Cleanup help needed

Anyone want to adopt the Anime Anatomy rename? There are 500 or so wicks that need to be changed to their new name, Barbie Doll Anatomy, but I'm not taking that on, or at least not until I've got Cute Shotaro Boy put to bed.

I'll try.

I managed to get to get to the halfway D point, I'll try to cover the rest later.

I need help cleaning up after Taksucks. He has terrible spelling and grammar.

Family-Unfriendly Aesop is full of natter and justifying edits. I might get to it later myself, but I'm too tired to deal with it right now.

Currently working on the Cute Shotaro Boy cleanup. For Marsmallow Hell, I changed it to Children Are Innocent, which does not really fit. Do we have a trope for "children are chaste"?

Bruno Mars has problems with Thread Mode and a lot of it seems like complaining anyway.

This isn't really natter as such, but Required Secondary Powers is full of typos (especially missing punctuation), bad indentation, word cruft, and the like. I swear the entire page, every second example, is gunked up.

Development Hell has problems with recent examples. Eg. a lot of examples talk of "recent" events from who knows when and a number of examples say that things are expected to be released in (year that has already passed) or say as of (some year).

I would attempt some cleanup, but I know nothing of the works that have the "recent" stuff in their examples.

I don't know if this is the right place for it, but I don't know that it's worthy of TRS treatment either:

Good Colors, Evil Colors is full of examples that misuse it for any color-coding at all. I mean, baby monkeys are a different color from adults! I don't see any indication that the name or description is unclear, it's just misuse. But it seems to be all the examples needing cleanup.

Wow, you should probably take Good Colors, Evil Colors to TRS, because that's some serious Trope Decay.

I cleaned up a bunch of "recently" examples in Development Hell. The page could probably use a good general cleaning, too. Lots of bad Example Indentation and moderate Natter.

The description on Purple Prose has been rewritten to reflect that Tropes Are Not Bad; however, the examples still reflect the old tone of the article and desperately need "neutralizing".

Vindicated by History has a lot of instances of Zero Context Example.

I confess that I just don't have the time or motivation to start another TRS thread for Good Colors, Evil Colors when I've already got 2 or 3 in there now, plus I've committed to cleaning over 1500 remaining Oldest Ones in the Book wicks. So I really hope TRS is not necessary for that trope.

I'm gonna try and clean it up later, then. Hopefully it'll work out without TRS.

The Sociopath needs clean up it's a trope page that's written like a useful notes, but even the Useful Notes part has a ton of questionable information, which seems to make the mistake that All Sociopaths are serial killer / criminals, which is fine for the trope part but the page is trying to pass it off like it's the reality. Also massive Wall of Text.

Quite frankly I wanted to take it to TRS but it's full.

The PAL Bonus thread is on its way out of TRS, it just needs ~100 wicks cleaned up and it may be done within the day. You may have a chance to start a thread.

The TRS just got its monthly dead-thread purge, now is the time to swarm it it with new threads that will stall and get purged in a few months. ;)

Thank you It has been thread-ed. Also dear god, that Bruno Mars section, I'm just going to cut that entire thread mode-ing out for now with a reason of complaining.

Critical Research Failure is a mess on at least two levels. There are lots of examples that don't "rise to the level" of Critical, in that the average viewer wouldn't automatically recognize them as obvious errors.

On a more basic level, there seem to be a bunch of "misfiled" examples — movies places in Live Action TV, errors of a Web Original review of a film being put in Film, etc.

Swept Critical Research Failure down through films. Ugh, need to do something else for a while. Reasons are on the edit reasons.

Showgirls has a very judgemental description (ETA: And needs to be namespaced besides).

I'm partially responsible, but the wiki has (wisely) cracked down on that sort of thing since the page was launched.

Hush Hush's trope examples aren't neutral. Whoever wrote the page seems not to like the book.

After the End needs help with examples a ton of examples are WMG's and theories.

also The Apocalypse Brings Out the Best in People just confuses me
