Microtoerisme has kindly donated thousands of educational images from microtoerisme.nl, and it would be of great benefit to this Wikiproject if there were a consensus of how they can express the facts on their user page, without a remorseless bad faith series of accusations of being a spammer. I have attempted to intervene, but have been accused of being so ignorant of the Dutch language that I am not qualified to express an opinion on what is spam and what is not on Commons, so I have brought the matter here to build a wider and positive consensus of how best to handle this. Thanks --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 12:55, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

:Hi, Jan contacted me through e-mail after I voiced my disdain from the whole blocking debacle on his talk page. I've offered to create a template similar to the one used by the Tropenmuseum (see for example [[:File:Tropenmuseum-Lichthal_leeg.jpg|here]]). He is considering resuming uploading of watermark-free photographs if there is some sort of peace gesture from the community. I can't remember how I came across this issue, but I'm glad I did. We might find occasion to meet at a [http://nl.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiZaterdag WikiZaterdat]. I'm coordinating an OTRS ticket with [[User:Edoderoo|Edo]] --[[User:1Veertje|Vera]] ([[User talk:1Veertje|talk]]) 14:43, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

::So if I'm not mistaken, Microtoerisme won't stop uploading, but will stop adding watermarks to their files? There are some great files so that's perfectly fine, but adding watermarks saying: ''gratis stadswandelingen & fietsroutes - www.microtoerisme.nl'' (meaning: ''free city walks and bicycle routes - www.microtoerisme.nl'' is indeed pure advertisement.
