Here is where I got the no © policy into my head: https://allthetropes.org/wiki/All_The_Tropes:How_to_Pick_A_Good_Image#Copyright_and_Fair_Use

Thanks. That's a carryover from TVTropes, and I'm not completely sure it applies here. I'll bring this up on the moderators' forum (offsite) - I could be wrong about our rules, after all.

I would also be interested in bringing back the image 'exorcism reversal' as a trope image if that is alright. ( Exorcism reversal is http://www.twogag.com/archives/1241 except the middle panel is missing and making the remaining images be top to bottom instead of left to right). I still have the edited version on my computer.

It's restored... and I added the licensing information to the page for you.

If it's still an unused file the next time I look at files with names starting with E, it'll be deleted as an unused file - so you have a day or two in order to use it somewhere.

Let's wait until I hear back from the other mods, please.

I was thinking the "all rights reserved" in the image I linked too bit might be relevant and was hoping you could bring it up at the same time.

I've heard back from other mods. To quote Labster:

TVT was assuming "we didn't know it was copyrighted" was an excuse (it isn't).

We're dropping that clause from our guidelines and replacing it with something that actually conforms to copyright law.

File:Wingman waiter.png has the all 3 of the panels as the comic page it came from. Is that a breach of "use limited excerpts"?

Good question... I believe that a single strip from an ongoing web comic is an excerpt from the work rather than an entire work, so I'd make a layman's guess and say it's okay. @Looney Toons, you know copyright law at least as well as I do - what do you think?

I'm no expert, honestly, just well-enough informed to know my own rights as a creator. But I think your argument is valid. The individual strip is certainly copyrighted, but I think "quoting" it in its entirety is safe.
