Your edit to Caleb Plant has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. – ².O.^Boxing 10:01, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, but I'm not sure why I've been criticised for adding this photo: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Caleb_Plant_Photo.jpg when there is no message at the file page stating that it is copyrighted, and the file is not nominated for deletion? I did not add the photo to Commons, and it is marked as Creative Commons licenced. Safeguarding (talk) 09:21, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

You were not criticized! The message is merely giving you information about your copyright violation. You will learn to recognize copyright violations. People cannot just upload images that they find on the internet and then call it "own work". "Own work" means that the uploader is the photographer, so these are just newbies who don't know what they are doing. For instance, the image you just added to the Hensel twins' article is very obviously a copyright violation. It has now been nominated for deletion from Commons. What you can take away from this is that sometimes it takes a while for Commons to take down copyvios, and it is your (and everyone's) responsibility to consider whether it is an obvious copyvio before using it in a Wikipedia article. Please review the other images you have added to Wikipedia articles to make sure that they were properly uploaded, and, if not, reverse your edits. -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:50, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Townsonia viridis - my apologies

Hello Safeguarding, I humbly apologise for uploading the image of Townsonia viridis to Commons. I should most definitely have known better! The original had the copyright tag CC-BY-NC 3.0 (Au). I have nominated the image(s) for deletion in Commons. Gderrin (talk) 23:29, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't necessarily want an unblock, but don't know how to point out that I think these two pages are duplicates: Kateryna Koryshko and Yekaterina Kurizhko
