:{{vk}} I'm more ambivalent on this. I was the one that sorted these out into a 'watermarked' category; if the photographer has complained, then yes, I'd let these go. However for those particularly interested in horse breeds, some of these may be worth a bit of time digitally restoring. As the watermark is the same across all these, it would not be hard to create a mask that could be used across many of the files. I would draw a comparison with my recent category [[:Category:Ministry of Information Second World War colour transparencies (watermarked)|Ministry of Information Second World War colour transparencies (watermarked)]], this has 45 photographs from WWII, important due to how rare colour photographs were from the period and the fact that they include some good quality portraits of senior military figures. I am not planning to fix all these myself, but it really does not matter if only a small proportion end up being used, or if digital restoration does not happen for a couple of years, the point is that they have reasonable potential use for educational purposes and we should not be acting in haste on photographs that fall within [[COM:scope|scope]]. --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 08:45, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
