openEdit warring Print Comic
The Swordsman edited the Venom: Main Hosts page so that Eddie Brock's folder listed Sleeper and Carnage as identities he's had. I removed them because these aren't names the character ever officially adopted — they're symbiotes he's worn, but that doesn't mean he takes on the name.
The Swordsman added them back without discussion, with an edit reason saying that doesn't matter, even though I'm fairly certain it does, since otherwise, anyone who's ever worn a symbiote with a name for even an issue gets the name (Eddie wore Sleeper for like two issues and it also once possessed a corpse).

Edited by GeneralGiganopenWeird intro on Fridge page Print Comic
Fridge.When The Wind Blows has a really weird introductory paragraph section, that going by the History section seems to have been made when the page was in 2011. I feel like it might scare people from editing the page, and none of the examples are signed.
"A reminder of the rules of Fridge Brilliance:
This is a personal moment for the viewer, so every example is signed by the contributor. If you start off with "This Troper", really, you have no excuse. We're going to hit you on the head.
This revelation can come from anywhere, even from this very page.
Also, this page is of a generally positive nature, and a Fridge Brilliance does not have to be Word Of God. In fact, it usually isn't, and the viewer might be putting more thought into it than the creator ever did. This is not a place for personal commentary on another's remark or arguing without adding a Fridge Brilliance comment of your own.:
openVandalism. Print Comic
Hello I wanted to report that the the character page for the comic book version of Characters/Invincible has been vandalized. The images for the there are suddenly different and I can't find out who changed them using the history page. The image for the first Darkwing for example is of Chicken from Cow and Chicken. I think we have a vandalism strike.

openPeter Parker is the one true Spider-Man Print Comic
So, I just found out that the character page's title for the protagonist of the Spider-Man saga was changed to "Spider-Man: Peter Parker". I have to ask "was this even necessary? Was anyone even asking for this?"
As far as the average American is concerned, Peter is the one true Spider-Man, just like Bruce Wayne is the one true Batman and Clark Kent is the one true Superman. This might be my personal bias talking but characters like Miles Morales and Ben Reilly are just occupying the Spider-Man whenever Peter is unavailable. Try as Marvel might, it cannot overcome popular culture.
I don't mean to cause controversy, but this change, in my opinion, was unnecessary.

openA Random Troper Appeared! Print Comic
Some random troper named Gate Star X tore through the Runaways characters page and broke it up into several smaller pages, without bothering to give any of us who actually maintain that page any advance warning. He didn't even bother giving an explanation as to why he did all this. Is this sort of thing actually allowed?
openDarkhawk Print Comic
I just noticed recently that the page for the comic book Darkhawk was cut and redirected to Marvel Comics Darkhawk. This, despite the fact that the page was not just about the character, but about the 50 issue series that he was the main character of in the '90s.
Now, even if he hadn't had his own series, I always thought that characters having their own pages was allowed, as long as they didn't duplicate character sections — so when a character section got big enough, it could be transferred to its own page and the character given a link to the new page.
Despite this, I understand if you want to only have individual Comic Book pages for characters who have had their own comic book — which, I will point out, Darkhawk has had. The page was about his book. So I'm not sure why it was cut and then redirected.
openSmile Sisters Duology Print Comic
It’s, well, it’s weird. Smile Sisters Duology (having two images nonwithstanding) made sense when Smile and Sisters were the only two in the series. Then Guts came out and made it into a trilogy, and there will likely be more, and it got its own separate page. So it’s kinda weird how only 2/3 installments in a series are combined.
I suggest the pages should be combined into one page, likely titled “Smile Series”.
Edited by PurpleEyedGumaopenCan this be an Example of UnintentionallyUnsympathetic? Print Comic
Another troper and I have been debating whether it is correct to say a scene/character in America (2017) can fall under the YMMV Unintentionally Unsympathetic. The other person says that the readers aren't meant to feel for America, while I think that while America's behavior is shown to be wrong by the book, the audience is still meant to be somewhat sympathetic for her.
Here is the breakup page: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ceeMhfHkpSvdSZ88EdpmZLkIVGCax5tGmjjAeGBD79ZWZ_sM9xvv7UZ05jQmKdGMjY4igsxjQ_Md7eUDu0Ft6BqGw7OPWtj9_BR_0F5wEN3sv3cBm3b8Hm4kexyymmNjXdo-g=s1600
These following pages in some of the next issues are what I considered as proof that America is meant to be sympathetic:

The other troper's arguments: It's not a scene where one character is clearly in the wrong and the other is clearly in the right. So that's another problem—the trope requires the character to be clearly meant to be sympathetic, and that's not the case with America in that scene. And even if we look in the text, America shows no sympathy or understanding towards what's very clearly a difficult decision for Lisa. The only one in the conversation who's showing any compassion for the other person is Lisa. So basically, America is clearly not meant to be purely a victim here, to judge from the tone of the text and the art.
- My arguments: I returned to the page Unintentionally Unsympathetic and it doesn't say that the character has to be in the right, just that the character is meant to be sympathetic to readers. For example, the page says the trope can apply if "if they are overly whiny or overly dramatic," which definitely applies to America in the scene. Lisa is being pretty reasonable while America is cutting her off and saying stuff like "I'm used to being on my own anyway." "America is clearly not meant to be purely a victim here." I agree with this. However, I think, to be as simple as possible, that the audience is supposed to at least feel for America, and understand **why** she behaved "petty and unwilling to show understanding" in the scene, but her behavior is so offputting to some readers that they can't feel for America at all. I think both are meant to be at least a little sympathetic: the audience should feel for Lisa who isn't ready to move, and also for America who feels abandoned. It's not one or the other. The reader is supposed to see America's behavior as flawed, but also understand how she feels and have some sympathy for her. In response to the other troper's admission that they wished the author wrote the scene better, I replied: According to the trope page, Unintentionally Unsympathetic is "when a character's purpose is to get sympathy or motivation from the audience which fails because their story or personality is ***written badly***," which we can both agree on.
So, what do you all think? Is America meant to be sympathetic?

openToo much release format information on work’s page? Print Comic
On Dawn of X, there is a huge section dedicated to the collected editions of the various series. I’ve never seen one this big on any other work page, if they have anything similar at all, which they rarely do.
The one for individual series is already too big — and will only get bigger the longer it stays — but the second part, with the line-wide collections, is bigger than the main text of the page. Not only that, it reads more like an editorial on the merits of the way the titles are collected than a guide like the individual titles section does, and that was already unnecessary.
Can these be deleted?

Edited by SammettikopenDubious inquiry! Print Comic
Arthur Engine's edits on Peanuts (only that page, their other edits seem fine) consist almost entirely of describing the exact instances of various Panty Shots of the cast. I understand that writing when the trope happens is part and parcel to examples, but for a trope like this, in a work where the cast is children, it feels very skeevy to me.
Is there an actual problem here or am I just being menial?

When noting comic-book issues, do we include the number sign with the issue number or not? Because fangheadsforever tore through the Rainbow Rowell's Runaways work page and removed every number sign, with no explanation as for why, and I'm wondering if this was in keeping with some rule I was unaware of or if it's just their preference.
