Your addition to Britney Spears has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Traveltoromantis (talk) 21:57, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello. The image you have added to the lead section of Britney Spears is unsuitable for a number of reasons. It is not a recent image and is nearly three years old, the image does not show the singer's features clearly, and Spears is not the sole subject in the image. Furthermore, there is an image available which is recent as of less than two months, Spears shown clearly, and she is is by herself. I hope this can be resolved as to avoid an edit war. Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Britney Spears. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sundayclose (talk) 01:17, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
