My ban from wikipedia Commons

I have been blocked with an expiry time of infinite (account creation disabled) on Wikipedia Commons by you. For uploading files without source/licensing after warnings. I did not get any warning from you that I was about to be blocked, did not get any change to responed to my block. So here it goes: File:3D animated flag Ukraine.gif was not a violation of copyright since I made it myself and realeased it under a free licence on wikipedia commons. I never deserved to get banned and I would apriaciate if you would lift my ban and restore my handmade File:3D animated flag Ukraine.gif, if not I'll try to get myself unblocked another way, not sure how cause unlike on this wikipedia I got no information on how to apeal to my ban... I assume you made your error in good faith. I only uploaded my file under the same name of an earlier deleted file because that way editors who had used the (flag)file on there pages would automaticly get the "flag" back on there pages. — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 18:45, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The block was not just for that, but if you promise me to stop uploading at this moment, I will lift the block at the Commons.

Alright, the first image said it came from http://3dflags.com/world/ukrainian/national_flag/classic_waving_clip_art.html. The license at http://3dflags.com/about/terms-of-use.html#link-back-media-license says "YOU MAY NOT ACTIVELY REDISTRIBUTE OR SUBLICENSE ANY OF OUR GRAPHICS OR DIGITAL MEDIA UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The Digital Media may not be used in any online or other electronic distribution system, such as an online gallery or collection of graphics and/or animated GIFs, including collections available on CD-ROM, BBS, FTP, WWW, IRC or any other transfer methods, and may not be sold, distributed, or sublicensed individually or as part of any image archive or collection product." The second image came from http://www.clipartdb.com/gif-ukraine-flags-3dclipart-862.htm but now I just noticed that it is also from the 3D flags site. It was deleted by a DR. The third image came from http://www.atlasgeo.net/flags/anglais/html/Eukraine.htm so it was a blatant copyvio. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 19:22, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have never visited http://www.atlasgeo.net/flags/anglais/html/Eukraine.htm... I made the file myself, of course it looks like other "waving Ukrainian flags", what did you expect? I do not understand why you present your above statment as the absolute truth since you can not see what websites I visit. Please start assuming good faith again. — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 19:29, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe you, frankly. I double checked the images and they are exactly the same, down to every last detail. The image will not be restored. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 03:44, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Even if what you say is true shouldn’t I get a 48 hour block instead of a infinite block? But I got a infinite block over a “waving Ukrainian flag”. That looks like complete overkill… I did never got any warning I was about to get blocked, thus you did not follow procedure. Please at least restore my account on Commons. — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 07:57, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I told you, the block was not just for the flag. There is a lot of uploads I saw that were deleted for copyright issues and for false licenses. I will not unblock you, but another user might. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 07:59, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing personal, I am just very harsh it when it comes to images. But as I said before, if you promise me to stop uploading to the Commons, the block will be lifted. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 18:08, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Armenian flag

Hi, what did you mean about the standard? Do you need the translation? Within the last months I gather material for the articles about Armenian carpet, so I was "lazy" in English Wiki. I do not know yet, when I will finish the article on Armenian carpet. But Please, write, what is needed, I will be helpful. Best wishes, --Zara-arush (talk) 11:39, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Liza Fernández Rodríguez

RE: this diff, for those of us who don't have OTRS access, could you put a note on the talk page explaining why this article has been semi-protected for so long? This is one of Wikipedia's longest semi-protected articles and prima facie, inappropriately so. Thanks, causa sui × 17:12, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ARC Weekly Top 40

I've noticed you delinking "ARC Weekly Top 40". Please don't do that: either ignore it or remove it completely. Removing the links to the dead article but leaving the reference to the bad chart makes it more difficult to remove references to the bad chart.—Kww(talk) 18:08, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TenPoundHammer is walking me through exactly what is needed, so I am dealing with that now. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 18:09, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your indefinite semi-protection of Liza Fernández Rodríguez

Hi there, could you please review Your indefinite semi-protection of Liza Fernández Rodríguez? I appreciate the BLP concerns, but it seemed excessive given only 1 episode of vandalism by 1 specific IP that could have been blocked instead. Thanks. 118.7.177.114 (talk) 21:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blocks on the IP would not have been possible at the time. I will rethink about the protection. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 02:34, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your indefinite semi-protection of Uniform display case

Hi there, could you please review Your indefinite semi-protection of Uniform display case? It seemed more like content dispute. Please unprotect. Thank you. 124.86.51.185 (talk) 03:23, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
