Anyone think the example should be restored?

Just a few days ago he tried to skew her and Waluigi's Base-Breaking Character examples to be overwhelmingly biased in favor of his opinions on the characters. He also did something similar on the Mario Kart 7 YMMV page with a The Scrappy example that basically consisted of "Everybody hates her" without saying why.

Also, I can't shake the feeling that he's actually Yoshizilla Rhedosaurus under another name.

I'm all for restoring the example, but it's highly likely he's going to move to a different page and pull the same stuff there.

Whatever happened to Yoshizilla?

Yoshizilla is a rather bizarre fanfic writer who recently has been downright fanatical with his bashing of Rosalina. Patrobotnik's edits consist solely of Entry Pimping Yoshizilla's creator page when they aren't Rosalina and Waluigi related, so he's either an alias of Yoshizilla or a huge fan trying to parrot his favorite author's beliefs.

Mods, can we please get an IP check?

No IP overlap between Yoshizilla and Patrobotnik, but that doesn't completely rule out puppetry. It just means we'll have do to a more in-depth check (not by me —at least not right now. It's 4 am my time right now.)

On the YMMV page for Mario Kart 7, they readded Rosalina as a scrappy despite the fact that it was removed beforehand on the basis that she doesn't count.

Tapped on the shoulder. We shall see what we see.
