I reverted the Macekre plotholing and the Satoshi addition, citing the rules. The example they removed the "Jesus" from was a ZCE, which they correctly commented out, so not sure what to do with that.

The others I haven't looked at as of yet.

^ I mean, it was a ZCE either way and the "Jesus" was a bit crufty, but their editing reason was definitely out-of-order.

^Oh, definitely. Just noting that they did do the right thing; they just didn't go about it the right way.

I've helped with the cleanup, and also fixed some stuff on the page for UFO Baby. That page needed fixing.

Aaaand they messed up again, almost as soon as their editing privileges were restored. Here's a poorly indented entry that also refers to an earlier example...

Very nostalgic I must say. I don't think we've had these types of "weaboo-esque" edits since 2012.

Yeah, it did concern me a bit that the mods didn't really get into his indentation and context issues- this doesn't surprise me at all.

@Keshali, Bakuten Shoot Beyblade is a pretty recent weabooism.

If the indentation / context issues weren't covered during the suspension, it may be worth sending some notifiers if they haven't been already.

^^ Cut our mods some slack. They're likely have to focus on the most prominence issue with so many banned users.

^ Nah, I do understand, I just also realize now that they didn't learn anything about indentation- they just claimed to understand it and clearly don't.

But yeah, let's send a notifier first.

^^ I didnt mean to blame or condemn the mods at all. I know how overworked they are. But Weabooism is very much alive still.

I sent a notifier, and after receiving it Tropower did correct the way the entry referred to another entry. Could be, they're gonna be good from now on.

Okay, we got another issue. In this edit Tropower hid half a quote in a note for no clear reason, forgot to add a second quotation mark and the word "of," and added some natter about the episode being stupid.

Might need a talking to or something.

Sent them a notifier on that edit for natter, and asked them to come to this query so we can avoid a re-suspension so quickly. (We should have covered the other issues in the suspension more in detail, but that die's already been cast.)

Didn't we just have someone that did that 4Kids thing? Someone should check for IP overlap to see if it's a sockpuppet.
