Hi, Deist Zealot, it looks like you're trying to copy content from TV Tropeson The Col Sec Trilogy. This is a problem because:

X You imported content from TV Tropes after July 2012 (see ATT:Copyrights)
X You failed to properly attribute the content's source (see ATT:Copyrights)
All The Tropes does not have the same rules for content censorship (see ATT:Content Guidelines)
X WikiWords are not valid linking syntax on Mediawiki (see Help:Links)
X Content should use valid Mediawiki formatting (see Help:Formatting)
Pages on All The Tropes do not use namespaces, unless necessary to disambiguate

If the content is later than July 2012, you didn't write it or otherwise own it, and you put it on here -- then you just illegally copied it. We'll remove it, unless you notify us that it was in fact your writing, and you license it to us. If you wrote it yourself, you should attribute your self in an edit comment.

Properly attributed content must include the source's name, license (e.g. CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0), and should probably include a link to the original source.

Please try to fix all the links, by adding spaces, removing namespaces, and cleaning up formatting.

Please correct any errors in the page, or ask us for more help in doing so.

If you're unclear about anything around here, check out the TVT-New User Introduction. Welcome aboard!

Thanks, All The Tropes Staff

I'm actually the person who was pretty much the sole contributor to that page at the tropehole (aside from weird random deletions over weird random decisions). Probably should have explained that.

Then please make that clear from now on, just so we avoid any issues.

If you are the only contributor, then that's fine, just please wikify the page so it's in the correct format.

That aside, happy to have you here, hope you have fun. :)

That's cool. We get this kinda thing a lot, so I invented a whole letter template just for you (and everyone who comes after you). But really, welcome aboard.

If you're copying your own content from TVT, attribute yourself in the edit message.

Already been through and edited it. I think the formatting is mainly fixed now.
