So, I know next to nothing about RWBY and I myself have debated with Wyldchyld in the past over how examples are written and presented. However, I've had those debates in the cleanup threads where I constantly see them bringing in said examples for discussion. As far as I'm aware, they don't delete things unilaterally. If they do, that would need to be proven.

Of course, Wyldchyld and other tropers such as myself have been working on cleanup efforts on the wiki pages in addition to RWBY. Also, Wyldchyld is a "she".

From what I've seen, Wyldchyld always takes examples she's iffy about to either ATT or a cleanup thread to get feedback from others on what to do with it, so she's not unilaterally changing examples based on her own unknown standards.

I didn't know that, sorry.

I have no stake in the RWBY edits, but wasn't Wyldchild suspended, or at least brought up before for this stuff? I'm pretty sure I've seen them in Edit Banned at least once.

I also have no knowledge in RWBY edits. A quick look at her history though does show a couple of recent big deletes off of Funny/RWBY is there a dedicated clean up thread for moments?

For reference, we have a dedicated RWBY cleanup thread here and a moments cleanup thread here.

Her edit history does seem a bit suspect. It feels like practically every time someone adds an example to a RWBY-related page, she edits or deletes it a few minutes later, even if it's YMMV or the example otherwise has no glaring issues.

EDIT: I'm not a frequent browser of the cleanup threads, so ignore this if I'm wrong about anything here and her edits were approved by the threads.

I've seen Wyldchyld around in plenty of cleanup threads. I know nothing about RWBY personally, but she almost always asks for feedback before doing anything.

Guys, if there are legit examples to cite then please do. Right now the complaints come of as subjective and/or biased given Wyld's forum activity.

I also have no stakes as someone who stopped watching RWBY a long time ago.

However, just looking at the edits on the Funny page, it seems she's deleting examples if they don't specifically say something along the lines of "This is funny." Which I'm not too sure about.

I know nothing of RWBY but that's just horrible example writing. Examples shouldnt say this is awesome/funny/sad/whatever.

There is nothing in the RWBY cleanup thread about deleting huge amounts of the Moments pages. They may be asking for feedback on other things, but this was done unilaterally as far as I can tell.

Again, there is a moments cleanup thread linked above that they also frequent.

This query was hard to follow as the OP didn't start out with clear evidence + there's a lot of replies to wade through. Speaking about RWBY, Wyldchyld didn't remove the examples because she disagreed with so we can't warn her for that.

I don't think any action needs to be taken here and that this can all be discussed civilly either by P Ming Wyldchyld or discussing the cuts on the RWBY cleanup and the Moments Cleanup threads. Locking
