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.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Yeah, me and rjd actually contested the deletion of a few of the subpages some weeks ago, and four of these subpages are currently sandboxed at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Sandbox/DanBrownedAndCowboyBebop
at our request, if you wish to contribute to it.
The Cracked subpage is not preserved though.
Note that Dan Browned is when the work has inaccuracies despite the work claiming to be accurate, and Cowboy BeBop at His Computer is where media make errors about works of fiction.

Neither trope is for "calling them out" for making mistakes.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
The DanBrowned.Cracked page is actually still existent. As for the point about Critical Research Failure, the pages were previously moved from Critical Research Failure to due misuse of the trope, as detailed in this thread.
I removed an example from the sandbox regarding the supposed misuse of Hype Backlash, which involves forcing this website's terminology to be adhered to off-site.

I noticed that all of the examples from Dan Browned that had their own pages barring the Trope Namer and the Nostalgia Critic's Cowboy BeBop at His Computer pages have been removed. I know that it was under the basis that it was just full of people complaining, but those pages need to stay. They probably shouldn't have been placed under Dan Browned, but most of the examples would still fall under Critical Research Failure. This is because most of the examples are things that can be looked up in under five minutes on google or can be dis-proven by going the work they are talking about. Examples for the Nostalgia Critic would include his review of The Lost World Jurrassic Park where claims that Ian Malcolm can't count because he said three people when Critic points out five died in the film total. One problem the first death was part of a prologue and well before Malcolm set foot on the island (It is even heavily implied the advance tour in the film was to calm the concerns of Hammond's investors after that death). He also counted Nedry when unlike the other deaths no one (including Malcolm) was around to confirm he was dead. Another example would be his editorial on the Princesses Rule where he includes Leia despite the fact adoptive parents were alive and at the time of A New Hope and when they died it was when Alderaan was destroyed so there was nothing for to be queen of aside from the handful of people who were not on the planet when it was destroyed. The others series andCracked are guilty of this and they are mistakes or deliberately misrepresenting the work and people have every right to call them out on it.
