Warnings

Image uploads

edit

Hi Psamtik, There are issues with all of the images you have uploaded and all are either deleted now, or will be deleted if not corrected in a few days. You cannot take images from websites (panoramio, google, facebook, myspace and anywhere else) or scan/photograph an image from a magazine or newspaper, then claim as yours. This is a breach of copyright and such images are deleted quickly. I notice that you have uploaded images taken by many different cameras and claimed they are all your images. I suspect that few or none of them are and that you took most or all of them from websites. Note that you must chose a licence when uploading an image - select one from the drop down box. Images without licences are deleted within 7 days of upload. Can you please respond on the source of the images you uploaded. Without confirmation of which are yours and which come from websites we have no option but to delete all of them. - Peripitus (Talk) 21:43, 1 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Stop uploading images that are not yours

edit
 

I have spent the past hour investigating dozens of copyrighted images that you downloaded from various websites and then attempted to pass on as being your own work. Your refusal to properly upload and license images puts Wikipedia at risk of violating international copyright law and wastes the time of many editors who must cleanup after you.

Since you have ignored previous messages regarding your image uploads, I will be very succinct. If you upload any photo that you did not take with your own hand, you will be blocked. — Kralizec! (talk) 21:48, 1 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Offer of a second chance

edit

To elaborate on what Peripitus said above, with a few exceptions, the only images that should be uploaded to Wikipeda are those photos that meet the following three criteria:

  1. you yourself took the picture,
  2. you own the copyright to the photo and have permission not only to photograph the subject of the image, but also to distribute copies of the picture
  3. you wish to donate the image for free use by anyone in perpetuity

Your photo submissions to date do not meet these criteria. Examples of this include File:Giza 7.jpg where you stated "I (Marwa Morgan) created this work entirely by myself," while in File:Port Said 29.jpg you claimed to be "Waleed Montaser" and in File:Shobra Kheima 1.jpg you were "Alaa Awaad." Since we cannot tell the difference between photos that are actually yours and those where –like in the examples– you said the pictures were yours but they really belong to other people, all 250-odd photos you have uploaded are probably going to be deleted from Wikipedia.

If you understand what I am saying and if you promise not to upload any images that do not meet all three of the above criteria, then you can remain a Wikipedia editor. Otherwise your Wikipedia account will be blocked indefinitely, as will any other account that tries to upload similar images (such as Ramsso (talk · contribs · logs) and Ahmad Soliman (talk · contribs · logs)). I wholeheartedly believe in giving people second chances, but what you do with that chance is up to you. — Kralizec! (talk) 15:46, 2 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately I see that you chose to disregard my offer by uploading a bunch of images from the st-katherine.net site and listing them as being "Free by St-Katherine High Mountains Region Website" when that site actually states that "You are welcome to...use any of the images found on this site on the condition that you give credit and link back to our site." Since you did not following their terms, it is time to end your Wikipedia experience. — Kralizec! (talk) 19:48, 3 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

This account was blocked by the administrator Kralizec. The causes of his blockage is understood and accepted. Thus i demand unblocking this account to begin a new restart with contributing to Wikipedia

Decline reason:

I think before being unblocked, you will need to convince the reviewing administrators that you understand the image policy. PhilKnight (talk) 19:34, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Yes i read the rules of uploading images and we'll consult the admins if we faced any problems with loading any image. If the problem is with uploading images we'll consult any of the admins before uploading images because despite we read the image uploading rules, it seems difficult to implement while loading images as we find ourselves getting blocked and charged of copyright abuse while we don't claim we are the photographers since we don't have a camera and we aren't skilled or talented photographers though.
