:I might mention that a LOT of images get uploaded here that contain a watermark explicitly advertising a web site. The difference being maybe just in the sheer volume of images from a single uploader. To the uploader of these images... watermarks, for all practical purposes, are not allowed on Commons. Though whether by design or by neglect, Commons is rather weak and unclear in telling you this. Your "offense" is as much our fault as yours, in my opinion. Also, many many hours of editor time is going to be wasted removing all those watermarks. There are better ways to attribute yourself other than plastering a watermark all over uploaded images. And arguably, those images are ''less'' likely to be used ''anywhere'' simply because they do contain such a watermark. – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 16:28, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
