All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXI

Previous thread is here.

Am I being paranoid, or should we hold off on approving these (and rejecting the one that deletes an example without explanation) while we ask for a Checkuser? There's already one approved edit in the history.
I don't think you're being paranoid. As MilkmanConspiracy suggests, reject the deletion for failing to explain why. Request the Checkuser, and we can always point to the holiday season as the reason for any delay in further Moderation, especially since we've put up a notice to that effect.

Checkuser requested.
I'm not going to reject the deletion edit today - we're supposed to be on Christmas break today. That can wait until tomorrow.

I'm waiting for the dough for some dinner rolls to rise, so I just went in and cleaned up everything in the Mod queue but Chickeninvader's edits and that one misplaced trope proposal. <shrug> Christmas won't start for us for a couple of hours yet, when we go over to Peg's mom's place.

Checkuser's done. I wasn't being paranoid.

And NotAracham has confirmed that it's a full IP block this time, not just an account block. I've thanked them publicly.

The Moderation queue's down to one entry again.
It's a trope candidate. It's similar to but not a copy of a trope by the same name on The Other Tropes Wiki. Honestly, the only things that are wrong wit it is that it's the first edit by a new user (we tend to discourage new-trope proposals by new users, but there's no actual rule against it) and it isn't in the Trope Workshop.
Do we want to let it go and immediately move it into the Trope Workshop?

I wouldn’t mind moving it to the workshop, though I’d like to do a double take to make sure the examples aren’t just paraphrased given the name similarities.

I'll wait on moving the page until you've done the check that you want to do, then.
