I mean this in the kindest way possible, but what exactly is your question here? This is a little nonsensical.

Also, why are the indicated troper’s actions not a surprise?

^ The troper in question has a history of being suspended for making big page moves unilaterally.

As to whether there was a discussion on the move, not that I can find anywhere. However, I would tend to agree that Public Domain is better off as a Useful Notes.

^^ I felt like I should have been been clearer to what I was asking. Apparently, the unilateral move was the first concern I have before the changing of the dates.

I feel like it should be reverted to the Main namespace before it should be agreed upon that it should be a Useful Note.

I agree that it should be moved back to Main for now. I do think it belongs in Useful Notes, but it should have been done via a "Really a Useful Note" TRS thread. If the backlog is full, it can be added to Tropes Needing TRS.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

I'm highly considering it, though I might need a mod to weigh in on this.

I don’t like the idea of using this wiki to give legal advice. If we do so, we ought to be extra careful with editing and fact-checking.

Yes, this move should have happened as part of a TRS thread, not least because it is unnecessarily focused on American Law and has no mention of Fair Use.

Nods on that. Every country has its laws of copyright. Are there more comments before this is reverted to the Main/ namespace?

Well, should I bring it back to the Main/ namespace and call it to the Tropes Needing TRS Page?
