Unless the show spells out the Double-Meaning Title-... er, Tagline (disqualifying it for Fridge Brilliance), that looked like a reasonable entry.

To answer your question, no, deletions without an edit reason don't mean you can put your entry back. That's still an edit war.

Well, how would we get it put back? Tabs said it looked like a valid entry. On that note, I don't recall the show's tagline coming up in dialogue. (The closest I can think of is when a bit of information is locked in the recesses of Mulder's mind and he tells Scully "The truth is in there.")

I also checked TMK's edit history and he doesn't appear to have been active all month.

We will need to form a consensus here (or the discussion page/forums) first. If many people think the example should be put back, then it'll be fine to bring it back.

I don't know the show but I don't see any issues with the original writeup for the entry.

It's a nice point about the tagline that I never noticed before, so I agree with putting it back.

I never thought about the second meaning of the tagline either, so you have my endorsement.

Finally, a show I know! Your entry was interesting, and I am a little confused by the changed version. It did add an episode title, which might be good to keep, but obviously Mulder has always been seeking "the truth." Scully wasn't interested at first, but becoming a target of unknown forces is bound to change a woman.

^ Actually, TMK seems to have replaced my initial entry with a different one. I don't know why he did that as the example was in the middle of the page and said page doesn't appear to be alphabetized.

It's been twenty-four since the last post. Has there been any further development?

You have four people saying it's a valid entry and none contesting.

I'd say so. You can add example back as long as you link this ATT in your edit so that it doesn't look like you are edit warring.

Thank you very much. It is done.
