Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

Go To

This thread is for requesting edits or unlocks to Locked Pages or for requesting locks. It can also be used for technical requests to moderators such as:

  • creating new pages in the Main/ and other restricted namespaces without going through Trope Launch Pad
  • moving discussion pages
  • moving reviews

Please keep the following guidelines in mind:

  1. Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
  2. Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
  3. If asking for edits, state your changes exactly as they should appear on the page, including proper Example Indentation, namespacing, and pothole and quote formatting. And make sure that what you want to add is actually a valid example.
  4. We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
  5. If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here.
  6. If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
  7. To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
  8. Some locked pages have ongoing cleanup threads, like Complete Monster (Thread), Five-Man Band (Thread), and Magnificent Bastard (Thread). Other than purely technical requests, edits to these pages ought to be discussed in these threads first.
  9. Also, we do not do direct edits (other than changing wicks) to Magnificent Bastard or Complete Monster example lists. Rather, you need to do the edit to a sandbox page that follows the format Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard<Name of the example subpage> and Sandbox.Monster<Name of the example subpage> (e.g for Monster.Disney it's Sandbox.Monster Disney) and ask for it to be swapped in on Saturday for Magnificent Bastard and on Monday for Complete Monster.
  10. Inappropriate pages that keep being recreated, pages banned under The Content Policy and subpages that are disallowed (like Headscratchers pages for tropes) are valid reasons for requesting page locks.

NOTE: Edited with OP's permission.

Can you replae the example with these rewrites for Monster.Criminal Minds.

  • As one of the show's few recurring villains, George Foyet, aka The Boston Reaper, had ample time to establish his monster credentials. Disappearing after a long, unsolved killing spree, The Reaper comes out of retirement in "Ominivore" following the death of Tom Shaunessey, the lead investigator from the original case. Killing two couples, The Reaper baits the BAU into entering the case, then calls up Aaron Hotchner (for whom his original spree was That One Case), offering to stop the killings if Hotchner admits defeat and calls off the investigation—the same deal that The Reaper had cut with Shaunessey years ago. When Hotchner turns him down, The Reaper massacres an entire bus full of passengers. He later kidnaps a journalist who had written a book about him and demands the man correct the errors in it (most notably suggesting that The Reaper might have died rather than retired); when Hotchner captures him, The Reaper reveals that he's done it all in order to be "more famous than they'll ever realise." Breaking out of jail, The Reaper bides his time before ambushing Hotchner at home in season five premier "Nameless, Faceless", where he tortures him, than drops him off at the hospital, along with clues that indicate he is going after Hotchner's ex-wife, Hayley, and son, Jack. He does just that in "100", mutilating and mortally wounding the officer assigned to protect them, he tracks Hayley and Jack to their home, murders Hayley while forcing her to talk to Hotchner over the phone, and then gloats to the BAU Agent's face that after he's done with Hotchner, Jack will be next. Totally self-centred, driven by an obsessive desire for fame and control, and needing a nemesis in order to function properly, The Reaper is Aaron Hotchner's personal nightmare.
  • Clark Preston from "A Thin Line", a crooked real estate developer who hires crooks to commit crimes in neighborhoods so people will leave them and he can buy up their property dirt-cheap, not caring about who gets hurt in the slightest. One of families, the Mills', had the father and daughter killed and the mother left in a coma. He then recruits the survivor Trevor into mayoral campaign, to add fuel to his blatantly racist platform. He has him murder entire families (including a baby in one case), then kill drugged black and Hispanic people with the families gun to pin it on them.
  • J.B. Allen from "Foundation", a construction foreman who targets little boys who watched his employes at work. He abducts Angel Suarez, rapes and tortures them for years on end, and when he escapes is found with dozens of bite marks. The fact that he had to get his teeth recapped is further proof of his brutality. He then finds another victim, Billy Henderson, who he tries to murder by burying alive. He had done these things to a previous victim, and was implied to have dozens more.

Please replace the Blue Velvet entry at Film A To E with this:

  • Blue Velvet: Frank Booth, a sadistic sociopath with a penchant for random acts of rape and violence, is introduced by savagely beating and raping an abused nightclub singer and then taunting her about her mutilated husband (said mutilation was done by Frank). It later turns out that Booth kidnapped the poor woman's husband and son (killing the husband in the process) only in order to make the woman his sadomasochistic Sex Slave, even cutting off her dead husband's ear and presenting it to her, just to torment her. When he figured out that Jeffrey Beaumont warned the police, he, in an act of reprisal, beats Dorothy nearly to death, strips her naked, and leaves her in front of Beaumont's house. During the ending, we also discovered he has also brutally lobotomized one of his henchmen after having killed Dorothy's husband.

Please replace the Shawshank Redemption entries at Film P To Z with this:
  • The Shawshank Redemption
    • Warden Samuel Norton seems like a stern but affable prison bureaucrat before he reveals the true extent of his immorality and corruption. He sets up a scheme to underbid public construction projects with cheap prison labor and pockets the buy-off money from the desperate private contractors he blackmails, using Andy's financial knowledge to launder the illegal money. When a new inmate named Tommy has proof of Andy's innocence, Norton has him shot in the yard by Captain Byron T. Hadley and has the murder passed off as an escape attempt. He throws Andy in solitary confinement for a month, then threatens to destroy everything Andy has built to improve Shawshank over the past 20 years in prison and make sure that he'll be handed over to the rapists again, before giving Andy another month in isolation just to think about it.
    • Bogs Diamond is the leader of a prison gang called "The Sisters", who prey on weaker inmates to rape them again and again for as long as they like. Bogs sets his sights on Andy and together with his gang makes repeated attempts to rape and brutalize Andy over the course of several years, succeeding about half the time. When Andy tries to fight off the latest attempt, Bogs threatens to shiv Andy through the skull if he doesn't give him and his buddy oral sex. When Andy talks him out of it by playing on his ignorance, he beats Andy straight into the infirmary for a month instead.

On the locked YMMV page for Feminist Frequency, the entry for Strawman Has a Point seems to describe Anita Sarkeesian (the creator and host of the series) as a "Strawman" with valid arguments. Real people, by definition, cannot be Strawmen.

It may just be because the entry is confusingly written. It seems that it could be describing Sarkeesian's reactions to Strawman characters in other works, but it doesn't make it entirely clear what those characters' viewpoints are meant to be (it just says that Sarkeesian "has a point" in defending them).

In any case, if the editor is merely talking about arguments made by Sarkeesian on her show, that entry shouldn't be on the YMMV page at all; it should be on the main page with an "Invoked" tag.

On Double Standard Rape: Female on Male, could the following be added under Literature:

  • In Marked, Zoey accidentally comes upon Erik and Aphrodite in the hallway. Erik is very uncomfortable and repeatedly says he does not want Aphrodite to give him a blow job, while Aphrodite insists that he does in fact want her and then slashes his thigh and drinks from it—a very sexual act for vampires. However, not once is this ever even thought of as sexual assault—Zoey's problem with Aphrodite isn't that she's ignoring Erik's wishes, it's that giving blowjobs is "skanky" and "letting a guy use you".

In All Gays Are Pedophiles, please add the [[noreallife]] tag to the end of the description, as it was voted NRLEP in the RL section discussion thread.

(Yes, since it's locked it's not likely to have to worry about RL entries being added, but some times pages are unlocked.)

Amending the Tumblr proposed entry:

  • Those Wacky Nazis: An alarming number of users openly admit to being Nazis or Nazi sympathisers, or at least have a keen historic/academic interest in them. They can be found more easily by searching for ‘National Socialist/ism’ rather than ‘Nazis/m’.
They openly say they are Nazis themselves. I’m not talking about people who say ‘oh I just love my people, I’m not racist’ while posting ‘LOVE YOUR FOLK’ image macros and other Nazi memes, I’m talking about people who openly say they are Nazis (‘OP is a literal Nazi’).
