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

I don't think these edits are erroneous. Saying "kills" here and "murders" there doesn't really change how the page reads. The only bad edit I see is the Pieta Plagiarism one.
I don't object to the edits, I object to the troper's edit reasons not being in good faith and accusing the entries of being bad because they're too biased and sympathetic to the Flag-Smashers, when they're fairly factual statements of what happened in the show.

This is 100% an agenda that disregards the framing of the show. I’d support a revert and would even be willing to do it myself if I weren’t on mobile (like calling the Flag Smashers supporters “brainwashed” and wiping away that Karli killing Lamar is repeatedly shown and stated to have been an accident by saying she “murdered” him)
I agree, and I don’t exactly like the Flag-Smashers. Can we get a mod in here?
Definitely an agenda. That said I think substituting "Kill" for "brutally murder" isn't a bad edit. Brutally is kind of word cruft?
It might be an idea to leave kill/accidentally kill for Walker and Karli respectively. Not have murder and accidentally kill. To keep it more consistent.
The addition of "brainwashed" and "and most people" to Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters should certainly be reverted. As should the Pietà Plagiarism edit.

The edits were unilateral and kinda word crufty (even aside from the troper seeming to have an agenda); the page has been rolled back, and the troper's had a notifier sent.

^^ Normally I'd agree, except in cases like this, "brutally murder" isn't word cruft, it's context. "Kills him in broad daylight" doesn't really connotate the... well, brutality of the scene. It wasn't that he incapacitated a guy. It was that he repeatedly bludgeoned a helpless unarmed combatant. And the work showed it as being brutal and nothing near clean (morally or physically).
Look, I have plenty of issues with how the work portrayed... pretty much everything, really, but they did frame that action in a pretty specific light.

If "brutally murder" is contextually correct that should be corrected.
Troper skj edited the page for The Falcon And The Winter Soldier
complaining about language being too sympathetic to characters who are murderous terrorists, despite the series objectively framing the violence of Walker's attack as excessive in context.
