Good grief, what a mess.

Who are the people in the pictures that they use too? Are they actors or are they unrelated people pulled from online?

Both Hopeless Pages are stubs, although the literature one could be kept if tropes were moved from the character page to the main page... although none of that appears to be actually written down in the work.

This does look a lot like self-promotion for the writer's works, and the fact that it delves into details that don't seem to be publicly posted anywhere makes it very likely that it's the author self-promoting. Now... that's not actually a problem, iirc, as they haven't made anything other than objective pages.

^ I mean, they might be random ass people, but it also might just be the real "art" used for the stories on wattpad -shrug-

They had two stub notifiers for two Characters.Life Of Adolescence subpages on March 30th but they make more stubs despite that. So, I am going to issue a suspension for that + sloppy editing practices that are too bad for notifiers to fix alone.

Image search shows some are random actors, and one seems to be a High School Musical screenshot. In fact crosswicks link to Creator/ pages. At least one of the images seems to be art from the fic.

Are the pages and trope wicks cutworthy then? The fics seem to be kind of unverifiable.

The pages are stubs anyways so they can be cut for that alone. There seems to be reasonable doubt regarding the fics so we can probably cut the wicks as well.

Wait, forgot about Totally High. But I guess the same goes for that one

Their one wick for Sierra High seems to be their own OC in someone else's roleplay, so I'll remove that as well, thought worth mentioning.

I fixed a few things on the Totally High page. The link to the fic was a dead one because text in the URL was bolded and that apparently doesn't play well with copy-pasting here. I also removed the advertising-ish stuff.

Okay, the wattpad fics are cutlisted and wicks to those are removed. At least it's not 100% of their edits. If there's a misunderstanding they can talk it out.

Yeah, I'm aware that the page is not that good, but I thought that it was salvageable to the point where it might be able to stay.

Now that I'm actually looking through the entire thing, that may be up for debate.

Yeah, that page is still a massive mess of bad formatting and stuff...
