Have fun with that.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallIf a trope can't be depicted in a video, then we can't have video examples of it.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Speaking of Partial Context Examples, some of the Asshole Victim videos only illustrate the "victim" part, not the asshole part.
"Thanos" Doesn't even say anything, just dies. Even the description doesn't mention anything he did.
"Eliminate Mishkin" Unless there's a Bilingual Bonus I'm missing also fails.
So, just got a message pulling me into the Dark Reprise cleanup. Is it alright if I splice the existing video together with a clip of the original song to clarify that it's a reprise? Cause I can make that happen.
Number 1 CGI Fireman Sam defenderFWIW I rejected this video just now because I agree. I got no opinions on the other one.
Most VideoExamples.Alternative Foreign Theme Song examples don't tell me the theme songs are 'alternative', right?

Yeah, those videos were listed in the Sandbox.Videos Needing Review for that reason. We will probably need a juxtaposition of the original song and foreign alternative for these videos to work.
Macron's notesOK, I shall take out the garden shears.
EDIT: And done. Only "Every Unique Sonic X Theme" and "Dragon Ball" have the original to compare, but I also kept "Urusei Yatsura Italian Theme" and "Transformers alternate French theme" because the videos kept the original language's texts (resulting in Italian song over Japanese text / French song over English text) although if the need to recognize foreign languages leaves too much up to chance those can be deleted as well.

The Written-In Absence video example for the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S1 E8 "Look Before You Sleep" page has been misgiven as "Written In Absense". Please correct the error.
(Thought the ping punctuation issue had been fixed. Guess not)

Just as a matter of curiosity, why do some pages not allow you to upload videos? I was thinking about trying to find an appropriate video to put on this Let's Player's page, but when I checked, the option for uploading wasn't available. I'm not complaining or anything, I'm just wondering.
That's a trifle, if ever was.You upload videos through trope pages and then identify the works they're sourced from.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallSandbox.Video Ideas used to exist, yes. It was deleted for a lot of reasons, though natter was not actually one of them.

Way to just ignore the context issue. In some cases, a lack of context is considered a type of trope misuse. At the very least it's not proper example-ing.
Also, nobody said it had to be a full-length song? You don't need an entire song to contextualize a trope like this, playing part of the original song and then cutting to part of the reprise is more than enough. You almost never need an entire song anyway, in fact, and things like that are a copyright minefield so the less music the better.
