Did Owah get banned? If so, what for?
^ Yes, Owah got banned for poor editing habits
. They then attempted ban evasion and got bounced. And then they tried again, and outed themself.
Determined he is; subtle he is not.
Edit: fixed some broken links.

What are you linking to in the last one? That just sends me to the standard trope finder.
You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the mid
^ Yeah, sorry, I copied the wrong thing. The links have been fixed.

Significant overlaps merit a bounce on Nickelback10.

Should we start reverting their edits, then?

^Considering they're well into serial ban evader territory, I would assume yes.
Can a mod revert their edits on Characters.Angelo Rules? Every edit after this point has been made by them, save for one very minor edit.
In general, reverting their edits is hard; they've mostly been a serial tweaker, making a lot of minor changes to pages, interspersed with edits from other tropers. Otherwise they like to add images and then change said images later, which is also difficult to just go and revert.

^That entire page has been solely edited by Owah or their socks.
So, cutlist it, then?
Yeah, I don't think we'd be losing much.
Cutlisted.

Do you think Tropers.Ninamarie 124 is another sock puppet? There is a similar naming scheme for the handle.
Doubtful, if only because they don't frequent the same pages Owah seems to be obsessed with.

Enzyjr recreated Characters.Angelo Rules, and appears to frequent many of the pages Owah did. Can I get a mod check?
There's enough overlap in the I Ps for me. They're bounced.
Sent the page to the cutlist.

It appears Owah and their socks are the only editors of this page. Should I only remove the socks' edits, or cutlist the page?
If there's nothing left on the YMMV page after cutting their examples, then it's cutlist material.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
I take that to mean Owah's edits prior to ban evasion must be removed as well?
Rawr.
I think we only undo the edits made while ban-evading, so their evasion is not rewarded with a wiki legacy. But we don't undo everything made before they started ban evading.

Aye, we generally don't undo all the edits of pre-ban evasion accounts unless they really annoyed us or if the edits themselves need removal.

Thanks for clarifying.
Rawr.
I have started a thread to revert the edits of ban evaders, especially serial ban evaders, for the record. So if someone could help me track down and revert Enzyjr's edits and bring them to the thread, that would be great.
I think Owah came back once more as Nickelback 10. Just compare
their edit histories
