Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Oromia flag.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 19:54, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Note that the same exact image has been previously uploaded as Image:Et-olf.gif and Image:Oromoflag.gif. As these earlier versions met with speedy deletion (e.g. for restrictive non-commercial or educational use), this too has been deleted (see CSD G4. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The flag image already exists at Wikimedia Commons (and I've already added it to Oromo Liberation Front). There is no need to repeatedly upload this image to Wikipedia. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 00:54, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

You also uploaded Image:Ethiopian Flag.jpg as the ostensible flag of Ethiopia, then used it as such in the Ethiopia article. This suggests you are pushing a point-of-view on Wikipedia. Please stop. Thanks in advance for your consideration. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Change the language back, if you like. However your earlier edits ([3], [4]) also replaced the official currency, flag, and capital of the region. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

My last edit to Oromo Liberation Front was to remove a link to a deleted image. My next-to-last edit was to include the Oromo-language name in the article. Exactly what is the problem with my edits? And I'm compelled to ask, what is your own motivation behind your edits? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:56, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did to Oromia Region, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The region's official flag is as shown here. Please stop replacing it. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 00:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I am being Blocked from edit just because of my view. I only have one account, but since I am using school internet service there could been other thousands who share the same account. The admin has been extending the block too. I respectfully ask the admin to stop people from posting their point of view.
