The policy on videos is here, the policy & general discussion here and maintenance discussion here.
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 Ratchet & Clank (2002) / "Chairman Drek" video on Is This Thing Still On? has a Bandicam watermark.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.Did the last two requests. The Die or Fly video already has the source and apparently the other one needs more discussion still?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman"Puddles" on Potty Failure violates No Video Examples, Please!
There's an example for Take That, Scrappy! ("Tuvok Kills Neelix") that lacks a source. It should be sourced to Star Trek: Voyager.
Trimming the hedges, one trope at a time.āCover Girlsā on Laser-Guided Karma has, surprise surprise, a Kimcartoon watermark in the top left.
In addition, āAmphibiaā on Break the Cutie is not an example of the trope. Itās merely one bittersweet scene instead of a character being constantly put through hell. The description is also Fan Myopia.

Done to here.

Also in Face Your Fears, shorten these cutoff titles:
- āRyder Faces His Fear - Paw Patā to āRyder Faces His Fearā
- āMarshall And Skye Face Their Fā to āMarshall and Skyeā
This really keeps being an issue with whoever is uploading all the PAW Patrol stuff. "Marshall And Skye Face Their F" on Face Your Fears is unsourced as well. Source is WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol
Can the mods see who's uploading those and talk to them?

The best character is always the one-shot disguise.Done to here, looks like it's a ~John Cartwright who needs a reminder.

Please can the RWBY video called "The Girl in the Tower" be removed from Happily Ever After?
The video deliberately cuts the narrator's final sentence of the displayed clip short to hide the fact that the story she's telling is not Happily Ever After.
The full sentence is "The two fell deeply in love, planned adventures around the world, and lived happily ever after... or, at least, that's what should have been." and the narrator continues the story to say what happened next, and why it wasn't Happily Ever After.
However, the video deliberately cuts off before the narrator says "or, at least, that's what should have been". It's not even a subverted trope example because the audience already knows that the Big Bad and Big Good are locked in a Forever War, they just don't know why until this story is told. That makes this version of the story a Foregone Conclusion example (except this video clip doesn't demonstrate that trope either).
The show's setting does tell the actual fairy tale, but only in a spin-off book; that version is a subverted example, but it doesn't have any video examples yet.

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.The title for the Nichijou video on Death by Falling Over has some special characters in it. Can someone please retitle it "Nichijou: Dolph Dies"?

There's a Central Park video on Mind Screw that uses ! Characterization tags in the description.
Tangentially, given the message doesn't seem to be getting across, I have to wonder if making their forbidden status an editing tip might help.
SoundCloudEditing tips haven't been touched in ages, unfortunately.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.^^^Sent a request to the admins to resolve that.
^^Done.
^Yes. It'd be probably time to discuss in TRS or Wiki Talk how to handle their pages.

Could a moderator please add the following media sources to the recently uploaded video for The Unpronounceable, the one titled "Harry reveals his real name":
- Resident Alien (Series)
- Resident Alien S 1 E 8 End Of The World As We Know It (Recap)
I did not upload these myself. Also, the video on Happy Dance, "The Learning Station" is about 4:40 in length and is well over the length limit.
"Trope Namer: Shang-Tsung" on Your Soul Is Mine! needs to have the media source corrected to Mortal Kombat: The Movie.
Title of the video is "Homer's Faulty Triangle Math".
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
