OK yeah that's bad. I'd summon them, but I don't want this to turn into a political argument (which it probably will if they are.) Also your post is hardly a Wall of Text, I've seen 4,000-word long Walls of Text on this wiki.

Either way, requesting mod intervention here.

They're suspended; revert what needs to be reverted.

It seems to me Mr-Husk is being treated poorly due to having opinions that do not align with the majority of users. They should be able to express them, but as long as they are not aggressive about it.

^ He was suspended because politics needs to be discussed neutrally on the wiki, if it can even be discussed at all. We are not a political debate site.

He is able to express his views. On the forums. But not on the wiki proper. The wiki isn't here for people to express their political opinions, regardless of what those opinions are.

He was also shoehorning in political opinions at the expense of being a good editor, i.e. adding misuse, misdefining tropes to fit his own bias, and edit warring. Those can get you in trouble no matter what your opinion is.

Since climate change is an objective fact does denying it also count as willingly posting wrong information?

^ I think the "debate" around climate change is far out of the scope of this wiki, to the point where any mention should just be nuked. We describe and catalog tropes as they occur in various works of fiction, only occasionally noting how real life sometimes bears a resemblance.

What the suspended troper did was add an entirely extraneous entry about Carbon Dioxide on Accentuate the Negative. Even if they'd been pushing for radical emissions reductions and a heavy green tax it still would have been wildly inappropriate for this website.
