From the pin:
VideoExamples.WinnieThePoohMainCast
has Winnie-the-Pooh — Main Cast listed as a media source and needs to be removed.
Kenny's Sacrifice wasn't under Heroic Sacrifice so I had to look for it myself (it was under Use Your Head). Please make sure that you give out accurate details next time.
Done to here otherwise.

Macron's notesOn Animal-Themed Superbeing, the 5 videos "Number 1", "Number 2", "Number 3", "Number 4", and "Number 5" (from Five Deadly Venoms) should all have Animal-Themed Fighting Style as a secondary trope. Each one fits more alongside this trope in fact, each video being a demonstration of a master practicing a martial art named and inspired by an animal (centipede, toad, snake, scorpion, lizard).
While I'm at it, there's several redundant videos on Five Deadly Venoms:
- The "Five Deadly Venoms [Various]" video (example of Animal Motif) is redundant with "Five Deadly Venoms" (example of Animal-Motif Team, a subtrope) and should be removed.
- There are two "Number 1" videos; the one which is an example of Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs should be removed, and Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs should be added as a secondary trope to the Animal-Themed Superbeing (along with Animal-Themed Fighting Style, as mentioned above).
- There are two "Number 4" videos; the one which is an example of Wall Crawl should be removed, and Wall Crawl should be added as a secondary trope to the Animal-Themed Superbeing (along with Animal-Themed Fighting Style, as mentioned above).
- There are two "Number 5" videos; the one which is an example of Nigh-Invulnerability should be removed, and Nigh-Invulnerability should be added as a secondary trope to the Animal-Themed Superbeing (along with Animal-Themed Fighting Style, as mentioned above).
Thanks in advance.

Again
I also edited the OP to note the need for a concrete description draft when requesting such changes.

"Kristoff's Proposal" under Tears of Joy should have Crying Critters as a secondary trope since Sven the reindeer (who is a Nearly Normal Animal) also tears up around the middle of the clip.
"Turning Red - Tears of Joy" under Tears of Joy should have Inelegant Blubbering as a secondary trope since Mei, Miriam, Tyler, Abby, and Priya have noticeable snot dripping down their noses near the middle of the scene.
"Stewie" under Inelegant Blubbering could have Nose Nuggets as a secondary trope because literal rivers of snot gush from his nose throughout the video and he even covers his own face and Brian in it when he clings to the latter.

Oh, I believe in yesterdayPlease add The Loud House S 5 E 12 Hurl Interrupted Diamonds Are For Never as a media source to the "Lynn Pukes" video on Surprisingly Realistic Outcome.
Add a title. Stay safe; stay well. Live beyond… memento vivere! Should intermittent vengeance arm again his red right hand to plague us?The video 'Casualties' on Disposing of a Body is currently without a source, it should be sourced to Protect and Survive.
On VideoExamples.FantasticFour
, "Magneto Versus a Wooden Gun" has Fantastic Four as a media source. Please change it to The Fantastic Four (1978), as the former is a disambiguation page.
"Ned's cold" in Sick Episode should have Illness Blanket as a secondary trope because the cold-ridden Ned has a blanket wrapped around him throughout the video.
"Jelly Jamm" under Art Shift should have Growing Muscles Sequence as a secondary trope, because throughout the video, Bello gets muscular very quickly.

Oh, I believe in yesterday"Sack of Port Royale" in Rape, Pillage, and Burn has a watermark.
- Volcano Sisters (Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking): Can you add The Backyardigans S 2 E 5 The Legend Of The Volcano Sisters as a media source?
- Pablo vs Uniqua Final Showdown (Showdown at High Noon): Can you add The Backyardigans S 3 E 2 Blazing Paddles as a media source?
- Tasha (Don't Look Down)/Uniqua and Tasha (Soft Water): Can you add The Backyardigans S 3 E 6 Chichen Itza Pizza as a media source?

you forgot Pablo vs Uniqua Final Showdown (Showdown at High Noon).
All three video examples currently posted The Sandman (2022) S01 E09 Collectors — for Ate His Gun, Defiant to the End, and Heel Realization — are actually scenes from the following episode, The Sandman (2022) S01 E10 Lost Hearts. Can they be moved?

There are several redundant videos on Five Deadly Venoms; they are both the same length and with pretty much the exact same description each time.
- The "Five Deadly Venoms [Various]" video (example of Animal Motif) is redundant with "Five Deadly Venoms" (example of Animal-Motif Team, a more specific subtrope) and should be removed.
- There are two "Number 1" videos; the one which is an example of Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs should be removed, and Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs should be added as a secondary trope to the Animal-Themed Superbeing video.
- There are two "Number 4" videos; the one which is an example of Wall Crawl should be removed, and Wall Crawl should be added as a secondary trope to the Animal-Themed Superbeing video.
- There are two "Number 5" videos; the one which is an example of Nigh-Invulnerability should be removed, and Nigh-Invulnerability should be added as a secondary trope to the Animal-Themed Superbeing video.
Thanks in advance.
"Red's hurt foot" under Accidental Dance Craze should have the Agony of the Feet secondary trope replaced with Hurt Foot Hop since the latter is a subtrope to Agony of the Feet and Red jumps around clutching his injured foot throughout the video.
"Ming's Heartbeat (spoilers)" under Heartbeat Soundtrack should probably have Rage Breaking Point and Berserker Tears as secondary tropes, as Ming snaps at what she sees as her daughter's disobedience while shedding tears of rage. Throughout the video, her pendant cracks as her rage builds up and it breaks into pieces just as she loses it. Ming weeps angrily around the middle of the video and still has tears going down her face as she reaches her breaking point.
Oh, I believe in yesterday"Iron Man 2008" on Barrier-Busting Blow: please add Do with Him as You Will. Iron Man throws the guy in front of a crowd and tells them "He's all yours" before flying off.
For the six videos (including that one) on VideoExamples.Iron Man ("Iron Man - "My turn"", "Iron Man - first flight", "I am Iron Man", "Iron Man vs tank", "Mark III suit-up", "Iron Man 2008"), please make the following changes where applicable:
- remove Characters.MCU Iron Man
- add Film.Iron Man 1
- remove Film.Iron Man

Pam Snaps (What the Hell, Hero?): Can you add Rage Breaking Point as secondary trope as the quote from video is the same as the example from Archer S 2 E 10 El Secuestro.
The Terminator 2: Judgment Day clip "He'll Live" for both Deliberately Non-Lethal Attack and Exact Words is the exact same. I recommend making Exact Words the secondary trope, since the video is literally about a Deliberately Non-Lethal Attack, the Exact Words being an added on joke about it.
I'll work on these videos when I have the time.
^^I'll add it but next time, please explain how to the trope applies without making us go to another page just to get context. Also, just because the example is on the page's example list doesn't necessarily mean that it's a valid example of the trope.

Macron's notesFor "Bow Chicka Bow Wow" on Catchphrase, please add the following as secondary tropes:
- Bow Chicka Wow Wow: the catchphrase in question: saying "bow chicka bow wow" to mimic porno music
- Lampshaded Double Entendre: the usual use of the catchphrase — to lampshade double entendres
- Borrowed Catchphrase: in the last few seconds, another character says the catchphrase
- Mangled Catchphrase: ...except he says it as "Hey chicka bump-bump" instead.
Also please add the following sources:
- Red Vs Blue The Blood Gulch Chronicles
- Red Vs Blue The Recollection
- Red Vs Blue S 5 E 15 Where Credit Is Due
- Red Vs Blue S 4 E 1 Familiar Surroundings
- Red Vs Blue S 8 E 1 For Those Of You Just Joining Us
- Red Vs Blue S 6 E 17 Chapter 17
- Red Vs Blue S 4 E 2 Hunting Time
- Red Vs Blue S 7 E 13 Called Up
- Red Vs Blue S 5 E 22 Repent The End Is Near
For "Old Man Kaseki" on True Craftsman, please change the description from
The dedicated Craftsman of Ishigami Village. First brought in to help make Glass Tools and after getting riled up after seeing Senku and Chrome fumble with it: shows them how crafting it is really done; despite never before having seen Glass in his life.
