Just because they got banned from the site does not mean all their edits are reverted on principle if they weren't made by sockpuppets. If these entries are true and otherwise acceptable (and since you mention they were edited or corrected further, they probably are), they should be kept, maybe expanded if they lack context.

If they're true, then what Piterpicher said.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.The Amanda Show one is more Suspiciously Similar Song as it's not intentional, and I think some of the others on Real Song Theme Tune may be misuse as the songs were written for the show (as they're sung by the show's lead actors), but also separately released after the fact.
Some of this appears complainy though mostly the WMG entry (which should be removed because it doesn’t even seem like it's guessing anything), and they seem to misunderstand that a theme song sung by a member of the cast is still...a theme song. Sam and Cat's theme song also sounds like a regular song out of context.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Oh, didn’t know that, but is it the exact same tune or just a very similar one? I remember listening to them back to back and of course picking up the resemblance but can't recall if it's beat for beat.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.But if these are true (and the fact they were kept for so long adds to the possibility), they should be kept. After all, not all of their edits have to be false information or reverted on principle. Also, no idea why it should be highlighted it's apparently this specific user with that name.
Edited by Piterpicher Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods Of Incremental)Uh, from what I can tell only one of them seems to be true- the last one. The others contain some nuggets of falsehood.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallWell, if you say so (you indeed watch those shows more than I used to). Still, if these are just "nuggets" of falsehood, try to reword the entries and remove the false parts if the entry can be otherwise true.
Edited by Piterpicher Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods Of Incremental)The main falsehood is that I'm pretty sure most of these aren't Real Song Theme Tune, as the song either did not exist prior to the show and was recorded specifically to be a theme song, or the repurposed song was not popular in the mainstream anyway (i.e. the Spyro example). They also seem to confuse it with Suspiciously Similar Song as I'm 100% sure "American Idiot" does not provide the theme song for Ned's Declassified - and even then they barely sound alike! (Did they confuse it with the other famous Scott Fellows project, Johnny Test?)
More close looks: "iRock with Drake Parker" is not a real episode and Avril Lavigne did not work on Drake and Josh or iCarly (barring one of those compilation albums the latter did). There is also no Drake & Josh / Zoey 101 / Unfabulous crossover I can find any information about.
Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.I'm not even sure if the hurricane crossover existed. Drake and Josh had the storm episode, but I don't remember the other shows having one.
Ninja'd by Mew.
Edited by WarJay77 Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallAlso, the iCarly entry seems slightly incorrect because I'm pretty sure the theme song was around by episode 2, not episode 9. The other entry about Avril Lavigne is a straight-up lie.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.I don't remember anyone but Miranda singing it, but I could just be misremembering.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallMiranda was always the main vocalist.
Drake Bell is featured in the longer version but no Avril.
Real Song Theme Tune is misuse, since all those songs sans "Just Fine" were written for the show, not preexisting songs recycled for those kidcoms. They can fit under Theme Tune Extended, as longer/full versions were released later on, though.
The crossover episode thing is false. Those shows never crossed over, much less in the same exact manner as Family Guy, The Cleveland Show, and American Dad. Avril is also a lie. That WMG is... well, it's based on a flawed premise, but I honestly don't know what the rules regarding bad theories is? "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune is accurate; no issues there.
Edited by RacattackForce^ "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune is slightly inaccurate as it suggests iCarly only had Cosgrove sing the theme song from episode 9 when she's always sung it. I think the entry about Nickelodeon could be split into separate entries, or at least give more detail as to who plays which character.
As for "Just Fine" I can only find it discussed in the context of the Sam and Cat theme, so IDK if that's Real Song Theme Tune either.
Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Ah, right. Missed that bit in the "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune entry, but yeah, that weird note should be removed. I don't the entry needs to be split considering that it notes a trend in the network's productions. I think just adding more detail on character roles would be enough to make things more clear.
As for "Just Fine", I decided to look a bit more into the singer and it turns out that it's the band of the show's composer. So you're probably right that it's not a Real Song Theme Tune, since the composer might have written it just for the show; can't find anything on him releasing the song outside of Sam and Cat either.
From my point of view:
- Of course, none of the Real Song Theme Tune entries make sense; The Amanda Show's theme is more of a Suspiciously Similar Song, and the rest barring Unfabulous and Sam & Cat are indeed Do It Yourself Theme Tunes.
- Speaking of Unfabulous, it definitely did NOT use the same theme song as My Babysitter's a Vampire, which may or may not have been sung by Nerf Herder.
- mightymewtron is right — Drake & Josh definitely did not have a crossover with Zoey 101 nor Unfabulous, the closest being a brief cameo by Addie Singer from the latter show in the episode "Honor Council".
- I also agree with both Mew and Racattack Force about the iCarly and Sam & Cat themes — the former has always been the same AND a "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune right from the start, and the latter being merely written just for the show.
- Finally, the Sam & Cat WMG was just a nonsense, piss-poor idea.
Just swept through most of the inaccurate edits, barring the My Babysitter's a Vampire one about which I'm unsure. The Zoey 101 entry is the only one that's actually 100% correct, though referring to the actress by a first name basis is a bit odd.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Decided to just go ahead and check out episodes from both seasons of My Babysitter's a Vampire and... yeah, that one is completely inaccurate as well. Unless there's a single one-off episode where Vanessa Morgan does the song, then Hathaway Brown is only one who performs the theme song for the show's entire run. No idea why they even mention Unfabulous; that's completely wrong as well.
^^ But like I said, the Zoey 101 theme doesn't look like a Real Song Theme Tune, right?
^ Yeah, as far as I know, it wasn't a preexisting song, so it isn't a Real Song Theme Tune. I went ahead and got rid of that entry over on the Zoey 101 page and removed the My Babysitter is a Vampire example on the "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune page.
All that's left now is the "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune entry on Nickelodeon shows, which might need to be reworded.
I think since all the inaccurate information is resolved, we're good here. The "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune entry just needs mild tweaking to not sound like every Nick show does that, because that's not true at all.
EDIT: And I just tweaked that entry. Anything else left?

This user got bounced from TV Tropes back in 2013 for adding false information. His edits can be found here
, but, strangely, the ones below (albeit since edited/corrected by others) are still lingering on this site.

Sam & Cat is the first Nick show to use an actual song as its theme song since 2007.
Until 2007, Nickelodeon used a lot of hit songs for its sitcoms, such as Simple Plan's "I Found a Way", (Drake & Josh), Nerf Herder's "Girl Next Door" (Unfabulous), JoJo's "Follow Me" (Zoey 101), and Green Day's "American Idiot" (Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide)."Do It Yourself" Theme Tune

- Real Song Theme Tune: Jamie Lynn sings the theme song, titled "Follow Me".
