Did you PM him and/or a mod over it? I'm pretty sure that trope goes both ways.

Just PM'd them. Let's see how that goes.

I can also agree that the Arch-Enemy trope can work both ways.

He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.

Update: they are not responding. Furthermore, I can't see my PM. Is this normal? Or does that mean that they deleted my PM?

Though, I sent them a PM in the form of notifier, so...is it normal to not be able to read notifiers I sent after a period of time?

Also, is it okay for me to re-add Arch-Enemy to Optimus Prime's folder?

For PMs, I think the only reason you can't see specific ones is because they were deleted by the receiver. PMs last until they're deleted, so it's not normal for one to not be able to read notifiers after a certain point.

If they're not responding, and have continued on with editing despite the messages, then we have a problem.

That said, I feel we may need a moderator to step in and answer some of these questions.

Finally, I am in agreement. Re-add the example. In the edit reason, cite and link this ATT query. This way, if they delete it again, they will be the ones Edit Warring.

FWIW, I've gone ahead and reinstated it, citing this discussion.

Alrighty. Let's hope they don't remove it a second time.
