Non-Free images
Please stop adding copyrighted photos to articles, as you did with Tex Winter and James Ennis (basketball). It's against Wikipedia rules and illegal as well. Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 13:32, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Please do not continue to upload files with missing or false information on their copyright status, as you did with James Ennis (basketball). Please note that Wikipedia takes copyright and copyright infringement very seriously. Images and other media may only be uploaded and included if they meet the conditions stated in our image use policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. Rikster2 (talk) 19:44, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you upload a media file with false or missing copyright or source information, as you did at Tex Winter, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Enough. You now are well aware of image policies. Stop uploading other people's work. Rikster2 (talk) 19:49, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
