I should point out that both of you are technically Edit Warring over this.
I didn't edit war. I just said Buu threatened the entire universe, which he did and several characters said it in the manga. The original line was that Buu could destroy the universe, which was what Forenperser protested.
Basically, semantics. I honored what he wrote by not putting the original line back, but I did give context on how dangerous Buu was.

It isn't really an edit war because of the illegal image. This issue needs more attention.
My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!
Wait, what? Why does the image have anything to do with anything?
Anyhoo, As far as I know, Super is considered canon to the Manga. Filler, movies (other than YSGAHFR, BOTG, and RF), and GT aren't canon.
And yes, Ramona, you did edit-war. But you did report it here not... too... long after you edit-warred so I don't think it's a huge deal. I do have to take issue with how passive-aggressive your ATT topic was, though. You didn't come here to resolve an issue, you came here to sic the mods on someone you disagree with. He even offered a very fine compromise (changing the context to something accurate for both the anime and manga) which you rejected. Which honestly sounds like a page-ownership issue.

I didn't reject it at all. All I said was Buu threatened the universe, when the original point was that Buu could destroy the universe, which the other troper called 'filler nonsense'.
Also, Super does use some filler from the anime. It's actually closer to Kai and Kai said Buu can destroy the universe if you want to be specific. And my point was that something can't be deleted on the basics of it being 'filler'.

Illegal images or plagarized texts are a free action to remove, since they could get the wiki in trouble.
The rest of it is edit-warring and gets reported toot-sweet. That's beyond sending a PM

Did you look at the history? The illegal image was never added to the page, it was in an edit reason.
So here's the timeline:
- Forenperser changed the wording to delete some context calling it "filler nonsense."
- Ramona immediately changed it back (this is where it became an edit war)
- Forenperser changed it to something that is equally true in the manga and anime. His edit reason included a hotlinked image.
- Ramona then changed it to something that implies the original, contested text.
Honestly, I'm fine with the current wording, but rather dissatisfied with how we got there.

I personally don't see the difference between removing a link or the image/words themselves. It still has to go.
And looking at edit histories on my phone is a pain precisely because I miss things.
Edit: Nevermind, I'm a dingbat. >.<

I'm afraid I don't follow. The image in question was never on the page but the troper included a link to the image in his edit-reason. And to address Zero L's point, this was after the edit war had started so it doesn't somehow negate the fact that Ramona started the edit war... not that it would anyway, since Ramona's edits didn't do anything to remove the image.

I didn't start the edit war. I put the original edit back because I came here over a year ago and asked if an entry can be erased or altered if it was filler material. It was said that it can't since filler is still part of the work, so I put the original edit back because the reason for the text being deleted 'filler nonsense', wasn't a valid reason and I put it in the edit notes. It was also the first edit I did for that entry.
It doesn't matter who starts the edit war. It's who participated that really matters.
Hello,
A troper named Forenperser seems to have issue on what is considered 'canon' in Dragon Ball as seen with this edit on the https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=DragonBallSuper.TropesPToZ
. He actually tries to post an illegal image. I tried to point out that something being filler or 'not canon' to the manga doesn't matter as long as it is part of the work since they made an edit earlier about this subject. Maybe you can PM them since this could be an issue they continue down this path.
