I need help with removing a copyright tag and uploading an image to improve an article please. Would like to get in touch with an administrator, copyright specialist, or an ORTS agent for guidance. Thank you!

Major parts of the Malek Jandali article are copied verbatim from this website. That's a copyright violation. I have thus re-added the copyright tag. The article will have to be rewritten significantly to remove those pieces of copied content; we should summarize in our own words what the sources have to say about Jandali. Before that is done, the copyright tag should not be removed.

Uploading an image is also a question of copyright. Did you take the image yourself, do you own the copyright? Are you willing to irrevocably release the image under a free license so that everybody can modify and re-use it for any purpose, including commercial purposes? Then you can upload it to the Wikimedia Commons via their Upload Wizard. If someone else owns the copyright (likely the photographer), then that person would have to explicitly release the image under a free license. See WP:Requesting copyright permission on how to request a permission. If the image isn't freely licensed then likey it cannot be used on Wikipedia. Huon (talk) 05:51, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

username concern

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Wikileekpediamonitor", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it suggests some sort of official role here at Wikipedia. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 10:46, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because this username falsely implies a link between Wikileaks and Wikipedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information).

We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames, nor is trolling or other disruptive behavior ever tolerated. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} on your user talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
