Link to Never Bare Headed change Link to Lolicon addback

The Never Bare Headed edit reason feels pretty passive aggressive. And the fact that he states if you haven't read the fic you can't remove things seems to be missing the entire point of a clean up.

CLUNK! (he died.)

So, should I PM him about this converation and link to The Fic May Be Yours, but the Trope Page Is Ours? Not sure if I will get a civil response but I guess its something?

Yes, you should do that.

Worst case, if they aren't civil or keep up their antics they won't be able to claim ignorance later.

Well he didnt join the discussion but he just repeated that he didnt under why the tropes (Hair Decorations and Lolicon) were removed instead of switched with another trope or integrated in to the description and that basically they belonged there as they described the character. So I just explained in another PM about why the entries were cut. Basically that the tropes they were connected to werent tropes anymore and didnt fit anywhere else

I don't think he really got what I said

They were removed and not switched or replaced because that's not our job. This was just removing bad wicks, and if he wanted to add the examples back by switching it to an appropriate trope he shouldn't be complaining that nobody else did it.

Soo more feedback on this I guess?

The Never Bareheaded wick is still a ZCE so guess its ok to add alway in the entry on it. I saw that they added played for laughs on Lolicon but it still doesnt belong on any of the trope in the disambig

I would like to note that Alien Blaster is already edit warring over the Hair Decorations example at this point.

So for the sake of not getting in trouble, I would suggest either sending another PM or waiting for a mod.

I already sent another PM and was ignored. I knew they were around because they edited the Lolicon example hours after my PM back.

So I will just wait for a mod.

Requesting a lock on this query, since it appears to have been resolved. Otherwise, bumping for mod input.
