Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Crowning Moment of Awesome: A farewell message from the Prime Minister of Great Britain on his last breakfast show.
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: The farewell messages from everyone else that same day. The considerable effort he put into making sure Chris Evans, his successor on Radio 2, wasn't written off as a Replacement Scrappy before his first show also deserves an honourable mention.
They Changed It, Now It Sucks: As noted above, Terry tried really hard to avert this when he passed the torch on to Chris Evans. It worked up until the first Chris Evans Breakfast Show, which transplanted his former drivetime show to a new time-slot without changing anything except inserting an extra word into the jingles. Sadly, it's hard to argue that this wasn't justified, as the tone of the show is radically at odds with the rest of the pre-lunchtime lineup and doesn't really work when most potential listeners have been awake less than an hour and have yet to make coffee.
Averted more successfully in Eurovision by a moment of uncharacteristic humility from Graham Norton, whose first words on the job were, "I know, I miss Terry too."
