... because it has been copied word-for-word from TV Tropes and a simple check of the page's history there shows that it is the work of at least six different people. Firstly, 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. Secondly, it is also Plagiarism, as you are clearly not the sole creator of the text in question, and cannot legally authorize its reposting here.

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

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. But we'd like to emphasize that "Falsely representing oneself as having the right to authorize copying content from TV Tropes" is one of the very few ways there are to earn an immediate permaban here at ATT.
