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.

Are Dr Sleep and Doctor Sleep the same troper? Asking because Dr Sleep already brought various examples to the discussion page (in January-ish) for that YMMV article. If they are the same person, then ignorance isn't exactly an excuse... They've both been active within April, so it's probably two different people, but that'd be a funny coincidence, no?

They both have edits going back as far as 2016, and both have edited pages common to DCEU, Marvel, and various animes.
Going by the issues presented here, is it possible both are socks of a previously-banned user?

, and DrSleep's history.
I have been informed earlier that they're not the same guy.
It is a... Really weird coincidence, given how often the two do collide.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
The fact that the usernames are very similar is suspicious. I'll do some IP tracing to make sure they aren't the same.
Edit: Okay, both have IPs in entirely different areas, so odds are slim that they're the same. Has anyone messaged Doctor Sleep about this issue?

I just did. In fact, I messaged both Dr. Sleeps to come here.
Normally I prefer to edit everything in bulk, so it just seemed appropriate to add a comment at the end of every entry. If it's a conflict of interest, I'll stop.
One method of adding an edit reason is to point to the discussion page (in the edit reason box) and then add your edit reason on the discussion page. If you think your edit reason is really long, you could try that. I've done that a few times, and it's led to an interesting discussion or two about the cut entries.
Using the comment-out markup like that isn't kosher (as already said above), but it could also potentially lead to newer tropers following suit, which can become a much bigger problem in itself, I think.

If you don't think an example fits, pull it to discussion with an edit reason pointing there. On the discussion page, explain why you don't think it fits.
Don't comment out full examples and add notes as to why that don't fit. We don't do that here, and people are far more likely to see the discussion page. Plus it's easier to point to the discussion page from ATT or a work's dedicated thread.

Just to reiterate, Doctor Sleep and I are not the same user, as our I Ps hopefully indicate. I understand that this is the mother of all coincidences, and it's boggling to me as well, but that's the plain and simple truth.

Doctor Sleep keeps commenting out entries he disagrees with and leaving commented out notes why he thinks they don't fit. My issue is that's unorthodox and, well, his reasoning is really weak.
I'm going to restore the examples and leave an edit reason saying "take it to discussion if you want to contest an example."
