Edit War spotted in Frozen Disney (over Broken Aesop) and Frozen (over Abusive Parents).

There is a dispute going on on FanficRecs.South Park involving shouty edit reasons and unexplained deletions. One recommendation looks questionable, but I don't see issues with the others.

Which work to put this trope example in?
- One of Cartoon Network's bumpers shows Josie and the Pussycats time warping through successive music eras. One of their first style hops was to the Seventies disco era. This caused Valerie's sensible hairstyle to bloom into a large Afro almost instantly. Even Valerie was surprised at this development.

immblueversion seems to have learned their lesson about spoiler policy a little too hard, and has outright deleted numerous tropes from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls for violating the "do not spoiler tag entire examples" rule, instead of either fixing them or commenting them out until somebody else does. In the same edit, they deleted several other trope entries that weren't violating this policy without giving reasons why.
I'm currently in the process or re-adding the deleted examples, either fixed to comply with policy, or commented out. It's worth noting that upon review, I am agreeing with some of the non-spoiler-related deletions, but there still should have been explanations for their original deletion.

I noticed there seem to be a bit of confusion about the Classic Disney Shorts namespaces. Some are under WesternAnimation/, other under Disney/. I thought the Disney/ namespace was reserved to feature-length movies. Which one is correct?

Don't know which work to post then in, assuming it's not there already:
- Harsher in Hindsight: In the end of an episode of The Simpsons, there's a PBS-style fundraising for Fox. Betty White says if they dont' get more money, favorite programs would get shutdown. A TV is shown, with the Family Guy logo on it. Betty White turns off the TV. Family Guy would get cancelled for real [[note]] but since uncancelled [[//note]]

Is it okay if I make a thread in the western animated section about "Underrated" characters. I only came here to ask because I don't want to just make a thread and then it results in getting locked.

This is a question regarding the forums.
May I create a forum topic on the Western Animation thread about the whole Draco in Leather Pants and Ron the Death Eater in animation?

I think this entry from AlphaBitch.Western Animation could be rewritten a bit to shift its focus. What does the Troper Hive Mind think?
- On the show Horseland, we have sisters Chloe and Zoey Stilton, who are Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in appearance. They're definitely Alpha Bitches, and also Rich Bitch material...oddly enough, they seem to have bigger "boobs" than the other girls. That's not accurate, let me rephrase...none of the girls, who are about 13, have "boobs", they have "bumps". But Chloe and Zoey seem to be drawn a little bigger.

I would like to report a troper by the name of Buzzinator.
He's posted some outrageous edits in both the Trivia page for Superman Vs The Elite, and the anime folder for Merchandise-Driven. I tried removing the Trivia portion, but he pasted it back in just saying, "It's the truth," without any citations or sources.
To summarize, he says that Green Lantern First Flight had a budget of $78 million, and that TMS lost so much money on it they had to do other projects, all the while throwing out incomes and losses and budgets with no source or citation. He claims that a WB studio was shut down to pay back TMS, yet in the link he used, there's no mention of that being the reason why, or where the saved money was being used.

I'm very sorry if this isn't the place to post this: I can't figure out where else to go.
I'm having some trouble with a couple of Season 2 pages on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). Namely, Turtles in Space Part 2: The Trouble with Triceratons and Turtles in Space Part 5: Triceraton Wars. Whenever I try to edit them to create the pages it simply sends me back to the 'We don't have an article named' page, no matter what I do. They don't appear to be locked, but have they been cut for some reason? Is the URL name too long, or unacceptable because it contains a made-up word?
Can anyone please tell me what I need to do with these pages to sort them out?

A troper named Toilet Duck 23 deleted a lot of examples on the recap page for the episode "A Fistful of Meg" for no edit reason, and even deleted half of the synopsis.

At this YMMV page
I removed an entry that seemed nattr-y to me, not to mention being a rather weird speculation (that some characters are disliked by fans because they remind them of their real experiences). Other troper readded it without edit reason. I don't want to engage in an edit war, so I'm requesting arbitration.

This is the first time I'm actually snitching on myself, but I think it's best for a mod to show up on the discussions page for the character sheet for the movie Frozen because I got into a heated argument with a troper regarding abusive parents ,before things get ugly fast.
