It's an Edit War, but Tropers.Eh What Can You Do removed it previously without a reason, Tropers.Mr Death removed it again with an invalid edit reason, and Tropers.Rivaled removed it for another invalid reason.

Think all four of them need to be brought in? And is there any overlap between any of these users?

Well, there is a bit of a debate going in the edit reasons, too.

That trope has been added to the page 4 times total, after it was deleted 3 times. That's Edit War.

Edit: Tropers.Eh What Can You Do may get off because he deleted it first, before it was readded, but he may need a PM.

I don't think the three removing tropers need calling in. They do need PM's about proper edit reasons. (And maybe checking the history, since that might've helped the latter two realize what was going on sooner.)

Shatterstar definitely needs a tap on the shoulder.

I'll call in shatterstar, and compare IP with the removers. If there's no correlation IP-wise, they'll be messaged.

Edit: The removing users are too far apart location-wise to be one person. Messaging them.
