...because it was a word-for-word copy of an existing page at TV Tropes -- as you so kindly pointed out in your edit reason. 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 only person to ever work on that page and can grant us a license to its entire content, it cannot be used here. Consequently it has been rejected in moderation in order to protect the wiki from legal liability.

You are free to recreate the page 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:

• Copyrights
• New User Introduction
• So You're a TV Tropes Refugee
• Style Guide

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.

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

This was my own work from TV Tropes from back in 2017. I wanted to copy it over because I migrated here after getting banned from TV Tropes in July of that year.

In that case, my apologies. Let me go approve the edit, then.

EDIT: And as the wiki churns through the approval process, I just wanted to note that the original had a lot of good links that you left out. Are you planning to add those to the page?

I think so! Also, thanks for the compliment!

Ah - that's different. As long as you copy over the version that is your own work, not any version that other people edited, we're covered ... but you have to tell us that it is solely your work (and on occasion be ready to offer evidence - a link to a Wayback Machine copy of the unchanged work is usually enough here).
