Topic on User talk:User:New XanderMartin98

I'm guessing you didn't bother to read All The Tropes:Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page as I suggested last night, because if you had, you wouldn't have uploaded this file without the licensing information that we are required by law to have. Per the Licensing section of that page, you are required to give us who owns the rights to the image, and the license under which we may use it. If you can't provide that information within the next 48 hours -- say, by noon EDT on August 12, we're going to have to delete this image to protect the wiki against legal liability.

This also counts as your first warning under our ban guidelines, section 2.3. Repeated uploads of images without license information will earn you a tempban.

Please acknowledge this warning, and please address the issue with this image.

Thank you.

The Corona-Chan image in said picture is "Corona-Chan's Coof Soup" by Glee-Chan (the DeviantArt user)

(also, the brain background in said picture is a screenshot from Nickelodeon's "The Angry Beavers" series, more specifically "Vantastic Voyage")

Technically, however, I created the picture itself (using GIMP); which licensing category does it fall under in that type of case?

(sorry; I don't seem to be allowed to include external links in comments here)

If I recall correctly, that's a "feature" of the talk software that we're using... :(

That's what copyright laws call a "derivative work" - you took an existing work and made changes to it. The original license would apply unless you want to specify something more restrictive (and the original didn't have a "share alike" clause in its license forbidding you from saying something more restrictive).

Is there a way for me to change the image's licensing category on the page itself?

There is, yes. Edit the file page, and, below the text that you added when you uploaded the file, add in the license that the image should have.

We don't expect you to know all of the templates that describe the images, or even that there are templates, so just add in a text description and a mod (probably me) will add the template that matches what you add.

In the future, if you choose a license on the "Upload file" page, the wiki software will add the appropriate template for you.

I think I've added the proper copyright information to the image in question now (check its upload page)

Two things:

1. Is the new version of my VOS page's cover image properly copyright-labeled? I made sure that it was.

2. I wasn't allowed to add things such as YMMV pages to page groups about my own works on TV Tropes; does that change here?

1. It looks good to me. Thank you for that update.

2. I created the YMMV subpage for "Fenspace", which is a shared-world project that I'm involved in -- so there's definitely no rule against starting a subpage for a page about your own works. The easy way to start a subpage here is to select "YMMV" (or whatever's appropriate) from the "Create New" button on the page menu, then fill in the holes on the subpage that loads, and save it off.
