Ask The Tropers

EDIT: Never mind.

ok, i must write about that, i though that the concept driven by the recap, that was never brought before to the show (or any MLP generation prior this one i believe) was enough to make an entry, and i also though that the wiki magic would correct me by editing the entry or writing it anywhere like on the YMMV page or changing it the trope referred or at least, deleting it with a good reason, instead i got deleted without reason, nothing on the discussion page or the reason on the entry deleting it, not even a private message, asking for a explanation went no farther than "cause i didn't like what you wrote, oh and i would edited some part of the entry but i didn't", so i give Golden Football Player 1 day to answer with something better, just on the belief of cautious editing and good faith on his part, he just answered after the MP indicating the time over and some time near the new entry (the one you delete it), with anger and sarcasm, so i fixed the entry and posted it again.

gotta say, if a reason like yours had come first i didn't have the need of protect my entry, but it still leave questions: is TV Tropes still a wiki? what do i have to do to write a new trope for a series or an addendum to a trope without it being nuked just "because"? is a reason to write or delete an entry nothing but "bizarre edit reasons"? where's the wiki magic or the cautious editing? who is Fast Eddie to write on the lines of "oh he's a worthless troper, it doesn't care just delete it"?

i hope for an answer to all those questions 'cause i want to be more that just a lurker of the site, i want to make this site better, but just undoing things without reason or discussion is not the way i was hoping to take for that.

You should probably learn to capitalize your words properly.

As to your questions, */Fast Eddie is the head honcho of this site. If you have a complaint about him, it's probably best not to raise it in an aggrieved fashion.

After reading it, I can tell you that is has less to do with the content of your edit and more with your horrible spelling and grammar.

...How is "who is Fast Eddie to write on the lines of "oh he's a worthless troper, it doesn't care just delete it"?" raising a complain in an aggrieved fashion? Person has a problem with the shift key you show it and a dictionary to them, right? Not "oh he's trash".

OK, where exactly did FE write: "oh he's a worthless troper, it doesn't care just delete it"? Or: "oh he's trash"? What I see in the edit history is this: "I don't give a hooty about serious or not. Person can't find their shift key? Who needs them?".

The edits on the page are bad edits, sloppy, not properly punctuated and a mess. Someone else has to come in and clean up the mess. There is a big difference between relying on Wiki Magic to flesh out a page and relying on someone else to fix your bad writing.

Suspending if not already suspended, we need to talk with this person in the forums.

Wait, who's suspended, me or Casatodo? 'Cause I was just trying to do my job.

Casatodo. You're fine.

Er, it just came to my attention from the discussion page that the MLP Recap pages are being used as a forum to discuss the episodes, rather than the page. It's not too out of hand, but most of the discussion pages are about the episode.

ETA: A quick check to the Doctor Who recaps reveals the same issue, to a smaller extent. What other popular, currently-airing shows are there to compare this with? Is this a problem with most Recap discussion pages?

helterskelter make a new topic for this please.

Yes, I was going to (and am, now)—I wasn't sure if this was considered acceptable for a recap page, so I didn't right away. A mod informing it was so wouldn't need it's own topic right away. :)
