Wikipedia is not an art repository
I agree with the other editors that your personal art doesn't add anything to any of the articles you added the images too. OhNo itsJamie Talk 19:40, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

There is a ton of art on Wikipedia. it is a wonderful repository for art. I understand your position of disagreement with my view that the images I posted to replace a previous image were adding to the article. But I do not understand how there is an issue with me creating content for pages without images and uploading the image. Would it be different if I were a photographer and was taking photographs for the page? Wikipedia is not a place for the personal opinions of the value painting vs photography. I am simply using my skillset to expand the breadth and content of Wikipedia. --Benjamincookart (talk) 21:24, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * There is very little user-generated art on Wikipedia. User illustrations, yes, but not "art" for cases where a photograph is readily available. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 21:44, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

what makes a photograph "non art?" Also, what gives a photograph a hierarchy over a painting when it comes to an article's image? is there a rule of Wikipedia that states that or is this just your opinion?--Benjamincookart (talk) 00:19, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Final warning
You should see by now that there is a clear WP:CONSENSUS against your additions so far. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing. OhNo itsJamie Talk 00:53, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

As stated on Wikipedia's guidelines for posting images. It explicitely states that the use of paintings are okay.

"Images should look like what they are meant to illustrate, whether or not they are provably authentic. For example, a photograph of a trompe-l'œil painting of a cupcake may be an acceptable image for Cupcake, but a real cupcake that has been decorated to look like something else entirely is less appropriate. Similarly, an image of a generic-looking cell under a light microscope might be useful on multiple articles, as long as there are no visible differences between the cell in the image and the typical appearance of the cell being illustrated."

Additionally, the creation and use of my own content for an article is permitted:

"Making images yourself [edit] For further information, see: Commons:How to take pictures and Graphics tutorials You may upload photographs, drawings, or other graphics created with a camera, scanner, graphics software, and so on. When photographing or scanning potentially copyrighted works, or creating depictions of persons other than yourself, be sure to respect copyright and privacy restrictions.[further explanation needed]

In order to maximize images' usefulness in all languages, avoid including text within them. Instead, add text, links, references, etc., to images using Template:Annotated image or Template:Annotated image 4, which can also be used to expand the area around an image or crop and enlarge part of an image—all without the need for uploading a new, modified image."

I understand the consensus is against me. That doesn’t make what i am doing wrong. --Benjamincookart (talk) 01:13, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

I do not believe that I am in any violation of protocol or policy and would request that you resolve our dispute in arbitration before removing my editing ability.

good. I included an image on a page with no image and had it take down. The image fully complies with Wiki policy and protocol. As stated on Wikipedia's guidelines for posting images. It explicitely states that the use of paintings are okay.

"Images should look like what they are meant to illustrate, whether or not they are provably authentic. For example, a photograph of a trompe-l'œil painting of a cupcake may be an acceptable image for Cupcake, but a real cupcake that has been decorated to look like something else entirely is less appropriate.

Orphaned non-free image File:Digital image of a painting of a Belle and Sebastian album cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Digital image of a painting of a Belle and Sebastian album cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:31, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
