Hello, I have started a review on Boyd Exell and I was disappointed to learn that the original photo has a large watermark on it. I (or someone else) will need to verify the licenses and check if they are suitable or not on Wikipedia. I am worried about the copyright logo in the image.
I think free images should not be watermarked and I am not 100 percent certain about the correct license of the photo. I also noticed the editor cropped the image, now the watermark is gone in the article itself. Thanks.

I initially wanted to nominate it for deletion but needed some advice about this image because of the (c) logo, and the photographer categorizes it as CC BY-SA 2.0.

I'm generally hesitant to give advice on image copyright - it's a complex area.

Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Wikipedia articles are not owned by the subject/company they are about. There is no such thing as the "administrator of an article". Wikipedia articles are open to every editor, with one notable exception - editors with a COI, like you, are strongly discouraged from editing the page directly per our policies. You should instead make suggestions on the talk page. If you have questions about how this works, I encourage you to read the plain and simple COI guide here. You can also ask me. —Ganesha811 (talk) 17:49, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241106174900","author":"Ganesha811","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ganesha811-20241106174900-Rochellepaulet-20241106172700","replies":["c-Rochellepaulet-20241106175300-Ganesha811-20241106174900"]}}-->

Wikipedia can't enforce court orders - you'd have to ask the court to step in. Your edits were mostly benign, but had a promotional tone and unencyclopedic language. This is the problem with COI edits - marketing-speak just can't help being non-neutral and unencyclopedic. You can use the WP:Edit request wizard to make requests for changes on the talk page, which other editors without a COI will then review. —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:58, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241106185800","author":"Ganesha811","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Ganesha811-20241106185800-Rochellepaulet-20241106175300","replies":["c-Rochellepaulet-20241106222400-Ganesha811-20241106185800"]}}-->

No problem, I'm happy to help. It's fine for you guys to use the EPA's approved wording in your own marketing, but Wikipedia is not a marketing tool.
