Caption on a photo
Hi- this is regarding this edit and others similar to it. Photos on Wikipedia have credits already; they are on the image itself, and the photographer has released the image (typically under Creative Commons).

To quote the Manual of Style: "Unless relevant to the subject, do not credit the image author or copyright holder in the article. It is assumed that this is not necessary to fulfill attribution requirements of the GFDL or Creative Commons licenses as long as the appropriate credit is on the image description page. If the artist or photographer is independently notable, though, then a wikilink to the artist's biography may be appropriate."

If it's your photo and you don't want it used without blatant credits, it's probably worth removing the image from Wikipedia (though it was given away, so it might still be usable by Wikipedia- I don't know, actually). tedder (talk) 23:51, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * At least as importantly, once another editor undoes or disputes your edit, you must not simply un-undo it, but rather discuss to get a WP:CONSENSUS. The alternative, edit-warring, is strictly prohibited on wikipedia. The other editor even used edit-summaries explaining his position and left comments here on your talk-page to try to get the discussion rolling...doesn't reflect well on you to ignore that effort on his part.

Your recent editing history shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

Blocked
I've blocked this account for 24 hours for disruptive editing. I'm not sure you are aware of your talk page, so now would be a good time to get familar with the threads posted above. Credit for images is given on the image's page. The credit for the specific image you are concerned about is at File:Centennial_High_School_Compton_Calif.jpg. Please do not edit the caption back in.--v/r - TP 00:52, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
