Copyright block
You have been blocked from editing indefinitely in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating copyright policy by copying images onto Wikipedia from other sources without verifying permission and with explicit, false assertions that they are your own. If you wish to continue contributing, please take this opportunity to be sure you understand Wikipedia's copyright policy and its policies regarding non-free content. Given that you explicitly claimed to have taken photographs yourself that were published elsewhere on the internet (see ), I believe that this account should not be unblocked without good reason to believe that you will follow copyright policy henceforth or without some other safeguard to protect the project, such as a prohibition against adding images. If you believe this block is unjustified or if you believe that you can resume constructive contribution, you may contest the block by adding the text  below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

 * Another administrator will respond to your unblock request. In response to your questions, file:adishakti.jpg was deleted as a derivative work of . File:Tigliari.PNG was deleted as a derivative work of (it looks as though strips were cut and pasted into a whole). You have been advised in the past, here, when previously blocked for copyright infringement that you cannot duplicate material from websites or other sources without verifying permission. In that notice, you were told that you needed to understand and comply with the copyright policy. That policy explains even more explicitly that you must verify permission and how. Your claim to have actually taken the photographs for File:Devishetty.jpg and File:Ashishballalathishone.jpg is difficult to understand, given their previous publication at  and . This does not seem like you thought such images had no copyright. Do you still assert that you were the photographer of those images, that the first was "an image of dr devi prasad shetty shot by me during a ceremony at the bunt sangha meeting in Bangalore" and the second " an image taken from a mobile phone camera by me near his home at bangalore.this image is completely owned by me and is free to use"? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Another contributor has just pointed out to me that, well after you received the notice I've linked above, you also pasted text from other websites. For example, this series from July of 2009 introduced text that was published several years ago at, with a notice reading "No part of this Internet site may be reproduced without prior written permission of the copyright holder." You should have been well aware that this text could not be used on Wikipedia without verification of such permission. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I think we are being too. harsh on PrinceofDark. He is new to Wikipedia. People do have trouble initially. I have seen some excellent encyclopedic contributions from him. He has been an excellent editor. I suggest giving one more chance, with all due respect to all Wikipolicies. Kensplanet TC 17:25, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This particular policy exists to protect Wikipedia from legal jeopardy; it is not one to be lightly pushed aside. If we allow a contributor to continue working on Wikipedia in full knowledge that he has violated United States copyright law repeatedly on Wikipedia, we may well share some of the blame if he resumes. For this reason, I believe it's very prudent to be cautious before unblocking. This is this contributor's second block for copyright infringement. His unblock request is difficult to take on face value, when he indicates that "most of the images i uploaded were by unknown authors so i thought they were not copyrighted" but his upload summaries suggest that rather he may have misstated the origins intentionally to prevent the copyright infringement being detected. An unblock request that claims that infringement was done innocently is hard to interpret as honest intention to reform when behavioral evidence suggests he might have known that the material could not be placed here. Perhaps there is a good explanation for this; certainly, the contributor's answer would be welcome. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:49, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Kawdoortuluva.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Kawdoortuluva.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

PLEASE NOTE:
