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.

That said, this does smack of an agenda.
They've also been regularly serial tweaking UsefulNotes.Black Lives Matter Movement, mostly with the paragraph related to the Trump administration. They were pinged to the ROCEJ thread to discuss the matter
but never showed up.
^Not showing up to that thread when pinged is arguably more (or at least as) troubling than the edits themselves, honestly. This site can't function without communication.
Sent a pm with a link to this ATT.
They have not addressed the ATT. What is the next course of action?

^ Wait on a moderator to address the matter if nothing else reasonable can be done.
I edited Landslide Election to show how Brexit debate overshadowed Corbyn's agenda. He didn't lose because of his Socialist views. I can revert the edit on Blair on Overshadowed by the Controversy.
^ Ah, OK. I think you can revert the Blair edit. Seems I misunderstood the Corbyn bit too. Though the other tropers here asked you about the BLM edits—you might want to respond to them about it.
I think that due to the sheer number of ROCEJ violations, real life troping, and a near complete lack of fictional appearances, the Boris Johnson page is pretty much unsalvageable. I think it would be better to start over.

^ What do you mean by "start over"? Cut? Rewrite?
^^ Or just get rid of it completely. There's also the other wiki out there. Not sure why we need the page to begin with.
We cut the page on Fauci recently. We can cut this one too.
I mean I'm definitely open to cutting Boris Johnson's page, I agree that it has little-to-no value.
I think I'll just bring Boris Johnson to the Real Life people cleanup thread.
Why is there a page on Boris Johnson here? Is he such an everpresent figure in media that it serves some purpose to have a page? Cut the page in its entirety, we lose nothing since the site's focus is supposed to be tropes in media, the other wiki exists for people who want such info (not to mention they are set up to require sourcing and bias controls). Leaving it just attracts edit warring and flame wars.
I mean, I think it would be better to cut the page, make a sandbox of his useful notes page with only relevant information and media appearances, and swap in the sandbox when it is complete.
v Why do we have useful notes pages on people portrayed in the media, if not to get ideas for how to portray them in fiction using what information we have on them and their fictional portrayals? That said, if there are not enough fictional portrayals of Johnson, the page can be cut.

But what purpose does having a useful notes page on Boris Johnson serve? This is TV Tropes, not Collection of Random Pages on People and Things.
^^ Is he commonly portrayed in the media though? That's the issue at hand here.
^ Exactly, he's not Winston Churchill or Benjamin Disraeli ... he's not even at Margaret Thatcher level of pop culture saturation. Are there even three well known portrayals of him in media today?
Add that to the fact that as a current, and controversial, PM, it's just a magnet for partisan flame wars back and forth.
Right. Sending the page to the cutlist now.
1) This query is not for discussing UN pages of politicians. 2) Such a question is covered by the ROCEJ thread on the forums. 3) As the purpose of this query has been fulfilled by friendly troper conversation, no moderator action is necessary at this time, so I'm locking it.
Troper making potentially agenda-biased edits
patriciovalencia117 has been making several potentially political agenda-based edits on pages. For example:
And I'm sure there are more. Should we do something here?
