Copyrighted images[edit]

Hi, the below warnings are about the images you uploaded claiming they are your own work/you own the copyright. As they are available from the link you posted, and are credited to "KIPhotography", we need you to send an email to OTRS confirming that this is you. If that information is not received, the images will be deleted. There is a link in the templates below which will guide you through the steps of sending a permission email.

If you are not KIPhotography, can you please refrain from uploading images that are not your own work/in the public domain.

Thanks. -- Deadstar (msg) 10:15, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

I see OTRS permission is added - thanks for the quality images! -- Deadstar (msg) 09:54, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
