You have permission to use this content. Why was it removed?

If your page has been removed in error, you have the option of contacting the claimant directly with their removal request or submitting a counterclaim.
Before submitting a counterclaim, you should ask yourself a few questions to make sure it's a valid dispute:
- Are you the copyright owner of the work?
- Do you have permission from the appropriate copyright owner(s) of all third-party materials used in the work?
- Can any use of copyrighted material by you be construed as fair use, fair practice or eligible for an exception under applicable copyright law?
If any of the above conditions apply to your content, you should research or consult an attorney for the most appropriate dispute process. If not, you may be violating copyright laws.

This is something that you will have to research and manage on your own or with the help of a lawyer.
