Appeal the revert
Ais523 reverted a page for a cruel reason.
Oh, and I forgot that Ais523 was blocked from editing. Unname4798 17:04, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- its not necesarily cruel. "cruel" is a word that is not to be passed around. it must ONLY be used to describe the worst things on earth. the reason is horrible, not cruel. tommyaweosme 14:16 (chicago time) august 4

It probably isn't a good idea to test the boundaries of the rules like that – pretty much all it does is annoy the admins.
Legally speaking, performing a sufficient amount of manipulation on an image can cause it to no longer be copyrighted, if enough of the original becomes irrelevant in the process, and that image almost certainly counts.
On the other hand, the image is offtopic, and there is no actually good reason to create an image like that other than testing the boundaries of the rules/law – Unname4798's version achieves the same visual result in a more sensible way, and I'd recommend doing things that way instead for images in the future. I may end up deleting the image, not for copyright reasons, but because it's being used to probe the boundaries of the rules rather than for a reason that contributes to the wiki or to documenting esoteric programming.
It's also a bad idea to try to test the rules like that in the future – most people don't know where the boundary between "copyrighted" and "not copyrighted" lies, and in many cases it needs a court and judge to decide (because the politicians who write copyright laws are bad at comprehensively covering all possible cases), so in practice most tests have to be deleted as a precaution even if they're anywhere close to the line, because nobody's entirely sure where the line actually is. (Besides, "testing the boundaries of the rules" isn't something that contributes to the wiki's main purpose of documenting esolangs, so it tends to annoy the admins, and they're more likely to fully block people rather than just placing partial blocks when they're annoyed.) --ais523 20:39, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- the first example of someone using an image for unary! tommyaweosme 20:46, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Copyright violation
Please don't upload files that are based on files found elsewhere on the Internet – doing so is typically illegal because the files are copyrighted. (Inverting the colours and flipping the non-text portions of the image upside-down isn't enough of a change to prevent the image being copyrighted.) --ais523 23:26, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- but its a mediawiki image 23:46, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's copyrighted. The images on Wikimedia Commons can be used under certain licensing conditions, but they are still copyrighted and thus can't be used on a public domain site. (They can't be used on other sites either, unless you comply with the conditions, which can be quite complicated to comply with sometimes. Here are the conditions for the image you tried to upload – they include requirements like attribution and licensing back changes, and any requirements at all are sufficient to prevent the image being public domain.)
- On another note, your signature is making your comments very difficult to read, and putting excess emphasis on your username rather than your comment. It's likely to cause most readers to ignore everything you post, because it attracts attention away from it. --ais523 23:51, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
