There was little point in erasing my closing comment for the subject DR -- it will not get the image restored and constitutes vandalism under our rules. If you do similar things in the future, you may be blocked from editing on Commons.
You may request restoration of the image at Commons:Undeletion requests, but I doubt that such a request will be successful. You apparently lifted the image off of the University's Web site without permission and there is no evidence of a free license on the site.
I note that all five of your uploads have been deleted because they are copyright violations. On some of them you claimed that you were the photographer when that does not appear to be correct. On others you admitted that you took them from Web sites, but there is no evidence at the source of a free license or permission.
You may claim "own work" only if you yourself are the actual photographer. In any other case, you must name the actual source of the images and provide evidence that they are freely licensed.
If you continue to upload images made by others that are not freely licensed, you may be blocked from editing on Commons. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 00:13, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
