I didn't look at the article directly, but wiki writing should always be done in present tense when discussing what happens in a story.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Doing some crosswicking of a new trope to the Gor page:
* No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: In Assassins of Gor a young chess prodigy is forced by the ruler to play a game of chess against a foolish simpleton. The prodigy at first refuses, saying it would be an insult to the Game, until he's threatened with death.
The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic page has one sentence that needs to be changed:
It's not good for that part to be future tense since the second season is out and done.
Please help out our The History Of Video Games page.In Let's Play, on Tipping Forties's Final Fantasy X-2 LP, remove the link around Kuvo, Bandunk, and Topi Kal and add LetsPlay/ to the remaining Tipping Forties link.
There is a consensus
on complete monster cleanup thread, that The Mad Doctor should be cut from Disney page. Also, remove the page image since he is the villain on it, and as I said, he is going be cut.
Another, villain on Disney that has to be axed is John Oldcastle, since he doesn't do anything heinous.

That also means axing the page quote, since it's his theme song or something similar.
Edit request for Barack Obama:
- Sure, Let's Go with That: The keystone legislation of Obama's first term, the Affordable Care Act, is popularly called "Obamacare". Obama admits that he has become fond of the term, and even used it himself while debating Mitt Romney.
I thought we were trying to remove Real Life examples on those pages, not add more.

Yep, I agree with axing the page quote.
Oh, also axe the Huntsclan as it violates "no group" rule. Keep their leader The Huntsman though. The first phrase needs a slight change however, because it says that he is the worst of them all, and if others are not mentioned, than there is no need to say that he is the worst.
And cut Warhok and Warmonga because they are loyal to each other so they don't count as complete monsters.

On the last entry of Everythings Worse With Snowclones, shouldn't Our X Are Different redirect to Our Tropes Are Different instead of Our Monsters Are Different? It seems more applicable. Also, the last sentence of that section ("This is not true for variations on the pattern that don't use the word different.") should have the word "different" in quotation marks. I hope that makes sense.
On Lolita, please change Once More With Endnotes to The Annotated Edition, and move the example to the proper location to preserve alphabetical order. (TRS just merged the two as identical, under the latter name, which frankly fits better here in any case.)
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.These examples need to be readded to Vase De Noces:
- After the End: The director has implied that the setting is this.
- The Aloner: The protagonist is the sole non-animal character in the film, and possibly the only human alive given the above interpretation.
- But You Screw One Goat: The most well-known scene in the film.
- Le Film Artistique: The film practically embodies this stereotype, from the subject matter's impenetrable weirdness to the cinematography and incredibly slow pacing.
- Mind Screw: Again, lots and lots of (ambiguously meaningful) symbolic imagery.
- Silence Is Golden: There is no dialogue.
3764: Our X Are Different is by itself a redirect to Our Monsters Are Different, even outside the locked page.
3671: Not adding real life tropes on real people.
Did the rest. Now, don't ever ask me to edit Vase De Noces again. Ew.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerPost 3757 has yet to be acknowledged, and Main.Jane Eyre needs to be changed to Literature/ on Sandbox.Blue Eyes and The Fundamentalist.
I had already done post 3757. Did
too.
There are few more C Ms that need to be axed.
On Disney we need to get rid of Warhok and Warmonga because they respect each other as partners.
On Film page, we need to cut Kevin from We Need To Talk About Kevin because he loves his mother and he even admits it in the end of the film, and the entire The Passion Of The Christ entry because Satan doesn't do anything, while the Roman soldiers violate "no group" rule.
Finally, on Western Animation, Jenner from The Secret Of NIMF, as he cares about his rat colony.

Must edit the main page for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic to get the tenses up to date considering that season 2 is over.
