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.
One of the Villain organizations was named "Wonderland Weather".
Sir August played a game of croquet with Father, as Alice did with the Red Queen.
At one point Mother said "I often think of six impossible things before breakfast" (a paraphrase of the White Queen's line).
One of the Ministry's agents was named "Alice".
Mrs. Peel fell "down a rabbit hole" in the maze and ended up in Sir August's clutches. He used a mixture of hypnosis and drugs to send her on a hallucinogenic journey through a bizarre area.
Mrs. Peel escaped from Sir August's tesseract rooms by jumping through a mirror on a wall, similar to the way Alice went through the looking glass.

When Sir August appears before the Council of Ministers to make his demands, he starts off by saying "Now is the winter of your discontent", from Gloster's line in Richard III: "Now is the winter of our discontent".
Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest. While Father and then fake Mrs. Peel are escaping by balloon, Sir August sends instructions by radio to head "north by northwest".
The endless stair Mrs. Peel tries to descend during her drug-induced nightmare was clearly inspired by the works of the artist M. C. Escher.
After finding two dead scientists wearing bear suits Steed says "The teddy bears are having a picnic." This refers to the song "Teddy Bears' Picnic.
When Steed and Mrs. Peel see the two bearsuit-wearing villains split up, Mrs. Peel says "I'll take the high road" and Steed says "And I'll take the low road.", a reference to the Scottish song The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond.
While Steed and Mrs. Peel are in the escape pod Steed says "The owl and the pussycat went to sea, in a beautiful pea-green boat.", from the Edward Lear poem.
