Mandalynn Carlson GettyImages

On the media gallery for Mandalynn Carlson (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3796165/) there are quite some photos with a very clear GettyImages watermark on it. I know I can submit a deletion request for them and I do this in cases where it concerns less than 10 faulty pictures, but I feel it is more useful if a staffer would contact the person who added these photos to point them toward the guide for this kind of stuff. (https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/images-videos/image-guidelines/G27LPBQZA7EAZGJW?ref_=help...#, where it says "We do not allow the following: Images displaying third-party ownership or branding, such as watermarks. Watermarks of the title's creators, such as the production company or TV channel, are acceptable")


Also, given the sheer number of photos that shouldn't have been accepted in the first place as well as the fact that this problem has occurred to several titles and name pages as well (see https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/tehmina-sunny-gettyimages/619a6ea215beef01e753cf4b , https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/barney-miller-gettyimages/616cb7c8cd6ade3bf419161b , https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/gemita-samarra-gettyimages/6150921b61ce8f5a6f1b53c5  ,   https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/the-fugitive-series-gettyimages/6148a1fc61ce8f5a6f19977c  ,  https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/natasia-demetriou-gettyimages/61006a3604219236a14638da ,  https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/texaco-star-theatre-starring-milton-berle-gettyimages/60f5f7c29aff7e729198b1c2 ,  https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/kathryn-newton-gettyimages/60956adb758f933b8d5650b2  ,   https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/carla-renata-gettyimages/608f2693f5cc1541df887557  ,  https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/peter-pan-gettyimages/6070d846a9d33801cdb5edf0  ,   https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/leave-it-to-beaver-gettyimages/604514a632c631317bb7a378 ,   https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/the-jack-benny-program-gettyimages/5fb03b2f7fd3a810dc2dcd1b , https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/mark-allen-gettyimages, https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/toast-of-the-town-gettyimageshttps://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/help-gettyimageshttps://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/laverne-shirley-gettyimages , https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/happy-days-gettyimages, and https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/mork-and-mindy-gettyimages ), I feel it's IMDb's duty to clean up this mess.

Hi Marco -

Thanks for reporting these ineligible images, I have now removed them all and reached out to the claimed page owner to confirm our Image policy regarding watermarked images.

Thanks again!
