All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXVIII

[GethN7]

Could somebody who has access to the edit history on TVT please check whether this edit was posted by the person who wrote it, please? The edit summary at ATT is "importing old example from TV tropes"

I checked, tad sus. The original writer was Warjay77, who claims to be a woman on their troper page. HeneryVII is apparently a guy on our site.

Date it was added on TV Tropes was September 23, 2022.

Thanks, Geth. Edit rolled back and troper warned.

And we have a reply which sounds legit to me. See here

I need mod opinions on this one, please...

Yeah, did some more digging, and they appear to be telling the truth, so I'll take the L on this one. On that note, TV Tropes is actually in violation of Creative Commons to some extent from looks of it. While they are only supposed to keep a copy of the latest revision only for the works and tropes pages, their purging of troper histories does destroy key records to prevent accusations of plagiarism by making sure the OG edit can be matched with the OG troper who wrote it.
