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

The tumblr link you posted doesn't work. It requires me to log in, and I don't have a tumblr profile.
Thanks for the heads-up. I've edited in a new, better link.
I'm confused as to how the example is suppose to be unintentional. That seems pretty intentional to me.
Yeah, that's another good point. It's far from clear that America's meant to be innocent in this.
I mean its pretty straightforward, if its factually incorrect it is invalid for inclusion and removed. Yes?
That's what I thought, too, but I felt more comfortable having an ATT discussion to point at. Any disagreement?
No. Cutting now.
Thanks, mate.
I'd argue that Gabby's intentions were to paint America in a positive light and in that regard failed, even retroactively considering other writers (Al Ewing in Jane Foster Valkyrie) do have Lisa point out how bad that break-up was.
Furthermore, even in that page that was linked, Lisa's own dialogue is that she's not leaving NYC — she's not transferring to this fictional hospital, named after a gay activist, located who knows where, but clearly not in NYC where Lisa resides and works at. The rest of the page continues with Lisa specifically mentioningd the move, the journey and so on, and that she's not taking it... There is travel involved, it's not hard to read between the lines.

There’s a Unintentionally Unsympathetic cleanup
. That may be the place to take this debate.
EDITED: Link should work now.
A while back, I removed an Unintentionally Unsympathetic entry from America Chavez since it made a false claim and had poor indentation and natter. Somebody else has now added it back.
To be precise, it made this false claim: "America asks Lisa to uproot her life so they can move in together somewhere else as part of America's new college life. When Lisa says she can't, America breaks up with her, kicks one of her trademark PORTALS open and walks away. In other words, a character that can teleport across half the universe, and dimensions, in an instant, calls off a relationship because her girlfriend doesn't want to move, and given her powers, shouldn't have to."
This isn't true, though—Lisa never actually says that having a long-distance relationship is the reason she doesn't want to stay together with America. (The issue, issue #1, is very vague about the reason, but it seems as if she's just not interested in the plan they made.)
Furthermore, another entry says that it's hinted in issue #5 that America cheated on Lisa with America's friend Magdalene. That's not hinted at all—it's just mentioned that America and Magdalene used to be mostly friends (but a bit of something moooore, ohoho). No mention of America being together with Lisa at the time; that's pure speculation.
So far, nobody's started an editing war about this, but if I were to make another edit in the series then I would be edit warring. Therefore, I ask for other people's opinion about the matter. Is it okay for me to remove it again, since it doesn't accurately represent the events in the comic?
(Here's a link
to the relevant page, BTW.)
