... and never mind anything else I had here earlier, as I made a stupid error. Whether you saw the earlier message or not, I apologize for the mistaken assumption of copyright violation.
... however, I've had to revert all your changes to [[Kyonyuu Fantasy/Characters]] because they were copied word-for-word (and error-for-error) from TV Tropes. This is copyright violation -- TV Tropes and All The Tropes have different Creative Commons licenses, and as a result we cannot legally use TVT content from after July 2012. Unless you were the one to add those tropes to the TVT page (and the only person to ever edit them) and can grant us a license to use that content, it cannot be used here. Consequently they have been deleted in order to protect the wiki from legal liability.

(This is also quite a puzzle to me, because I've just finished reviewing ''all'' your other edits, and nowhere else have you resorted to cutting and pasting from TV Tropes. In fact, it is because we were beginning to trust that you knew what you were doing that we took a little while to catch on.)

You are free to recreate those trope entries ''completely in your own words'', if you care to.

Before you do, though, we would recommend that you review the following pages that you may find helpful:

*[[All The Tropes:New User Introduction|New User Introduction]]
*[[All The Tropes:So You're a TV Tropes Refugee|So You're a TV Tropes Refugee]]
*[[All The Tropes:Style Guide|Style Guide]]
*[[All the Tropes:Copyrights|Copyrights]]

We also strongly recommend that you read [[All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here|How We Do Bans Around Here]]. This isn't a threat -- this is the wiki policy strictly controlling how and when user bans can be applied by an Admin. We want you to be aware that unlike TVT, we do not ban users on whims or because we're cranky -- and that you know what we do ban people for, and what it takes, so you can avoid future problems.

Per [[All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here|How We Do Bans Around Here]], this is a formal warning for copyright violation. if you insert post-2012 material from TV Tropes into an All The Tropes page again, you will receive (based on the frequency of your edits) a two-week tempban.

Please reply in this thread to acknowledge that you have received this notice and understand what we are asking of you. Thanks.
