I'm smart and don't get it.
[edit]I got a message that I am blocked indefinitely from Wiki Commons. I don't know why. This is an unfriendly reception for my first upload. I thought Wiki was democratic. I feel most unwelcome. I know it's not me, but a policy. I didn't think Wiki makes people feel bad but this is my experience so far. Maybe someone can explain what great thing I did wrong to be blocked. I can see my upload being deleted if it doesn't fit. What is ironic is that I wanted to upload on wikipedia and I got a message my material belongs on Wiki Commons.
- Apologies - templates are rather unfriendly - I reversed the block almost the moment I made it as I realised I was wrong. The scope of this project is simply media for use elsewhere. A tiff file which is simply a text bio is not necessary as it is text and so can be typed in without any copyright issues. Your user page - while maybe interesting - was completely outside our scope. Articles - if appropriate - should be on Wikipedia. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 07:49, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
- Plus - I am watching this page so feel free to post here if you wish and I will see it and respond. --Herby talk thyme 07:57, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
