Yuugame's entry about the Memory World arc doesn't really seem that wall-banger-y, and it's also inaccurate—Ryo wasn't allowed in the Memory World in the manga, so he wasn't replaced by Kaiba, and we don't get a sense of what the Thief King is like in the anime because he's immediately possessed.

Trivia tropes are "fun facts that are not really storytelling tropes".
Is it possible to get away with putting Trivia tropes on the main page for companies (like with the pages for Funimation, Sentai Filmworks, and Media Blasters, all of which have at least one trivia trope on their main pages)?

Yu Gi Oh First Anime Series Ep 12 The Extremely Lucky Enemy The Invincible Legend
This recap page has a very long episode title/name and won't let me edit or save it even though I have, twice.
I tried to move data from its previous version, which didn't list the episode number... Yu Gi Oh First Anime Series The Extremely Lucky Enemy The Invincible Legend
But it didn't work even though the edit page appeared.

Ryo Bakura is kind of misleading since it seems to be a page for Abridged!Yami Bakura.

Is there a formal procedure of adding something to Sliding Scale Of Anime Obscurity's "Series Requesting Placement" folder"?

I'm pondering about which title is the correct one for the page that is currently under Anime.Arrietty.
The original Japanese title is Kari-gurashi no Arietti. The page presents The Borrower Arrietty as a direct translation, and points out that Arrietty is the title for the UK and Australian distribution, and The Secret World of Arrietty the title for the US (which is also a different dub).
All three titles are in English (and the other two are currently redirects), so I wonder which one should be given priority. (Just for the record, Wikipedia currently uses Arrietty too.)

What to do with a work that has two official English titles? The work in question is Jitsu wa Watashi wa. As can be seen in the work page, the manga was licenced by Seven Seas Entertainment under the name My Monster Secret (which almost nobody likes, by the way). Later, the manga got adapted into anime, and the anime was licensed by Crunchyroll under the more literal translation Actually, I am. The work page is currently using My Monster Secret.

Hello, I need a second opinion on this entry:
- Attempted Rape: In the first arc, Oolong drugs both Goku and Bulma with sleeping powder so he can "play" with a naked Bulma and steal the dragonballs. Fortunately Yamcha and Puar ruin accidentally his plans.
Although the above did happen, it was Played for Laughs (Dragon Ball has a lot of sexual humor like this) and Oolong wasn't going to rape her, but feel on her breast while she was unconscious. Yeah, still dirty and disgusting, but I think calling it rape maybe a bit too much.

Question about a possible name migration. My project this time is Manga.Daily Life With Monster Girl. Usually this is somewhat straightforward, but I'm not sure just what English title to use here. The recently started anime is on Crunchyroll as Monster Musume Everyday Life With Monster Girls while the English version of the manga is advertised as Monster Musume, with the "Everyday Life" part as more of a subtitle (see here◊). Though sites like Amazon & Barnes & Noble simply advertise it as Monster Musume.
My question here is which title should I use: Monster Musume by itself, Everyday Life with Monster Girls by itself, or the full title as seen on Crunchyroll?

This time, instead of the barrage of SB 69 themed questions here and on Trope Finder I'm gonna post something else. I found this Mary Sue entry on YMMV.Himouto Umaru Chan:
- Mary Sue: Umaru. She gets whatever she wants one way or another, everyone who disagrees with her is mocked by the story and people who are not completely under her spell are seen as weird by everyone else.
- This can be disputed in a number of ways, though. While Umaru may be overly idealized (All that high fructose corn syrup going into her system and yet she's fit? Not to mention the rumors of her wealthy background, which are being backed up by recent foreshadowing), the universe does not necessarily warp itself to fit her needs all the time, and it's somewhat plausible for her situation to exist, as the comedy is derived from her acting mature outside the home and childish within it or at the arcade. She's intelligent, but she chooses to be immature anyways, in the vein of Calvin. Sometimes her own flaws hold her back from achieving her childish goals, and it is shown several times that Taihei *is* within his own power to put his foot down if he feels like it, as a surrogate parent for Umaru (holding back her pocket money and limiting her purchases, for instance, or not buying the car she wanted to get from a commercial). Furthermore, she does undergo Character Development over the course of the manga, starting to think of others before herself and realizing how much Taihei does for her, which is probably a lot more than Calvin ever experienced in his own strip. As of chapter 116, she's starting to consider abandoning her at-home persona completely. Plus, it's comedy, and Calvin isn't being called an overly idealized character either.
The Wall of Text that is the subbullet seems to reek of Justifying Edit. And I wnat opinion on what to do with this.

Several anime and manga have been switched to English titles, such as Gakuen Alice (Alice Academy) and Mahou Shoujo of the End (Magical Girl Apocalypse.) What's going on? I find it especially strange with Gakuen Alice since that title is used for the English manga.

Now I have a Show by Rock!! example.

Zero Context Example aside, I think that firs better for Bitch in Sheep's Clothing (especially for a certain pink-haired member of Criticrista), what do you think
(I originally posted this to Trope Finder, but after realizing that I know what trope that was, Moved it here instead)

We kind of have an issue here. The Manga/Anime pages are more coherent and have more content than the single Yu-Gi-Oh page, but that's the one linked to on the recap button for Yu-Gi-Oh.

I came across UsefulNotes.Winter 2011 Anime, which appears to have been blanked a while back. I'm not really sure what to make of it. It looks like maybe it was some sort of aborted attempt at making an index or list of anime, though there don't seem to be any similar pages. Should I go ahead and cutlist it?
Need help. For some reason, all of the folders on the Maken-ki! character sheet are now open and won't close. I've checked the coding four times and everything is marked as it should be, but they're not closing. Am I missing something?
