Could someone unlock the Nightmare Fuel page for The Super Mario Bros Movie? Reason why I asked is because the Nightmare Fuel page's points are supposed to be based on opinion, and having the page locked was (no offense) a bit hypocritical.

It's locked because it was created without the usual review process and the Character-Specific Page cleanup thread is working on it.

Best option is to post there and see if they can either include it with those cleanup changes, or if they're comfortable for you to go straight to the Locked Page edit thread and ask a mod to make the change on your behalf now.

Some updates for the Useful Notes/The New 20s.

Scitech -

  • The first module of the Chinese Space Station was launched in 2020, and it will presumably be completed this decade. James Webb, the long-awaited successor to Hubble, has also been successfully launched in 2021 as part of joint operation between NASA, ESA and CSA.

  • On January 2022 the first successful heart transplant form pig to human was performed.

Europe -

  • On 12 January 2022, the NATO-Russia Council met at NATO's HQ in Brussels to discuss Russia's military build-up near its border with Ukraine and Russia's demands for security guarantees in Europe, most notable the positioning of NATO's long range missile weaponry.

The Middle East -

  • Kazakhstan saw massive protests erupt in 2022 due to the government failing to address high oil prices. Of note was the military aid sent by CSTO (eastern equivalent of NATO) which was requested by the Kazakh government in order to help quell the protests.

Asia and the Pacific -

  • In January, The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, the largest free trade area in the world came into effect for Japan, China, Laos, Cambodia, Brunei, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

  • A large volcanic eruption causes a tsunami that devastates Tonga and warnings are issued for Australia, Canada, Chile, Fiji, Japan, New Zealand, Samoa, and the United States.

Africa -

  • In 2021 the African Continental Free Trade Area came into effect, a largest in the world in terms of the number of participating countries since the formation of the World Trade Organization.

Would anyone be able to tell me why page for the 1994 "Thumbelina" film is locked at this time? I was thinking I could spruce things up by improving it a little, but...yeah.

Going through the page history, it looks as though someone left some pretty nasty and vulgar comments as the reasoning for their edits in the past. I can understand, based on that, why it was locked, but how long does that remain in effect for, exactly?

It was a leftover bug from the 1.8 update, where pages would occasionally lock for no real reason. The bug has mostly died down, but I still see it pop up once in a while. I've since fixed the Better Call Saul tearjerker page, so it should be free to edit again.

For future reference, if you see a page that seems to be locked for no apparent reason, you can fix it yourself by clicking on the "History" tab, and then clicking on "Edit Page" from there. If you cancel out of the edit, then the page should be unlocked. (And if it's still locked, then it was probably a page that was locked deliberately.)

Typically, in most rock band, a bassist is required and the female is usually the lead singer.

So I would like to request that the leader become the guitarist, the lancer become the bassist, and the chick become the lead singer.
