  1. Mention the video's name.
  2. 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.
  3. If you want the description changed, please write up a draft for the description.
  4. 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.

Can someone be banned from video uploading entirely? It's kind of an oversight if not.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

If that were possible, it would have happened by now.

I am afraid that someone has once again uploaded a video example to the Tear Jerker page under the name We Love You Alex and while I do believe this person truly meant well because the death of Alex Trebek was very sad for many people, nevertheless it’s a rule on this site that video examples are not allowed on that page. Perhaps a better trope for it can found possibly?

No Video Examples, Please! lists only four items, of which Tear Jerker is not one.

There's been discussion about whether it makes sense to have video examples for Moments, but we don't recall it coming to any conclusion...

Is it too late to add Pedro Pascal as a Media Source for the Mandalorian clip on Hey, That's My Line!?

[up][up][up] I think the issue is more that it's technically a Real Life example, though it is referring to the content of the show itself. Plus it's more of a heartwarming moment as it's a contestant supporting Alex back when he was alive.

Well I do know that this video example needs to be removed it was uploaded to the trope "Eureka!" Moment it’s called “Spongegar realizes how to cook” as it is sideways and lack a media source.

Getting the hang of videos being uploaded here as of late.

For SEAL Team, I got a video under Your Mom which doesn't have a media source name connected (SEAL Team) to it.

Somehow missed it.

[up]If it's you who uploaded it, you can usually go back to the video in question and edit in the source yourself. Just go back to where you uploaded it (the video examples page for Your Mom) and a gear should be visible on your upload after you click "Edit videos".

[down][down] In that case, making your request here is fine.

You should be able to edit your videos no matter how long ago they were uploaded. We checked, and we can still edit our oldest upload from multiple years ago.

@PAW Patrol: I've suspended the troper for again uploading a video without proper sourcing and capitalization. The video is processed, too.

@dsneybuf: Which video? [Both requests]

~Ominae: As others have said, you need to try this yourself, first.

@Pokemon 439: Added a source for the Spongebob thing, but I concur that we don't have a deletion reason for Tear Jerker yet.

@jandn2014: Done.

I once directed a troper to here because they claimed that they couldn't edit their upload to add a source. I've never encountered this issue yet myself, but since Ominae seems to state that they've tried already, it might be a similar issue. Maybe it's a bug?

Tried to check back. The upload’s already permanent and I don’t see a gear in the Your Mom video page for my own upload. I can’t change it.

What do you mean, "the upload is permanent"? What part of the interface is telling you that?

It's in the video page. I just saw a few days ago that the latest video (on top) I uploaded was approved for use. Meaning I cannot make any edits. No gear cog I can see to make some edits.

Yeah, the page you're looking for looks kinda like this.

Able to get to that page now.

Both of my requests concerned the "Warm or Cold" video on VideoExamples.Hey Thats My Line; I just find it so unfair that Temuera Morrison would have a Video Examples page with a Mandalorian clip, but the star of The Mandalorian doesn't.

The video example "Wrestle It Out" for Guy on Guy Is Hot lacks a source. It should be linked to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

In addition, the video example "Gumball | The Economy Song" for Bad News in a Good Way needs to be sourced to The Amazing World of Gumball.

The "Ralph Wiggum's "Special Area"" clip under The Body Parts That Must Not Be Named is unsourced; it belongs to The Simpsons.
