User:Redvers/Your image (short)

Wikipedia has to obey international copyright law.

The image you uploaded did not meet international copyright law or Wikipedia's rules.

Therefore it was deleted under Wikipedia's rules.

What right did Redvers have to delete the image?
We have criteria for speedy deletion that say what we can and can't delete.

I want more proof Redvers had the right to delete my image!
I'm an elected administrator here at Wikipedia. That doesn't get me any extra rights or make me omnipotent or anything. But it does mean the community here have asked me to do certain essential tasks like deleting images.

Can't you make an exception for my image?
No.

But  exists, so mine should!
It doesn't work that way.

But I own the copyright on this image!
Scanning an image, searching Google for images, buying a copy of a photograph, finding a nice picture - none of these give you the right to claim copyright or to give the copyright away.

Fine. I'll just reupload the image like I did before
It will be deleted again.

Okay, so I'll change the licence
Reupload the image with an unlikely different licence and people will start asking hard questions of you.

I want to take revenge on Redvers
There's a queue.

I want to track Redvers down and kill him
