Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 10:25, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you for removing the block. I will make sure and remove watermarks from my images.  And thank you also for changing my username. I'm afraid I was ignorant about the possibility of a conflict caused by my old username. I will undertake removal of my two watermarked images from wiki commons.
