But again, your new page, The Chase (game show), was another word-for-word copy of an article at TV Tropes. Let me repeat this in case my older message below was unclear or too difficult to understand: This is illegal and a bannable offence.

You have received a one-month tempban and are now on official warning: If you copy another article from TV Tropes without proving that you are the sole creator of its content, your IP will be permanently banned from the wiki.

Please reply to this message to acknowledge that you have received it and understand.

Unfortunately, we've had to delete both as copyright violations, as they were cut-and-pasted directly from TV Tropes. Due to the differences in our Creative Commons licenses, we cannot legally use content copied from TVT that was created after their license change in 2012 (nor can they use content copied from us) -- see our page on copyright for more details.

One of the few exceptions to this otherwise hard-and-fast rule is if you wrote the material yourself, in its entirety. Then as the copyright holder you can put it here. If you can document that you are the sole creator of the pages in question, we will happily undelete them.
