 * You are obviously not the owner of the 20th Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery's emblem and those other photos you added look like Defence PR images. Nick-D (talk) 09:53, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Please do not add unsourced content like you are at 20th Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery. Wikipedia requires information to be sourced to reliable sources in order to ensure verifiability. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 08:35, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Please stop adding unreferenced content, and removing references as you are at 20th Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery. Continuing to edit in this fashion is disruptive. If you have references that support your information, please add them to the article. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 10:16, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Apologies for any hassle or confusion caused - I am a member of the Regt tasked with updating the site. Clearly, I am new to Wikipedia. Thank you for your patience and assistance. Will heed your advice.
 * Yet you have continued to edit war copyright violating images into the article. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. I'd suggest that you review WP:COI and WP:COPYRIGHT before asking to be unblocked per the instructions below. Nick-D (talk) 10:43, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Additionally, as you are a member of the Regt, you've also been violating WP:COI and would need to agree to refrain from any further direct edits to that article and to any others for which you have a conflict of interest. --Yamla (talk) 11:10, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk page access revoked
As you violated copyright by illicitly copying content while attempting to justify your understanding of copyright, I have revoked your talk page access. This leaves you with WP:UTRS if you wish to be unblocked. I strongly suggest not violating copyright if you contact them. Note also that you indicated you plan to continue violating WP:COI if unblocked. That is also unacceptable. --Yamla (talk) 15:05, 17 January 2020 (UTC)


 * As a note, the person who has been using this account, or someone indistinguishable from them has been evading the block via Nick-D (talk) 22:36, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * And again, as . This user is now in danger of an indefinite ban under WP:3X. --Yamla (talk) 13:41, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
