  • I see you are still uploading images by the dozen, despite being notified that the Policy has recently changed and that it is thus important that you re-read the Policy before doing any further editing. (Even I got that message, despite being the one who created it.)

    Does your uploading 17 images, today alone, really mean that you have (or will create) articles into which you are going to insert each and every one of those images? If not, then (as you would know if you had read the revised Policy) you are in breach of the Policy (article 11 as of this writing). This is an official warning — you risk a block if you continue in this fashion.

    • Sorry but it's these bloody articles they have some very interesting photos e.g. Paul Mccartney's boat.

    • Are you Ian678? If so, kindly log in before replying; if not, you shouldn't be presuming to reply on his behalf.

      And the facts remain that (1) I haven't seen any of these alleged "new articles" (although I check Recent Changes regularly), and (2) one of the issues here is if we have any right to post these images on our wiki (the answer, in the case of most images found on the web, is "no").

    • You are still uploading images pointlessly (without any thought of adding them to articles), despite the warning nearly a year ago. (Some of them may have been useful for articles, but if so, those were virtually impossible to find amidst the vast flood of others.) At least one wasn't even anything to do with the Beatles; it was some nonsense about Geri Halliwell of the Spice Gits.

      More seriously, you are still uploading files in breach of copyright (such as that Sgt. Pepper movie from YouTube, whose rights owner explicitly forbids such an action), although this has been a crime under UK law since 1 January 1989 (that being when the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 was enacted).

      Hence I have had no choice but to block you, and purge all those unused images (over 800 of them). (I suspect that the purge may not have run to completion, in which case I will have to re-run it until it finally removes all the unwanted files.) Once the block expires, kindly check the Policy pages (all three of them) again before doing anything else.
