Template:Users blocked has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this template, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

This message was added automatically by Nikbot, if you need some help about it please read the text above again and follow the links in it, if you still need help ask at the → Commons:Help desk in any language you like to use. --Nikbot 03:55, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

File:Rated 12 for the following.png has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.

The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Blocked edit

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently uploading media that is in violation of Commons' licensing policy, despite our warnings not to do so, and despite our instructions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may add {{unblock|your reason here}} below this message explaining clearly why you should be unblocked. See block log.

You comment here shows me that you do not understand what the Commons is for. This is for freely licensed images and telling us you are going to reupload it anyways, regardless of our policies and what admins tell you, is not going to fly.User:Zscout370 ^{(Return fire)} 19:52, 27 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Unblock edit

Unblock request declined

This blocked user asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without discussion.

Request reason: "I forgot to read Commons:L. I have read it, I will have permission, I will read everything! Unblock me? I didn't upload unfree files after warnings, just a joke."

Decline reason: "Your behaviour (and comments below) does not sound like you are willing to participate with constructive work. --Denniss (talk) 01:27, 7 April 2012 (UTC)"Reply

Administrators: This template should be removed when the block has expired.

Because no one appears to be unblocking me, I am forcing any admin to unblock me. --ItsMeBrandonSky (talk) 23:32, 27 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Since my unblock request was declined, we are now starting a discussion. I have good faith that I should be unblocked from editing Commons, and have good editing. ItsMeBrandonSky (talk) 03:58, 7 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

You've caused enough trouble across Wikimedia already.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:21, 14 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
