I suggest adding examples to Orwellian editor article since the trope is not subjective. I know it may be a bit controversial trope, but that's the nature of the trope itself. At least in-series examples should be allowed.

Every time an example is added, someone else edits it out.

It's not subjective, but having examples on there leads to natter, flaming and flaming natter.

[up][up]I find that amusing. I shouldn't because it's annoying, but I find it amusing because it's become a Self-Demonstrating Article.

That's the joke. I don't think people have really added examples to it.

No, there used to be examples. Lots of them, actually. I read them at least once. It got an Example Sectionectomy at some point.

Yeah but that was a long time ago. If you check the page history you won't even see them.

It was example sectionectomied and locked because it was being used to complain about any forum that someone felt had too harsh of moderation, with a complete disregard for the definition on the page.

It is slightly more likely that the sun will rise in the west tomorrow than that the Orwellian Editor page will ever be re-opened to free addition of examples.

I know, keep it locked, but with examples? Just like Troll

On that note, how do you add more examples that actually fit the other examples on a locked page like that?
