Tropedia

  • 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.

  • Author Existence Failure: Keith Relf died in 1976.
  • Creative Differences: Eric Clapton was a blues purist who felt the band were selling out by releasing the pop single "For Your Love", which prompted his departure from the group.
  • Fan Nickname: Roger the Engineer was originally a Self-Titled Album in England. The cover art was Chris Dreja's cartoon portrait of the album's engineer, Roger Cameron, which was titled "Roger the Engineer". As with The Beatles' White Album, fans started referring to the album by its cover design, and the Fan Nickname eventually became the semi-official album title.
  • Hitless Hit Album: Thanks to UK record industry practices.
  • The Pete Best: Original guitarist Anthony "Top" Topham, who was replaced by Clapton. To his credit, he's never seemed too bothered by it and has said that he'd probably have quit the group eventually and "for the same reasons as Eric".
