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.

The two tropers in question as well as a mod have already taken the example to the discussion page. If people want to chime in, I would suggest going there.

It is mostly two people arguing back-and-forth, feel free to add more voices.

After taking it to discussion yesterday, both Chris Valentine and Edward Davies have continued to Edit War over Designated Villain today.

^^ Okay. That might be a problem. Do we need to lock the page just because of Designated Villain?

I have not seen this movie yet, BTW.

Edit: Okay, I'm looking at the conversation AND the history page, and I think NOW we are in trouble. First, Edward Davies's Alternate Character Interpretation of Gaston included a Complete Monster Pothole before that was removed, and the Designated Villain has been officially Edit Warred over.

And is the Chris 116 account the same as Chris Valentine?

Both editors suspended. No indication so far that Chris 116 has anything to do with Chris Valentine.

Hi there, one of the parties involved here. Chris 116 is not me, I think he actually was agreeing with Edward Davies on this one (since I'm presently suspended, I can't say for sure).

Anyway, I'm very open to suggestions on how to come to an agreement on this discussion.

Not a mod, but both you and Edward need to step away from this discussion for a bit, at least until your suspensions have been looked at by the mods. The example was added and deleted so many times that I lost count. Let some more people look at it and we might be able to come to a consensus.

(Also, I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to be posting here when you're suspended, but I'm not 100% certain of that)

^I believe you're actually supposed to discuss your suspension on the Edit Banned/Suspended thread only; as long as you're not discussing your suspension, I think you can go elsewhere and talk about other stuff.

Can a mod chime in?

I'll wait my turn on the suspension thread, to be safe. I figured if I could post here, systematically, then it must be allowed. See you guys then, I hope!

It used to be you couldn't post or even see ATT when you were wiki suspended. That was changed.

Still can't ask for edits from others, though.

I can appreciate mentioning the suspension to explain why you can't see/edit X page, but you can only appeal it in the EBS thread. Just mind your manners and turn over that new leaf, and you should be good.

(Just don't get suspended again. That's not good.)

Ok, not suspended. Just wanted to clarify that I wasn't looking to discuss the suspension itself here, or to get anyone to make edits while this situation was being reviewed. I just found this thread (ironically, after one of the mods directed me to Ask the Tropers after being suspended) and saw that there was a question about some possible sock-puppetry going on, and wanted to clarify that.

Anyway, I'd really appreciate anyone making suggestions for the topic, I'm very open to ideas.
