Hi, Geo. When you upload a group of images with watermarks like you did recently (e.g. [[:File:51 Division - Toronto Police Building NE corner of Front and Parliament.jpg]]), please crop the images before or immediately after the upload. As a project, Commons is drowning in images that need watermarks removed (the backlog is current more than 50,000+ files, and it keeps growing). In the case of these images, it is inappropriate for Wikimedia Commons to be hosting spam watermarks promoting a fitness website. Having said that, they are good images to have on the project if they could be cropped. At a minimum, please tag them with {{tl|crop}} (technically, we should be using {{tl|watermark}}, but given the backlog they'd just end up in watermark hell - since most of these images would logically have the watermarks removed by cropping a slice off the bottom, the crop tag works in these limited circumstances). Thanks for your understanding. Cheers. --[[User:Skeezix1000|Skeezix1000]] ([[User talk:Skeezix1000|talk]]) 20:02, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
