I don't know who is updating & expanding the TeraVerse trope page but it looks great. I can't figure out how to do it myself (I'm a Luddite) but here are a few other additions:
~~ Motifs & sources
Boston Rebels (football team)- The Game Plan (2006)
The Savage- The Gnarly Man (1939)
Shawshank State Prison =- The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
tropes
Well intentioned extremist- The C.L.I.T.
Everything’s better with monkeys- Suzanne MacGregor, Monsieur Mallah, Congorilla, Nazi hybrids
Power Incontinence- Madam Fatale can’t turn off her psychometric power

It's really easy. click the edit tab near the top and simply copy the appropriate formatting of the section you're adding to
Example:
for a source use * ''[[Source name]''
for a trope use * [[Trope name]: or *[[Trope name|What you want to have displayed instead of Trope name]:

Thanks. I fumbled around at first but once you get the hang it's very user friendly.

Wow. I suppose it's getting big enough to really need a timeline like that to keep things straight... Can we link that document in the Teraverse page?
Mm. I should really finish working up the specifics for the Tom Swift/O Wicked Wanda! story so I have more than one light green square!

Dammit, Captain B! I wanted to see that prissy old bag in Holy Tragedy get her comeuppance, and you leave it off-screen!

Say, Batzulger? Can you please confirm some speculations as to the origins of some of the characters from "On Location"?
Billie Frank -- from "Rude Awakening" (the "meltdown on EW" makes it pretty obvious, but still...)
Rebecca Lowell - from "Angel"?
Robert Bowfinger - from "Bowfinger" (also obvious, but just checking)
Schroeder St. Paul -- from "Peanuts"
Franck Eggelhoffer - from "Father of the Bride"

But you did miss one even though you caught Schroeder who I thought was the hardest...
EDIT: I'm sorry, two.

Oh, I'm sure I missed a few. Those were just the ones who were obvious to me. So who are the two?

Dean 'Dino' Velvet from 8mm as one of the Editors. And Lola from Kinky Boots as the Costume Designer.

About. I'm not familiar with either, that's why.

I think I posted that from my phone... I have no idea what word "About" was actually supposed to be before autocorrect got to it.

Heh. You'd probably do better than you think. My list was half outright recognition and half "damn, I know that, but from where?" followed by Google. Except for Schroeder -- that one was a "he can't be serious" guess.

I have never lost at Trivial Pursuit..... Schroeder was named after a kid Schultz knew in St. Paul.

Bob, I tried to enter a reference to 'Masterpiece Theater' on the Terawatt TV tropes page, but I've screwed it up somehow and can't link it. Can you fix it?

Sure, no problem -- scanning through the history I saw your initial error, which kicked everything else off. But why not reference Downton Abbey and Jeeves and Wooster directly, since we have pages for both?

Thanks. I got too focused and was digging my hole deeper, instead of backing off and reconsidering the problem from scratch.
