Oh, hey, just approved your file upload, Spybotics.PNG...

...but something you need to know going forward -- we require some more information than you provided. We're a quite bit more conscientious about copyright law here than TV Tropes is, and so uploaded files absolutely must have a license selected. We also would like the URL for where you got the image from -- we've had two catastrophic losses of data over the past ten years, and this is to help us recover in case we lose files in a future incident, as we have both previous times.

You can find a full list of what we want, what we need, and what we absolutely must have to stay compliant with the law on our page Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page. Please check it out, especially "Licensing" under "Uploading the Image to the Wiki". At the very bare minimum, we need a license and we need the image to be on a page. (The latter especially if it's the Fair Use/Fair Dealing license -- it's only Fair Use if it's used.) If we can't get that from you, we're going to have to delete the image to protect the wiki from legal repercussions.

Thanks!

The image is a screenshot of the game's title screen that I took myself. I've used this same image on the original TVTropes page. I'm not sure which license this will fall under, though.

The advice we give in the page I linked to is "Fair Dealing is always safe". You didn't create the image, or transform it in any way, so it's still under copyright by the game developer. What you would do in this case is in the image description put something like "Image capture of the title screen of Spybot: The Nightfall Incident‎ taken by User:Gadjiltron. All rights and ownership belong to (rights holder). The use of this reduced-size and -resolution image in the context of analysis and criticism of the work is believed to qualify as Fair Dealing/Fair Use under copyright law."

Then under the License heading, add the {{Fair dealing}} template.

That should do it.

And since you apparently haven't been around since you last replied, I've gone ahead and made the changes required to make your upload legal.

I'm just about to approve your edit to "Darkest Dungeon"...

... but I thought you'd like to know it appears you left the new second paragraph in the main text incomplete -- it stops in the middle of a sentence. I'll leave it as-is for now, to give you time to fix it.

Your proposed new page "Spybot: The Nightfall Incident" has been approved in Moderation...

...but only because we were able to read enough of the history for the corresponding TV Tropes page to confirm that you -- or at least a user there with the same handle as you -- are the sole editor behind that page, and thus have the legal right to copy it in its entirety to All The Tropes. In the future, if you will be transferring any other pages which are solely your own work, please let us know in the edit reason when you create the page; it'll save us a bit of time and effort. And in case you aren't aware, if you aren't the sole author of any material you want to copy over, you can't legally do so without the express written permission of all other TVT contributors who worked on it.

Okay, now that the stern moderator stuff is done with, welcome to All The Tropes! Your new page is one of best-done first contributions we've seen in a while, and for that we thank you. We look forward to your future contributions.

Thank you for the approval. Yes, I do go by the exact same handle over on original TVTropes. I look forward to continuing to work with you guys.
