Aye. I would agree that the misinformation should be reverted. I've reverted some of it regarding Randall and Waternoose.

And now Anthony A's doing the same thing on the character page. I would also like a request to revert their edits there even though I did reverse all of their other edits on the main page.

Have they been messaged over this?

I don't think so. The account was created just yesterday.

I have just sent them a message. Included in it is a link to this query. Hopefully, he joins the discussion and we can sort this all out.

Also just discovered he changed the contractions from a Once Upon a Time entry on Big Bad Wannabe. Is that going to be a problem?

I reverted the change on Big Bad Wannabe; if they change it back, it'll constitute an Edit War.

I've also fixed up the misinformation on the character page.

Anthony A realized new alterations in the Monster Inc pages in question and similar alterations in Animated Films, Big Bad Duumvirate and Western Animation.

Would this mean they're in Edit War territory?

In BigBad.Animated Films at least, he is. He changed Big Bad Duumverate and changed it to Randall only. He also removed context on several entries like Puss in Boots, Over the Hedge, and Ratatouille.

Calling them in.

Could the mods please revert AnthonyA's edits to BigBad.Animated Films, Big Bad Duumvirate, and TheDragon.Western Animation? The edits they've made are too extensive to revert manually; as well as this insistence that Randall is the main villain of Monsters Inc., they've also gutted several entries of their context and made a number of needless grammar and syntax changes, such as removing all contractions from multiple entries.

They've done this on other pages as well, but few of them are quite as extensive as the above named. (And I don't know if this is a symptom, so to speak, of bowdlerisation, but they changed the name of the head weasel in Who Framed Roger Rabbit from Smart Ass to Smart Guy - even though that's not his name - on TheDragon.Film.)

EDITED TO ADD: When the offending editor shows up in the Edit Banned thread, the mods might also want to bring up their deletion and accompanying edit reason on ManipulativeBastard.Western Animation on 18 November.

Those three have been reverted.
