Blatant Lies, else why exactly did you add back all the YMMV tropes? If they need to go to a subpage, move them there. Okay, yes, it appears that IMBoring failed to add them to the YMMV page as he claimed, but that is not justification to revert his changes to Main. I'm tempted to ban you for that. However, I copied the tropes to YMMV, removed them from the main page, and locked it. Happy?

Yes, thank you.

Reverting edits you think don't belong results in a ban? So you're not allowed to fix vandalism?

I didn't think things like Critical Research Failure were YMMV. It might be part of Cole's angle, to get the moves wrong on purpose. If it was meant to go there, I did the wrong thing, I'm sorry.

When you view an article, all YMMV tropes are displayed with a red bullet. When you edit it, the header tells you which ones need to be moved.

So, using Cole as an example, say he gets something wrong. Say it's saying someone has gold teeth when they clearly don't. Nothing open to interpretation, he Did Not Do The Research. Would this be Critical Research Failure? And if so how is such as error subjective?

I care because I'm not sure whether, to use a non Cole example, saying Shepard is played by Mark Meer when he is the voice actor and not who his looks are based on is Critical Research Failure or Didn Ot Do The Research, and why Critical Research Failure is a subjective trope.

On Cole, about the only real problem I currently have with his current character is that he is too obvious a heel. If he could mold his character a little and not present himself as some prissy little boy he could easily become the next Vince Mcmahon. He's already three quarters of the way there. Perhaps this gig as special referee might put him over completely.

But this isn't the place to write a review on Cole. If it were I would suggest a little gym work, a little hardening of the appearence, growing back the facial hair, for a serious heel run again Daniel Bryan, The King, even John Cena. Would you like me to write such a review?

....If the character is voiced by Mark Meer, Mark Meer is the actor who plays him. I think you might have a few fundamental misunderstandings about, like, everything.

I was thinking default male Shepard was based on the looks of Mark Meer, who provides the voice bur actually looks nothing like the character is portrayed, excuse me.
