Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights.

Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

[edit]Please stop uploading images - you are claiming "own work" on images where you clearly do not own the copyright. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 20:01, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Cross-posted from User talk:Ponyo: Please don't go around removing the photos! Photos are public they are copyright so stop touching whatever I do! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Diorlova (talk • contribs) 16:26, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- The images may be available to view on your computer, but they are copyright protected by the photographers, firms, or websites that host them. Unless you took the photo yourself you cannot claim "own work" as you continue to do. Editors who repeatedly upload copyright violations after being sufficiently warned will be blocked; you need to stop and read Wikipedia's policies regarding copyright.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 16:40, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
