I'd re-delete the list and send Tompa Dompa a unilateral changes notifier
Macron's notes
Does this technically count as an edit war?
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Looks as though Walkinshadows has re-deleted the list (with a link to this ATT thread); no idea if a notifier has been sent, though. Walkinshadows, if you're reading, did you send TompaDompa a "unilateral changes" notifier?
^I checked and they did send one.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
^^^ Probably but I think since a notifier was sent we can settle for that unless they decide to reinstate the list again.
Macron's notes
They keep sending me DMs whining about the removal.
Back in January, there was an ATT thread that moved to delete the list of films on Literature.One Thousand And One Movies You Must See Before You Die for potential copyright infringement, with Tabs actually deleting the list (courtesy link to page history
). jamespolk made a null edit protesting the decision in the edit reason and arguing that it constituted fair use, but only went as far as expressing a hope that the list might be restored some day (and copy/pasting the list to their Troper Wall/ page).
Well, last week, editor TompaDompa
(whose troper page identifies them as the original creator of the page)note decided to restore the list with the edit reason "Agree with the previous editor. Should be no more of a problem than listing the Academy Award winners and nominees, which we also do (though the show itself is obviously copyrighted)." As near as I can tell, this was not discussed anywhere (the Discussion page is empty, and I can't find anything in either ATT or the forums).
Should the list be re-deleted? And if so, is there a suitable notifier to send TompaDompa?
