Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
And what's the question? If you have an issue with the complaint, you can just reply to it.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupIt was me; a lot of the examples were removed under the assertion that they "seem like genuine distinction and not Distinction Without a Difference", which is a rather weak reasoning that in many cases doesn't actually disqualify them as examples.
The terms used doesn't have to be literally synonymous/interchangeable, but that "have the same practical meaning, given the circumstances." Which means that examples of, say, a character claiming to be simply "retreating" instead of "running away" should not be removed since in context they do mean the same thing.
And since you weren't fully sure whether or not they were examples, you should have waited for more input before removing them.

Edited by AdeptThere is an etiquette that if you've decided to ask, to seek an answer, as a lack thereof doesn't equal approval. Try bumping the post, and I'd also recommend moving comments to a new line for readability.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup

I received a complaint about my edits to DistinctionWithoutADifference.Fan Works from a mod. I brought up why I felt the examples needed to be cut and when no one replied I concluded that providing an explanation for each example was enough.
