All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXX

Sorry to necro this, but whenever I try to reply, I get hung up over potentially implying the wrong thing regarding what is and isn’t acceptable. (I understand it, but I’m failing to articulate it in a way that is both accurate and friendly.)

I just want to convey that their edits are OK to import, if attributed to themselves properly, containing no work of others who did not explicitly consent to their work being used under a different license, that there isn’t a need to rewrite it to appear different (But there is to use mediawiki syntax/different trope names), and any improvements over earlier versions are obviously welcome.

If you use those words, you should be okay.

We expect people to use at least high-school-graduate vocabulary, grammar, and syntax, and that's what you're using here.

They requested a copy of their old edits, Is it ok to PM them that?

Yes. If we didn't have Moderation running, they or anyone else would be able to get the old edits out of the page history. This is just an extension of that.

I've been a bit disoriented recently - I apologize for my hang up here.

No worries. We've all had bad days in the past.
