Your addition to California University of Management and Sciences has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia: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—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. The image you added to the article appears to be a copyright violation, and has been nominated for deletion at Wikimedia Commons. 823510731 (talk) 01:45, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please STOP adding that image to the article, as it is clearly a copyright violation, and that can cause significant legal problems for Wikipedia. Please read the links in the message above, and please to not make any more edits until you have done so and you understand why violating copyright is such a serious problem. If you add that image back again, you will stand a very good chance of having your account blocked from editing. 823510731 (talk) 19:06, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Let me be a little more specific: When you uploaded the file you claimed it as your own work and that you took the photograph on 10 November 2015. However, the Metadata/EXIF assigns the authorship to "TIGER LEE" and the copyright to "LKi201", and indicates that the image was created in 2013. If you do, in fact, personally own the copyright, or the owner wishes to release it with suitable permission, then that discrepancy must be resolved before you can use the image on Wikipedia. Please use the deletion discussion page on Commons for relevant discussion, and please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials to learn how the owner can release it. 823510731 (talk) 19:13, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You have put it back again, with something about the size of the image this time. It's nothing to do with the size, it's because it is a COPYRIGHT VIOLATION, which means you cannot add it at any size. As you have repeatedly ignored what you are being told and are repeatedly reinserting the same image, I have asked for admin assistance and you may be blocked. 823510731 (talk) 20:20, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Hi, I really don't know why you were sending your responses to my messages to User:Crystallizedcarbon, but I see you have posted the following two responses at their talk page:

"Thank you for your concern about my picture for CALUMS. Since I just start using Wikipedia, I didn't know how it runs. I am the official person from the University and we have ownership of the picture. Tiger Lee, the photographer, took the picture for us two years ago"
"Thank you for your advise but we own the picture. I don't need anymore action to have permission to use it, do I?"

The thing is, your upload asserted that the photograph was your own personal work, and that is simply not true. If somebody else took the photograph for you and the rights to it were assigned to your organization, then you need to provide evidence of that as explained in Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. You have had that explicitly pointed out to twice already, yet you have continued to ignore it and to reinstate the image into the article. If you wish to be unblocked, you will need to convince an admin that you are listening to what you are being told, that you have read and understood that policy, and that you will not add the image to the article again without pursuing the appropriate procedure for assuring us that it has been released by the original photographer as explained in that link. 823510731 (talk) 21:54, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PS: You only need to reply here as I'm watching, there's no need to go looking for my own (or anybody else's) talk page. 823510731 (talk) 22:13, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I understand. It sounds like I didn't know the common rule to follow. Thanks.
