Twitter is not creative media. Our article on it should at most describe what it is and does, but the reactions of its user base to its structural changes are completely out of scope for our wiki.

You could also bring up Website.Twitter to the websites clean-up thread here. I agree with Fighteer that it is not itself a tropeable work, but if you're a fan of Twitter you could bring it there and defend it (as a work, as a Useful Note, or whatever) in discussion.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty

What I mean was that the recent edit on the page. The last edit before mine felt too complain-y about the 280 character count, and I was reluctant to edit that so I had to ask first on ATT before editing. UPDATE: Someone else fixed it be removing the latter one.

The edit for the "this troper" to "I" part was for this thread only.

"This troper" has been banned from the wiki. Everywhere. No exceptions. If you see it, it's because it hasn't been cleaned up yet.

Okay. Noted. I will always use "I" instead of that certain third person phrase that must not be named.

Can we close this thread now? I think the thing on Twitter has been resolved.

Oh Lord. Okay. Let me rephrase that. First-person has been banned from the wiki. No ifs, ands, or buts. Don't use "I". Don't use "this troper". Don't use first person at all. Anywhere.

I don't see what's so hard about this. The use of the phrase "This Troper" was being used as a substitute for the common noun "I" within this thread.

(at least I'm extrapolating that based on the edit notes and comments left by the original poster)
