... because most of the "Gravity Falls" example is lifted word-for-word from TV Tropes. This is copyright infringement as the material postdates the fork and TV Tropes' subsequent change of license in 2012. Because All The Tropes and TV Tropes run under different Creative Commons licenses, content created there after 2012 cannot legally be used here without the express written approval of all the editors who contributed to it.

Feel free to rewrite the material in your own words and resubmit it, but we recommend you read our Copyrights policy first.

Also, we suggest that you use the Source Editor instead of the Visual Editor ("Edit Source" on the top menu instead of simply "Edit") because the Visual Editor is prone to doing profoundly stupid things to the page source while trying to be "helpful". In the case of your edit, it created hideously over-complicated potholing behind the scenes for the work names that you both linked and italicized. Also, for when you resubmit your edit, we do not alphabetize examples within the media sections on Work Pages. Per our Style Guide, put all new examples at the end of the section to make it easier for editors to find them.

Finally we strongly recommend that you read All The Tropes: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.
