Thanks for uploading File:R.P.School Malabagh Logo.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.
Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the project, one or more of your file uploads had missing or false information regarding its source and copyright status. Please note that Wikimedia Commons takes copyright rules and infringement very seriously. Files may only be uploaded and included if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our licensing policy, and if their source is clearly documented. Files that fail to meet those conditions may be deleted, and users who fail to meet them may be blocked. Please follow our first steps, if you haven't already. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the Village Pump copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you.
Thanks for uploading File:Imambara Zadibal on Ashura 1445 2023.png. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).
The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Imambara Zadibal on Ashura 1445 2023.png]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful.
This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions.
Can i upload images from google maps? What if i provide authors name, website from which i got it? What copyright do i have to choose? User.inu6 (talk) 12:18, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
No, the majority of the websites are NOT OK to upload from. See COM:NETCOPYVIO. In addition, providing the author's name and website is mandatory. Providing false information will result in your upload being deleted quickly. 0x0a (talk) 14:04, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing Commons. The reason for the block is available in the block log as is the name of the administrator who blocked you. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may add {{Unblock}} below this message explaining clearly why you should be unblocked. For more information, see Appealing a block.
This blocked user asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without discussion.
Request reason: "You provided me a last warning but still blocked me. i want a last warning that you mentioned about. so please consider to unblock me, i will be sure not to upload any file that is subjected to copyright. I will delete all the copyrighted files which i have uploaded"
Decline reason: "COM:BP asks an understanding of the issue and a credible commitment to discontinue. Neither are on offer; to the contrary, this has the appearance of gaming. The aforementioned block policy requires only that an admin "ensure that the user has been appropriately warned"; there is no requirement that a final warning template be used or considered. Verily, as of 10:42, 21 July 2024, the time of your most recent deleted upload: you had indeed received a dedicated warningand the phrase "Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing" (bold original, underline added) appeared eleven times (!!!). You absolutely had been "appropriately warned". This request, further, does not demonstrate an understanding of the issue (there is, for example, nothing wrong with a "file that is subjected to copyright"--most Commons files are copyrighted) and thus there is no credible commitment to discontinue. Эlcobbolatalk 14:30, 24 July 2024 (UTC)"
Administrators: This template should be removed when the block has expired.

We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.
