A lot of Vocaloid entries which have two or more asterisks.

Frivolous Lawsuit has a IRL section? Oh dear. I think it'd be enough to mention that the USA is known abroad for F Ls and leave it at that. Maybe link to offsite if there is a site that collects these kinds of things.

[up][up][up]I vote we Kill It with Fire. Lots and lots of fire. And maybe some chainsaw action just for good measure.

[up][up] The Real Life section for Frivolous Lawsuit has something of an advantage in that it can list lawsuits that were actually dismissed for being frivolous. That said, I haven't actually looked at it yet. Hang on.

Edit: Yeah, it doesn't look too bad. There's room for a little cleanup, but the section as a whole looks like it can stay.

Eurovision Song Contest needs a bit of editing with "I"s and "YMMV"s scattered across the page.

Character Derailment has quite a bit of natter and justifying edits.

I apologize if I come across as being lazy, but I think the page for Mars Needs Moms should be cleaned up, preferably by someone who has actually watched said film (as of this posting, I have yet to have done so).

[up][up][up]Acceptable Nationality Targets scares me too.

A LOT.

How do you clean up a page that if 35% "Oh my God those meanies hate us!!!" and 20% "Yeah, we SHOULD hate you!" responses? I can see a reasonable response to media declaring these targets "acceptable," but I there's just so much to wade through...

Okay, question: what the hell am I supposed to do with Where the Hell Is Springfield?? It doesn't really seem like much of a trope, I'm actually going to start a TRS on it.

Is it just me, or does In Name Only need a serious cleanup, or perhaps an Example Sectionectomy? As it is right now, its tone just comes off as being unnecessarily whiny.

Yup, TRS.

Oh God, the Real Life section has politics and religion in it.

Can we please kill the Real Life examples on Critical Research Failure? There's politics and religion in there.

[up]I would say sort/clean them instead of kill the whole thing. There are News reports in there that are perfectly valid examples of it. And those are in fact the most famous and blatant of the trope.

Like

  1. In the build-up to the Iraq War in 2002, one CBC journalist claimed that "relations between Britain and France were at 'historical lows.'" Except that Britain and France have been at war with each other. Many wars, cumulating decades, even centuries. In fact, the history of Britain and France for most of their existence has been one of merrily slaughtering each other, pausing mainly to rearm. Britain and France being allies is a rather recent development.

I think it's the largest part of the page. That makes it very bad.
