Your edit to Rifle has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. 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 very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. You are not authorized to license the image taken from this webpage as CC-BY-SA as you are not the copyright holder for that work. If you continue to violate copyright you will be blocked from editing without further warning. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 02:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission, as you did at PGM Ultima Ratio. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 05:28, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I hold the rights to the photos published, as they are mine. ElliottVFR (talk) 08:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

That's not what is indicated on the website they are published on, that website indicates the copyright of its content is held by the website. If that's not the case, you'll need to work that out with the website. If it's your website, you will need to change its copyright to explicitly state that you release the images with a copyright permitting their reuse by anyone for any purpose with attribution. 331dot (talk) 09:32, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I took these photos myself. ElliottVFR (talk) 08:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the section header formatting; edits should be placed in the larger edit window, not the smaller section header/edit summary window. You can avoid creating section headers entirely by clicking "edit" and not "add topic" or "new section". 331dot (talk) 09:32, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not find it believable that you took those photos yourself. However if you did, that would imply that you're an employee of PGM Precision, editing content for which you have a conflict of interest using multiple undisclosed accounts. Can you explain what, if any, relationship you have with PGM Precision? ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 17:13, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
