Now, to be perfectly clear, I didn't cut these because they were wrong. I cut them because they are useless as examples to anyone who isn't familiar with the work. And that makes it impossible to tell if they're good examples. It also means that there's no real information here about how the trope is used only the bare assertion that it is used. They also are misusing potholes: potholes should make things clearer or add information, not be used to hide important information, like what work the example is from.

Can we add an alternate title of "Goddamn Orcs"? Sometimes it's spelled that way, rather than "Orks", and might cause a lot of redlinks on other pages (face it, people don't always hit the preview button).
