Removal of image from Prairie dog articles
Hi there. What issue do you have with the inclusion of this image on these pages? The licensing appears to be in order and the image is a nice one!  Nik the  stoned  16:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

The licensing is NOT in order, this image has NEVER been available under CC and Wikipedia have been warned that they face legal proceedings for theft and copyright violation.


 * OK, calm down a little, I'm only attempting to help and deleting images from pages with little explanation is not the best way to go about this! Please see this page on getting copyright violations removed. It's as easy as that  Nik the  stoned  16:32, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

My image has been stolen and you expect me to spend all day reading the instructions for removal? I have emailed Wikipedia and deleted the image from all pages, except the commons page because I can't delete it from there. I should not have to be doing any of this - if the licence was properly checked in the first place you would have known it was not for reuse in any form. Wikipedia should be paying me for use of the image, and for the time wasted in trying to get it removed. I will be seeking legal advice and compensation.


 * Well, the link I provided does supply the correct email address to send such complaints to also. Apologies for attempting to assist you!  Nik the  stoned  17:11, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved. Nyttend (talk) 04:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)


 * A word of advice. If you decide that taking legal action is unlikely to succeed, you may like to consider the following alternative approach.
 * 1) State here unequivocally that you have dropped any intention of taking legal action.
 * 2) Request an unblock.
 * 3) Explain, in a friendly and civil manner, that you never intended to make the image available for public reuse, but somehow or other managed to freely license it by mistake. Ask if the image can be deleted. I can't promise you success, but you will stand a much better chance of getting what you want that way than by accusing people of theft, posting demands that it "MUST be removed IMMEDIATELY", and threatening legal action.
