I was just scanning the watermarks discussion above yesterday about watermarks being used to advertise, and then today someone comes along and adds Getty Images links in the discussion page of two images I uploaded: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_talk:Marissa_Mayer_at_TechCrunch_2011_I.jpg here] for example. It seemed to ring a familiar bell—are we advertising for Getty images now? – Kerαunoςcopia^◁[[:en:User:Keraunoscopia|gala]][[:User talk:Keraunoscopia|xies]] 20:15, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

:I would have said "well that's regular ole advertisement spam if I ever saw me some" but then I saw the username, a well-known contributor to Commons. My second thought was "wow, that's a sophisticated Trojan"... but then it seems the user has only two such edits. I.e. Trojan infestation not so likely. What's going on?? --[[User:Pitke|Pitke]] ([[User talk:Pitke|talk]]) 20:53, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
