Here's the edit history in question.

the Adorkable entry on the Arrowverse character page at least has become an edit war. Potentially involving multiple parties.

^^ You've already contributed to the Edit War, I think.

Also, you should put a link to the problem entry in your post as well. That would help a lot.

Here's the history for the page: Here.

Also, if I did wrong in putting the examples back I’m cool with that, I just wanted to stop going back and forth. I’m fairly certain it’s just me and them, though I didn’t write the example.

Even as a fellow "anti-shipper", I despise how far the hate has come. Just because you don't like a ship doesn't mean you should vandalize character entries.

Update: they still haven’t replied yet.

I don’t have a problem with shipping outside of the ridiculous behaviour it inspires. Also, it makes the page look messy.

I'm suspending the other troper. However, the Adorkable entry as presented on that page lacks context and should stay removed. Since you correctly reported the issue here, I'm not issuing a suspension for you, arctichigh, but please do not re-add the example.

What do you mean by lacks context? It wasn’t my entry but should I try to find another example from the show or leave it altogether?

I’ll re-add the other example as well if that’s alright.

And thank you everyone for being so patient. I didn’t want to cause more problems but I was aware that I was close to doing so anyway.

Every example should have enough context that it's easy to understand why that trope applies to that event, without the reader having to go anywhere else.

Edit warring: add-delete-add, delete-add-delete. The third step makes the edit war. It's normally a suspending offense, so be careful in the future.

Arctichigh: If you want more information about what is considered "Not enough context," you can read the page Administrivia.Zero Context Example.

Also, there's something strange about your apostrophes - at least on my computer, words such as "I'll" are displayed as a complete mess. Please make sure that you use a plain, straight, apostrophe and not the "smart quotes" characters or acute accent.

Thanks for the clarification. And the apostrophes are apparently the curse of the iPhone, since they display fine on my laptop.

Seriously? (As in, this is a serious suggestion.) I have an iPhone, and pressing too long on a key can kick up a text balloon with alternate forms for that key. Leaning on the apostrophe gets me a total of four. ' ’ ‘

But wiki formatting and iPhone formatting don't always like to play nice where the weirder stuff is involved.
