We've noticed that you've used the Visual Editor over the past 60 days. There is currently a proposal up before the wiki community to turn it off permanently, and we're inviting you to weigh in. Please join the thread and let us know your opinion.

The wiki staff has agreed that your edit history and wiki participation justify promoting you to autopatrolled and automoderated. Your edits will no longer require admin approval before they are applied to the wiki.
Quite frankly, it's long overdue, and we apologize for taking so long.

However, it's missing some information that we are legally required to have. Please check All The Tropes:Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page for all the details, but basically, we are required by both law and the Creative Commons license we use to have the license under which we may use the image. I suspect that it's going to be "fair use" (which you can put on the page by editing it and adding the {{fairuse}} template to it) but in case it's not please check the help page for details.
Not strictly required but strongly encouraged is the URL where you found the image. Twice in ATT's life we've suffered catastrophic damage that resulted in lost files, and we still haven't restored some because people don't remember where they came from or even what they looked like. Putting the source URL in the image description will let us find it and restore it if that ever happens again.
Categories identifying and classifying the image are also encouraged.
You can find more info about these and other requirements and "please do"s in the Uploading the Image to the Wiki section of the page I linked to above.
Thank you!

The image is a screenshot I took while playing The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, so it should be fair use.

You'll still need to add the license to the image page, and just note that it was a screenshot you made.
...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:
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?
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).
... because it includes a link to a page that doesn't exist, and it would be faster to re-submit the edit than it would be to approve and fix it.
* In late 2021, this happened to [[YOUTube]] after they ‘’removed the dislike counter’’.
You are welcome to fix the link and re-submit the edit.
