All discussions need to occur in these threads; here we only enact finalized decisions.
Please keep in mind that moderators are likely not familiar with the work/s the video/s is/are from. As such:
- Mention the video's name.
- If you want a trope added or removed from a video, please explain how the video fits/doesn't fit the trope or link to other discussions supporting your proposal.
- If you want the description changed, please write up a draft for the description.
- Videos that lack a media source go to Videos Without a Source and shouldn't be reported here. If a source has been found, feel free to submit a request for it to be added to the video.
Requests that don't fulfill the above requirements will not be handled.

The video on Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy titled "And I Fired And I Missed" uses more than half of the original video
, plus it's on the wrong trope anyway (it should be A-Team Firing).

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Done to here save for Faux Affably Evil as I can't see which source to remove. And this thread cannot do quality improvements on videos, sorry.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanOn Color Failure, the Star vs. the Forces of Evil example ("Star destroys her wand") does not seem like an example at all but a misuse/shoehorn. The wand's star turning black has nothing to do with the loss of character color associated with this comedic trope. It could be an example of No Power, No Color instead, I guess.

The sole video example on Jerkass Woobie is the finale of Red Vs Blue season 10 and is a massive spoiler for the five seasons preceding it.

Please delete "Cynthia Velasquez" on Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl, as the video is too badly artifaced to make anything out.
Cave Johnson, we're done here.Is it possible for me to request the removal of this video example?
It's the "And That's Checkmate" video on Downer Ending and The Bad Guy Wins (it seems to have been uploaded to both tropes at the same time, about a month ago).
It contains enormous spoilers for both characters and even the setting itself, so that's the first big problem.
The second problem might be even bigger: Back in April, a troper tried to Edit War Downer Ending for ending the video relates to. As a result, it ended up going through the episode recap's discussion page
, ATT
and Is This An Example?
(I collated all the links and votes here
). The consensus was that it was a "Ray of Hope" Ending, so that's what it's been troped as.
I don't know if it's possible to tell which troper uploaded the video, but I've just noticed that the troper who originally edit warred made another post to the discussion page in June reiterating their belief it's a Downer Ending, and they've sneaked the entry onto the DownerEnding.Web Original page (they haven't touched the RWBY work pages where they did the original edit war).
So, I'm just to off the ATT to raise the edit war over there (Edit: posted here
). But, I am wondering if the same troper is the one who's uploaded this video, or someone who has no idea about this history.
Please add Angry Birds Toons as a media source to "Angry Birds" on Stealth Hi/Bye.
Cave Johnson, we're done here.Okays I noticed something weird with The Incredibles video example page the video example for Do Not Call Me "Paul" is duplicated twice but the trope page only shows one video example. Why is that happening?

Do Not Call Me "Paul": "My name is not Buddy!"
- It's because the uploader sourced it to both WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles and Characters/TheIncredibles, the latter source should be removed.
Edited by Mavado on Aug 8th 2021 at 4:07:48 PM
Character pages are allowed to have videos, according to the uploader.
That's not the issue. The issue is that the same video was uploaded by two different people. One sourced to only the work page, one sourced to both the work page and the character page. Cut the former, I'd say (but move its description cuz it might be better).

Yeah, that is a lesser problem, but I agree.
Found a request on Videos Needing Review, which I agree with and is very hard to argue with imo:
- Princess Tropes: Princess Tropes is an index that doesn't allow text-examples, so the Ralph Breaks the Internet video needs to go.

Is there anything I need to do for the Downer Ending "And That's Checkmate" request?
If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.Posted about it in the Ask The Tropers thread.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanFilm/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy has been renamed to Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014, so all the videos here need to have their sources changed.
An unsourced video example Mundane Horror is actually a full video from YouTube channel: lights are off
and it's a supernatural creature in a mundane setting, so it is not really an example to begin with. Requesting a removal on basis of neither fitting nor complying with the rules

Exact Words: "The irony is lost on you."
Scary Librarian: "Librarian Mr. X"
Faux Affably Evil: "Telence/Terence T. D'Arby"
