I reverted to the version as it existed when the last protection was applied. It's probably the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wrong_Version wrong version] because it always is from someone's perspective.

Mildly, you left the other editor a message an hour before posting here. They havent edited since and may have logged off for the day. In these circumstances it's not reasonable to write them off as "no reply." :::In any case the correct course now is to resolve the content dispute in the article by presenting your argument on the article talk page. You've said the the image is irrelevant and the caption false, but it won't get changed simply on your assertion. If you have any [[WP:RS\|reliable secondary sources]] to support those claims then post them to the article talkpage and they can be reviewed by other editors. If a consensus of other editors agrees with you, the images will likely be left out. :::In the interim the protection helps prevent an ongoing edit war. It can be lifted if a consensus is reached.
