On the one hand some of these images are potentially useful, though making any of them usable will require effort in removing the watermark. On the other hand, such a blatant application of a promotional watermark could fall under the heading of promotion/advertising and they could ALL be deleted as such. That said, this sort of thing is hardly an isolated practice. Uploaders by the dozen figure they are going to promote themselves into the Promised Land by uploading watermarked images to Commons. '''The bigger question is where we stand on the watermark issue in general.''' Do we allow watermarks or don't we? There is a viewpoint either way. It would be nice if we collectively make up our minds one way or another and either put up with them or delete them on sight. This selective piecemeal crap is no way to run things. – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 19:42, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

:A watermark is not generally bad, even with a website adress. It depends on size and placement. The images I deleted were actually a no-go and also rather small res images of questionable quality. --[[User:Denniss|Denniss]] ([[User talk:Denniss|talk]]) 21:12, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
