I didn't choose the troping life, the troping life chose me
Going to bump this, they have since created Exchange Student Zero
I didn't choose the troping life, the troping life chose me
His editing pattern sounds... familiar.
Ban evader?
^ Of whom exactly?
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
^^ What troper?
Should we summon the op?
Edited by Bubblepig “What is that? It's The Unknown!”
The troper I thought of was Hollywill 06, who I agree does have similar problems and has evaded before, but I wasn't confident enough to say.
Bumping again, because they are continuing to edit with incorrect formatting and lousy grammar, having ignored the notifiers I've sent.
I didn't choose the troping life, the troping life chose me
Yes, other than the first notifier, they have not responded to any of the other ones I sent.

Aaaaaaand... here be the latest whoo-haa.
I know a Tearjerker page is prone to Emotional Troping, but come on... was ALL THE CAPS IN SENTENCES really necessary?

^They sent you a link to a forum thread that exists for the purpose of helping edit. But you either couldn't tell, or ignored it, neither of which inspires much faith in you.

Sorry, but internet strangers are not a substitute for a proper schooling in a language. We do have a forum thread where you can ask other tropers to proofread edits you want to make, but you need to actually use it first rather than slam edits on the page and expect others to fix them for you.
Suspension applied for their poor use of English.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
And now they sent me a rudeness notifier for THIS edit. Sour grapes, I think.
Well, I'm glad to be part of this Meaningful conversation...
Just kidding, guys. Please lock this before someone gets the cotton candy and popcorn.
RafifT26's
grammar is, quite frankly, atrocious. Their edits on this page in particular
tell me they have no idea about how to format a page.
I sent them a couple of grammar notifiers just now but I feel like this might need more intervention if this continues.
