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.
You are using improper spelling, improper grammar, edit warring, using fourth level bullets, and writing examples that don't fit the trope as per the way the example is written. Your edit should be removed.
As for the edit lock, that means someone else is editing the page.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick
Ah,okay, thank you for clearing that up. I didn't realize I'd made so many errors, can you point them out so that I don't repeat them or help me find a section that will clarify things for me? I'm unclear as to what a "fourth level" bullet is, for example. Also, I certainly did mean to engage in an edit war, in fact I wanted to avoid that but receive no communication from either of the other two users. Although I did redo my removed edits, there was always a significant time frame between them.
I want to a productive member of this site but perhaps I'm simply not qualified to do so, or my views are not inline with the majority of users. I think much of what is considered a Trope is subject to interpretation.Thanks for your time.
A fourth-level bullet is a four-asterisk example.
In general, even a third-level bullet should be very carefully considered. Four is crazy. See How To Write An Example.

You have a large run-on sentence lacking any punctuation. As far as spelling goes "earlist appearences" should be "earliest appearances"

I am currently making edits on the Degrassi page that are being removed by two other users. Is there some sort of process we can go through to avoid an "edit war". Such a thing is pointless and is only wasting all of our time so if there is an official resolution we can come to it would be greatly appreciated. Also I am under an "Edit Lock" meaning I have to wait 20 minutes before making an edit. Is this normal or am I being punished/reprimanded for some offense. I have tried stating my case on the Degrassi Character Discussion but it seems to have done no good. I’m not trying to make trouble or be a troll so any help/information would be greatly appreciated.
