Youmustbelost: Started work on the Emberverse page; haven't finished Sword of the lady, so won't be able to say much on it, but the other books shouldn't be a problem. I don't mind setting this one up, but anyone who wants to start adding tropes or character bios/summaries/whatever, have at.
Great Pikmin Fan (this was added on the top because, you know, that's how it's supposed to be done): Who changed the Saving Private Edwards link to the Main/ namespace? It's part of Talking With Jon, It's a show within a show.
Working Title: Media That Could Be Bluelinks: From YKTTW
Nate The Great: We seem to have some trouble with the New Media and Web Original categories. Is there anything in New Media that can't technically be called Web Original? Could we merge?
Vashthe Stampede: I want to add the Canadian supernatural show "The Collector." How do you add a page so I can do that (or if someone can added that to for me I'll fill it out)
Maso Tey: Here you go: The Collector (For future reference, to add a new page you just create the title as a Wiki Word on another page and click on it, or type
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Namespace/TitleOfTheNewPageinto your browser. The namespace will usually be Main; in this case it's Series because there's already a trope called The Collector in Main.)
headshot ED: Launched a page for DEFCON, placed it under the Real-Time Strategy page.
Xewleer: Pandora Hearts now has a page. My knowledge (and tropes therein) Only extend to Chapter 11... So... if anyone has stuff they'd like to contribute that takes place afterward...
Sweet Madness: Made a page for tool.
Scooter007: [deleted, never mind]
Flabyo: Launched Perfect Blue
Flabyo: I've added in The Place Promised In Our Early Days, it's a bit short of tropes so far, but I trust in the magic. As an aside, we now have everything Makoto Shinkai has done apart from She And Her Cat.
Malchus: I feel that Harry Turtledove ought to have a creator article for him. He and his works mentioned in quite a number of tropes, as a body seacrh will show, and he has pretty much been a big force in the genre of Alternate History. I'd like to make the article myself, but my knowledge of his works is limited mostly to Timeline-191 and the Worldwar series and there are probably others who've read more of his works and are more qualified to make said article.
Swish : I would like to second this motion, and while i have read every Alternate History book he's written, i would feel that i didn't do the author justice due to the large quantity of Fantasy that he's written (Of which I have only read one book, never got into it enough to buy a second. Fantasy isn't really my thing, go figure). I will likely debate this over the next few weeks, perhaps i'll make the page myself for his Alternate History works, and leave Fantasy to someone else.
headshot ED: MAR now has a summary and extensive trope list. Moved it to the Noteworthy Anime section.
Luc: The "sign on" to a show aspect: Good, bad, or the guy with the gun?
Fast Eddie: Perhaps you are thinking of Title Sequence?
Luc: No, the process described in the (current) second paragraph... unless you're funning me, in which case, no, I was thinking of the Cold Opening.
Willy Four Eyes: Picked up the "Atelier Series" link (which I had originally linked as "Atelier"). I only know enough about the first game to add examples from it. Now to expand that sucka!
Space Drake: Consider that sucka expanded.
SKJAM: Made a Black Jack page.
- Also Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
- And Futaba Kun Change
- Princess Knight, too.
- City Hunter
- A Little Princess
- I My Me! Strawberry Eggs
- Green Arrow
Indigo: I got
Tanto: I can take Mistborn, but as I have neither the time nor the patience to formulate a list of examples these days, someone else will have to take care of that part. Deal?
Nate The Great: We already have an article for Batman The Animated Series, why do we need a separate one for The New Batman Adventures?
Rothul: I assume this one refers to the one with Bat-mite and not in the DCAU
Chadius : Team America World Police is up and running. It's a wiki, so trow Wiki Magic at it.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: To whoever added Cat Suit to the list: Don't we already have Spy Catsuit under Stripperiffic?
J: The Blue Sword needs some Wiki Magic.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Killed a Blues Brothers listing. The name of the film is The Blues Brothers, and I believe we already have it. Or is there another?
bluepenguin: I did Voices Of A Distant Star, but it could probably do with some expanding.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Proposition: we do not have a page for the story "Flowers for Algernon" because we have a trope with that name. As far as I know, we cannot split off books like we do films, TV series, or comics; the story listing has nowhere to go.
Aoede: Proposition: either rename the trope - Google makes it easy to find all instances that need to be changed - or somehow specify in the book-page's title that it's a book (e.g., punctuated title "Flowers for Algernon (book)"), and link the book-page from the trope-page so that confused people can deconfuse themselves. Aoede': I may be demonstrating my ignorance of tropewiki conventions here, but if Literature/x is a valid page, why is that not an option?
Lizuka: I am adding on Izuna: The Legend of the Unemployed Ninja - it isn't the most well-known of series, but it is linked enough on the site and mentioned under enough tropes that I think it's warranted.
Essex: I can take Medarot, if you like.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Please do.
Po8: Moved the "Missing Universal Tropes" over to Needs A Better Description since they don't fit on this page at all. I thought about just deleting them, since that's what YKTTW is for. But that seemed a bit harsh.
Brickie: Done Tora Tora Tora - needs some more Trope Examples and possibly better indexing.
Brickie: Also done The Crucible but don't have time to add examples. Also couldn't find an appropriate index entry...
High Five: I could probably do the bare bones for Flowers for Algernon.
Aoede: Where there's a skeleton, there's a way.
High Five: Done! Check Flowers for Algernon. It's a bit small, but if someone could expand, it could be much better.
Aoede: First step - consolidation. Done that.
Uknown Troper: Did Dennou Coil.
Cpt Button: Did Suzuka.
IntrepidSovereign: Taking a shot at Living Single.
IntrepidSovereign: Done.
Zeke: Created St Elsewhere since I was surprised to find it a redlink in a WMG I posted. I've never actually watched it, so the article's a stub; I covered the one thing everyone knows about the show, and used Google to see what other tropes it had been mentioned on. [ETA: Thanks to Anonymous Mc Cartney Fan for filling out the intro a bit.]
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Funimation calls the vs. of Witchblade it distributes (makes?) an anime. Who makes the real (Japanese) anime?
Eddie Van Helsing has added a page for The Last Remnant. However, he hasn't gotten that deep into the story.
Otempora: Launched Assassins. However, I haven't seen it live, so I may be missing a few details.
High Five: Again, I'm going to do the skeleton for Angela Anaconda. I've wanted to see this page made for a while: it might as well be me who makes it.
Saeglopur: Inspector Morse is done and dusted. Please do edit if you think it's in any way rubbish.
English Ivy: Launched Sexy Losers. Now I feel dirty.
Sijo: Did Thor (as The Mighty Thor, to avoid confusion with any other version.) Took it out of the list.
Sijo: Launched The Death Of Superman.
English Ivy: Launched minus.
English Ivy: Launched The Yellow Wallpaper.
Atheris: Launched Freedom Fighters.
Kinitawowi: Launched The Aristocrats.
English Ivy: Launched Lyle In Cube Sector.
English Ivy: Launched Barefoot Gen.
Ulti S.: Laid out the bare bones for Arkham Asylum A Serious House On Serious Ground.
Ulti S.: Launched Anne Rice. Tried to keep it as neutral as I could.
Guineveredawn: Created an entry for Peter Jackson. I would appreciate edits, as I only wrote the basics.
English Ivy: Launched Raging Bull.
Sepherest: Started up Kaze To Ki No Uta, though I'd totally love some help with putting in all the tropes and maybe a character page.
Daisy Chain: On it. :-)
godborn : Will do The Big Sleep as soon as possible. Also removed Superboy. Wiki Magic has made it blue.
Jumpingzombie: Started up C.O.P.S.. Could used some editing and Trope adding.
Flabyo: Launched Gran Turismo
Some Sort Of Troper: Long name, needs redirects: Works Needing Summary, Shows Needing Summary
Catch_the_sun : Just launched Tsunami Channel, although admittedly incomplete. Was also the one who launched Deltora Quest. Both needs clean-up badly. Ugh. Good night, everyone.
RichM90071: The Chronicles Of Amber was requested by Aoede. It's already on the wiki as Book Of Amber. I created a redirect: The Chronicles Of Amber ==> Book Of Amber.
English Ivy: Launched Midnight Cowboy a couple days ago.
English Ivy: Launched Fun Home.
Drashian: Made Trace Memory, with a LOT of Katrani's help. Although, it could use some Wiki Magic.
Jumpingzombie: started up an actual page for Over The Hedge. However, right now it's just the bare bones. Could use some fleshing out/Wiki Magic.
Flabyo: Launched Electronic Arts and Desert Strike.
English Ivy: Launched Persepolis.
English Ivy: Launched Yes.
English Ivy: Launched Legend.
English Ivy: Launched Moscow On The Hudson.
Nohbody: For the John Ringo Ghost thing, the series as a whole was launched under Paladin Of Shadows (the name Ringo's web site gives it), so should it be removed from the list, or just note the name it's covered by? (addition: I probably missed some, but searched to edit in "Paladin Of Shadows" where Ghost was mentioned.)
(later) Set a redirect for literature/Ghost pointing to Paladin Of Shadows
English Ivy: Launched Tupac Shakur and Pieta. Also I launched Tampopo a while back and forgot to mention it here.
Ulti S.: Redirected The Cal Leandros Series to the already existing Cal Leandros.
Milu: Launched Bruce Willis.
Chocolatepot: Launched Steamboy, although I can never think of the official trope names so it's very light on actual tropes.
Jumpingzombie: Started up a page for Drop Dead Fred. It could use some trope adding.
dxman: Why hasn't there been any bluelinks for music pages since Aphex Twin was added about a week ago?
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Because music pages are harder to write. Odds are, at least one of these conditions holds:
- It's uncertain when this band or artist started producing.
- It's uncertain when, or if, this band or artist finished producing. There may be albums that are effectively in Dis Continuity because the record company isn't promoting them. And musicians who can no longer get records released through major outlets often keep touring.
- The band that needs a listing has had high turnover. There are a few bands that have had 100% turnover, in which case one must think carefully about what one is listing. (For instance, the Four Tops was a classic band in its time, but now is the same band In Name Only.) Likewise, one must determine whether The Band Minus the Face is worth covering.
- For shorter-lived bands, little is known about them but the existence of their singles.
- For some bands, Complaining About Shows You Dont Like is hard to avoid, justified or not. (I am trying to imagine a fair and balanced The Backstreet Boys entry.)
Great Pikmin Fan:
Xaris: Made a page for Conception
- Made a usable page for Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Infamous_Q: Need a page for {{MTV'sDowntown MTV's Downtown}}, its referenced quite a few times on the site.
dxman: The Music section is way too long and should be trimmed. I'm not sure if all of those need pages.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Uncle Toms Cabin got launched without the ptitle. The ptitled vs. is still a redlink, but the page for the work exists. What's proper procedure?
Delta One: Launched Cheaper By The Dozen
takashi.0: Launched Anime Pulse, Nightmare Before Christmas Oogies Revenge, and Nightmare Before Christmas The Pumpkin King
Nitzthe Bloody: Anyone think that Matt Fraction's run on Invincible Iron Man deserves a new page, as a specific Iron Man storyline?
English Ivy: Launched Rushmore.
Prfnoff: I don't see why Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs would need a summary on this wiki. It's just a programming textbook, and isn't even the sort of textbook that has a narrative (as the Cambridge Latin Course does). And besides I couldn't find a single other reference to it on this site.
Tonestronaut: Launched The Cars.
Tonestronaut: Launched Buddy Holly.
English Ivy: Launched 50 Cent.
Jumpingzombie: Launched Welcome To The Dollhouse.
