Ok, I finally found your video on the “videos awaiting approval” list (I didn’t know I had access to that until now).
I noticed that your video was 15 minutes long which is waay too long and I think that is what is causing the issues you are having with it.
Video examples function best when they are under 2 minutes and 30 seconds long (see Video Guidelines).

Macron's notesSo if someone has an issue with my video and I disagree but want to discuss it with them, where would that take place?
"Squid has to go to market. He's had to go to market for as long as he's sucked water."- "Persona 5 Royal: Violet" on Super Move Portrait Attack reveals Violet's real name, which is apparently supposed to be a huge twist. Please replace the phrase "used for "Kasumi"/Sumire Yoshizawa (codename: Violet)" with "used for Violet".
- Speaking of Super Move Portrait Attack examples related to Persona 5, please remove VideoGame.Persona 5 Royal as a source from "Joker's Final Smash", as it has nothing to do with Royal specifically.
Complete Monster: "Anjuro Katagiri" should have one of its sources changed from Manga/DiamondIsUnbreakable to Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable
Under Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress, "Ivan and Mylene" is not an example of the trope and should be removed.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Likewise, under Non Sequitur, “Olaf” should be removed, as the line is related to the prior discussion and therefore not a Non Sequitur.
The latest video example for Funny Bruce Lee Noises ("Carver") is sources to The World Is Not Enough, but the clip actually comes from Tomorrow Never Dies. The source should be changed to reflect this.
Trope Editor (he/him)On Synchro-Vox, "The Solar System Song" and "Jupiter vs Saturn" are the same video. The former should be removed, as it's (essentially) the full work.
2025: the year it all ends?Both of those videos use Synchro-Vox as a secondary trope, where the main tropes are Educational Song and Battle Rapping.
The video for Cathartic Chores from Young Sheldon should link to Young Sheldon S 1 E 15 Dolomite Apple Slices And A Mystery Woman. That link is broken.
The link is broken because the recap’s title is over 48 characters long (which is the cap for page sources unfortunately). Nothing I can do about that. I think I will just remove the recap as a source since it’s bugged.
Also, I removed Synchro-Vox as a secondary trope for "The Solar System Song" video (had to bring it back after accidentally denying it…) Done to here otherwise.

Macron's notes“Hisuian Ride Pokemon” under Power-Up Mount doesn’t cover the entire screen.
The bug that limited the length of video sources has been fixed, so some videos require editing.
Naked People Are Funny "Flatorte is Free-Free!": Source should be changed to LightNovel/IveBeenKillingSlimesForThreeHundredYearsAndMaxedOutMyLevel
Donkey Kong Country S 1 E 17 The Legend Of The Crystal Cocon All the videos here should have the cut off source changed to Recap/DonkeyKongCountryS1E17TheLegendOfTheCrystalCoconut
Bus Crash "The Simpsons - Poochie Dies": The cut off source should be changed to Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E14TheItchyAndScratchyAndPoochieShow
Even Evil Has Loved Ones "Magica loses her brother": The cut off source should be changed to Recap/DuckTales2017S3E21TheLifeAndCrimesOfScroogeMcDuck
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness "The Ending of the End": The cut off source should be changed to Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E24TheEndingOfTheEndPart1
Do we allow different language subtitles for videos? Because "Sonic is Lonely" in Adaptational Angst Upgrade fits the bill.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness "Media Loves a Sole Survivor" should be sourced to Film/Scream4, but it's also really low res for some reason.

Done to here otherwise.
(Ugh, page topper)
