Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
I've seen this too. I guess it's commendable to create so many pages, but most of the pages she creates are just stubs in terms of descriptions ("[name here] is an actor/actress known for [two or three notable works]") and they never have an image.
"I like girls, but now, it's about justice."
I mean, at some point we need to put quality over quantity. These pages aren't good if they're just being churned out without real effort.

I mean, a page without an image isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the obvious lack of effort put in the creation of these pages is concerning.

I sent them a PM telling them about this thread.
Sorry about that, I keep checking the pages and I usually don't see the images, thanks for letting me know.
I will do better in the future.
It's not just about the lack of images; they all seem pretty rushed.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
I promise to take more time with the pages in the future and I will make sure not to rush anything when I create a page.
It's cool, also try not to make them entirely copy/paste from Wikipedia. I'm going through some of the pages and I can tell it's been taken from Wikipedia.

You can also just put images yourself. Churning out pages and leaving them on Pages Needing Images makes it look like you’re expecting others to spruce them up.

Let me put on my mod hat and state that plagiarism is absolutely not tolerated. Which pages are we talking about?

^I just corrected Erika Alexander, a cursory click-through shows Lisa Nicole Carson and Wilson Cruz have been lifted from Wikipedia with minimal editing. Clicking through others like (Michael Michele), some still have the wording but have been changed enough.
Almost all the Filmography lists are lifted from Wikipedia; I usually see with Creator pages her that just the significant work is listed but with those pages, but with her pages everything the actor has done is there and they're lifted from Wikipedia with just some format changes.

Adding to this thread to note that the filmographies, if they are copied from Wikipedia, are often done poorly, with the films not matching the characters. Just in the last few days, I've seen entries on Creator.David Paymer identifying his character in Quiz Show as Leo Devoe (his character in Get Shorty; he played Dan Enright in Quiz Show) and on Creator.Tom Hulce identifying his character in Animal House as Artie Shoemaker (his character in Those Lips, Those Eyes; he played Larry Kroger AKA Pinto in Animal House). I have to imagine these examples aren't unique.

Their newest page for Lisa Vidal is much improved. The Filmography looks cut and paste at first glance, but I won’t throw accusations since there’s been editing.
Might want to tap Tropers.Dinogal 95 on the shoulder, they have been creating a lot of Creator pages which isn't bad, but they all have no images added. Took at the history and Administrivia.Pages Needing Images and quite a lot of the pages they made are there.
