Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

On Horny Devils, "Live-Action" and "Ardat-Yakshi" should be hyphenated.

On Characters.The Bible, both potholes to Captain Obvious should be removed, please — they are misuse.

Done to here.

Please remove the Strider Hiryu examples from Woobie.Anime And Manga and add the Strider page to the subpage list.

Please make Strider Hiryu italic on Woobie.Strider.

Please remove Neo and Mercury from the Woobie.RWBY since they don't qualify as Jerkass Woobies as decided in the Woobie Cleanup forum.

Please change the spoiler warning on Weight of the World from Warning: Spoilers from Weight of the World and The Shattered Soul are unmarked. Read at your own risk. to Warning: Spoilers from the entire series are unmarked. Read at your own risk.

I suggest that we lock Divided States of America. It allows Real Life examples, but only if you observe the ROCEJ, and I have a feeling an unwitting troper (or unscrupulous troll) might add example(s) that cause Flame Wars.

A few slight rewrites for Film A To C:

• Cabiria: Karthalo is one of the earliest examples of a film CM, and still one of the vilest. The High Priest of the devilish, three-eyed Moloch, Karthalo engineers the mass sacrifice of hundreds of children at a time to be stripped naked and dumped one-by-one into a furnace to be burned alive as tribute to Moloch. Karthalo coldly tortures and murders any opposition to the sacrifice, having Croessa, the nanny of the young Cabiria, painfully flogged and later ripped apart by his followers, and later brutally torturing the good-hearted servant Maciste before chaining him to a millstone and condemning him to grueling labor at the millstone's side for the rest of his life. In his lowest moment, Karthalo attempts to rape Cabiria, the same girl he had attempted to sacrifice over ten years ago, out of nothing more than a fit of cruel lust. A zealot, a slaver, a torturer, and a madman with countless atrocities on his hands, Karthalo's evil shines just as wickedly today as it did over a century ago.
• The Cry of the Children: The unnamed mill owner profits on the suffering of those he forces to work for poverty-level wages in his brutal textile mill while he and his wife lavish, exploiting in particular brutal child labor and working all of his employees to the point of starvation and disease. When his workers go on strike, the mill owner waits them out until they've been starved to a point where they're forced to return to work, and, after failing to convince the family of one child to hand him over their child Alice for his wife's pleasure, sees her worked to death in his factory. An early example of a film CM, the mill owner was and is a poignant reminder of the very real evils of child labor.

Now, A-C for the films is fine, but here are the new pages for the others; please lock these and add them to the index at Film; please also have D-I; J-Q; R-Z redirect to the main film page.

• D to G
• H to L
• M to R
• S to Z

Since S-Z is currently a redirect, please use the content at Film Monster SZ and then cutlist the Sandbox.

For the header at The Punisher, please change it to Film M To R.

For the headers at Spider-Man and X-Men, please use Film S To Z.

Pokémon Sword and Shield:

• Cut The Bus Came Back (misuse, it's being used for game mechanics rather than characters)
• On the Mythology Gag example, change "the date of both the release of" to "the release date of both" to make it flow better

Add to intro section of Pokémon Sword and Shield page:

• The game introduces new type of Pokémon transformation called Dynamax, which allows any Pokémon to temporarily grow to giant size, becoming more powerful and gaining new moves. In addition, some wild Pokémon can be encountered in permanent Dynamax state and fought in a Max Raid Battle with up to 4 players.

To the trope section:

• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: With Dynamax, even normally tiny Pokémon like unevolved starters can grow to the size of a building.
• Co-Op Multiplayer: Max Raid Battles can be fought in a group of up to 4 players, connected either via local communication or through Internet.
• Fairy Companion: Similarily to Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player character is accompanied by Rotom living in their phone, which doubles as a Pokédex.
• Hour of Power: Dynamax transformation available for players lasts only three turns and can be used just once per battle.

SwSh now has a sandbox for this sort of thing.

At Arrowverse, please cut Vandal Savage and replace the quote with this:

Please then remove that quote from Complete Monster (Live-Action TV).

At The Bible

"Our Gods Are Different: Jews, Christians, and Muslims have three different ideas. Long story short, Jews believe in one God who favors them above all others; Christians believe in one God who is also three (except the extinct Arian sect) but does not favor any particular ethnic group; and Muslims believe in one God who plays no ethnic favorites"

The part about Jews believing God favors them above all others is not entirely accurate. As Jews, we believe we have a special responsibility to set a good example for everyone else. The "Chosen People" thing has less to do with G-d playing favorites, and more to do with a self-perceived responsibility on the part of the Jewish people. I would argue that this entry is contentious at best, and flame bait at worst.

At JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, for the quote, please pothole Dio Brando to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: DIO

Same page as under Terence T. D'Arby's entry.

Grammar fixes:

~FridgeGuy2016, might as in - hasn't happened yet?

~bwburke94, looks like the first one there is about characters, so left it in there.

~SkyCat32, do you have a suggestion for an alternative? Or is your suggestion complete removal of full quoted section?

Done to here.

Please add the spoiler warning at Sherlock Holmes to Music.

Done.

Administrivia.Namespace has a wick to Wiki Words that needs to be moved in preparation for cutting the redirect.

Sorry, nombretomado. I cannot think of a replacement.

Add to Pokémon Sword and Shield:

• Wide-Open Sandbox: While towns, cities, secluded and indoor areas are traversed traditionally with fixed camera angles following you, the new "Wild Areas" which replace linear Routes are massive landscapes found between cities and towns featuring free-wandering Pokémon and a fully-rotatable camera.

That might fit the "open world" aspect of Wide-Open Sandbox, but it doesn't explain how it fits the "sandbox gameplay" aspect, and both are required to count for the trope.

Done.

Also, you need to cite your source, since the work hasn't come out yet. See Creating a Work Page for an Upcoming Work.

Edited by nombretomado on Jun 5th 2019 at 7:58:19 AM

On Creator.Vic Mignogna, remove the paragraph beginning "On January 2019..." [sic]. His being fired from the roles listed in said paragraph is speculative. As such, the alleged incidents cannot be said to have impacted his career or roles, making it irrelevant for the purposes of our wiki.

Since this is stepping into a ROCEJ shitstorm, I have to specify: Yes, I'm being serious.

At Other Media, please add the spoilers off warning; add foldercontrol; and replace the entries with the entries at CM Pothole Removals.

How about this for Pokémon Sword and Shield:

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: As seen in the June 5th Pokémon Direct, with Dynamax, even normally tiny Pokémon like unevolved starters can grow to the size of a building.

This one trope in particular stands out in how much Game Freak pushed it, so I hope at least that can be placed.
