Trivia rollbacks
Before resorting to protection or blocks, please put the reason for the revert in a summary first. If they see only a rollback, they might not actually understand why their edit is being considered invalid, or even that you're enforcing a rule rather than being arbitrary/opinionated. I created the trivia redirect so it would be easy to point to the trivia rules during undos. Thanks. Equazcion ( talk ) 23:10, 20 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * If you're referring to The Meatball, that's a strange case that admittedly may be me being paranoid (and by extension acting in bad faith). Certain patterns, particularly the editor's immediate change in IP to the next available in the range, just lead me to believe that this is someone I've dealt with before. This may just be indicative that I handled it badly then too, but hey. Gearzein (talk) 23:23, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It's definitely possible trolling. This does refer to The Meatball, but also other trivia-type rollbacks that I've seen be explanation-less. It's good to have a descriptive edit summary on the record either way for any particular situation, especially before other measures are taken for further such edits.

Duplicate images
If you're deleting all the duplicates uploaded for the Chinese translation, know that Noyastary has already uploaded a bunch also. Equazcion ( talk ) 03:41, 21 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * Jeez. I'll take care of those, but apparently Curse's servers are overloaded or something and can only handle four deletions at a time. Batches take a while, so in the interim between deletions, I'm writing up a general notice on the Chinese translation project page, since it seems to have picked up quite a bit of steam in a short time. Do you think that'd be a solid idea, and if so do you want me to run it by you before I publish it? Gearzein (talk) 03:51, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * There seems to a language barrier preventing them from really understanding the notes we've been giving them about how this is supposed to work -- so I'm not sure that the notice will help, but it might. You can go ahead and post it, I may edit it afterward. Equazcion  ( talk ) 03:56, 21 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd assume that translators could speak both languages well enough to communicate ideas fluidly from one to the other, but there does seem to be a breakdown in communication somewhere. It feels like there might just be more of them than we can account for, so contacting them as a group may have some effect that individual notices can't. It's worth a shot, I figure.

Goblin Summoner
Message from InfiniteMarioMaster

Hey, I got your message, and let me tell you that the Goblin Summoner is considered a boss for the Goblin Army because of these reasons...


 * The Goblin Summoner is the only enemy that shows up in the Goblin Army on Hardmode.
 * She spawns only once which is at the end of the event.
 * Her max life is 2000 which is the same as The King Slime.
 * She drops a lot of diffrent items that the other enemies don't which include new weapons.
 * People have been mentioning that the Goblin Summoner is the boss of the Goblin Army on any Terraria videos about the Summoner.

So please stop removing my edits, and if you don't believe me, find any videos about the Goblin Summoner and it will say.
 * Goblin Summoner drops a banner, whereas characters intended as bosses or mini-bosses tend to drop trophies. I could list other arguments, such as size and lack or multiple parts or forms, but I think the former is the major determining factor. It being Hardmode-only is not a factor, since we have many Hardmode-only enemies that aren't bosses. The same goes for the health -- the developers have explicitly stated the Wyvern isn't a mini-boss, and that one has 4000 (Martian Walker and Nailhead, similar). It doesn't matter much that you've seen people refer to it as a boss; that's basically no argument. Equazcion  ( talk ) 16:33, 21 Jul 2015 (UTC)
 * To add to this, multiple Summoners can spawn during an event, and at any point- I've had to fight up to five in a single invasion, all less than halfway into it, so it's not unique by any means. Plenty of enemies drop unique weapons during Hardmode as well, but I'd never classify an Angry Trapper as a boss.
 * It's also super disingenuous to claim it's a boss based on its HP when your point of comparison is an optional boss avaialable before the one the game considers the "first". Those same videos you point to for evidence also pushed the once popular claim that King Slime isn't actually a boss anyway. The community's opinion isn't where to look for information.
