Copyright violation

@Shawn the Logo Boy:

I have deleted portions of your new page Fun Size/YMMV because they were word-for-word copies of text from TV Tropes. In fact the entire page as you originally created it was in its entirety a copy of TVT's page, but before I checked it against TVT you had added sufficient original content that I only deleted that infringing material which remained. Similarly, I have undone the edit you have made to Hotel Mario because it turned the sentence you edited into a word-for-word copy of content at TVT.

Understand, please, that 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 only person to ever work on that page there and can grant us a license to its entire content, it cannot be used here. You are free to recreate the deleted material completely in your own words. Before you do, though, we would recommend that you review the following pages that you may find helpful:

Finally we strongly recommend that you read 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.

It is, however, sadly necessary to inform you that by the guidelines on that page, you are the recipient of a formal warning. Further attempts at copyright violation will be met with a temp ban.

Please reply to this message so we know we've reached you. Thanks.

Sorry about that.

Not sorry enough, apparently -- I have rejected your most recent edit to Fun Size (film)/YMMV for once again being copyright violation -- save for six or seven words it is once again a word-for-word copy of content -- the very same content as before, in fact -- taken directly from TV Tropes. Per the warning you received two days ago, seen above, you are now temporarily blocked from editing for two weeks.

Further attempts at copyright violation will result in your permanent ban from the wiki.

On a far less severe issue, please note that the page you created, Fun Size/YMMV, has been moved for being created under the wrong parent. Fun Size is a trope, not a work. I have spent the time necessary to create a work page for the 2012 film Fun Size (film) so that it had a proper parent to live under, rather than delete it outright. (Which, given the amount of copyright issues you've given us with that single page, maybe I should have done.)

Oops. Thanks.

ShawnTehLogoBoi (talkcontribs)

Sorry, Looney. I should've read the rules before editing.

Looney, after I get unblocked, I will add April Martin to the Film: Live Action - Scrappies section, because she's the worst character in Fun Size.
