... because it was a cut-and-paste directly 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 sole author of the content that you tried to add and can grant us a license to use it, it cannot be used here. Consequently it has been deleted in order to protect the wiki from legal liability.

You are free to recreate the revision to the passage 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:

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. However, per section 2.3 of that page, I am required to give you a formal warning that if you attempt to copy content from TVT again, you will be subject to an immediate tempban.

If you could please reply to this message so we know we've reached you. Thanks.

-- Looney Toons, admin

The edit has since been restored, you provided proof it was yours. We apologize if we come off paranoid about plagiarism, but we are very gun shy of liability. Please include edit reasons stating it is your own edits with links where possible so we can check in the future.

Indeed. My apologies. All I can say is I was responding to what little information was available, based on nearly a decade of drive-by plagiarists; you and one other are the only verified TVT contributors to port their work to us in all that time.
