I don't think you properly inspected the images I replaced from the examples I gave you, because your assertion is wrong. Only this image was from the user you're speaking of, Jcardo. And he did not ask me to replace it. This other image had been uploaded by Lord Crayak. This one had been uploaded by U-Foes Fan. This one had been uploaded by Sunspot75. And this final one had been uploaded by Jasonmaia.

Since you're adamant that this is something that I've only done to you, I'll provide more examples. Here is an image I replaced that had been originally uploaded by DoNConoscente. Here is an image I replaced that had been originally uploaded by Pijuyo2. I have even replaced images from fellow staff members, like this image originally uploaded by MysteryScooby, or originally uploaded by Nurdboy42. I even often replace images like this one that had originally been uploaded by none other than myself.

I'm sorry if you felt your contributions were undervalued because they were replaced with better versions, but that's how a community-led project works. It doesn't matter who does something, but that that something is in the best condition it can be. If I can find a better version of the image to upload with better resolution and better framing, I will do it. The same way I've had history texts I added overwritten by users that delivered the same information with better vocabulary and grammar. I don't resent them, because I know that working as part of a community like is the Marvel Database is not about ego.

I will admit that a few of the versions I replaced your images with had very minor changes, but others improved greatly on the framing of the subject, like the image for Pyro, Avalanche, Spider-Man, Falcon and The Thing, among others. However, you had no reason to act petty and go on a revert war. The actions you took afterwards only made the situation worse. You blanked the pages despite the fact nothing else about them had been altered, and accused us of breaking FANDOM's ToS simply for restoring your vandalism. Then you went ahead and blanked one of our most popular pages out of spite simply because it's for my favorite character.

I warned you about continuing with your problematic behavior, but I was only met with a barrage of insults and accusations that really hurt me. We are going to be firm about our decision to block you; being a good contributor doesn't balance out bad behavior and no amount of good contributions will give you a free pass from the consequences of that. That's a principle I stand by and I will hold any person to it, no matter if they're somebody who has edited for a day or ten years, no matter if they're a regular contributor or a staff member, and I'd expect to be held to that principle as well if I ever did something unbecoming.

Simply because we stand firm in our decision doesn't mean it was easy to make. Like I already told you a few days ago, I respected you as a contributor, so your absence will be a loss to the site and I really wish things hadn't gone this way. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Goodbye.
