Peter Pan GettyImages

On the media gallery for Peter Pan (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0287870/mediaindex/) there are quite some photos with a very clear GettyImages watermark on it. I know I can submit a deletion request for them, 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 as well (see 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-gettyimages, https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/help-gettyimages, https://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.

These are the photos:

Hi Marco -

 

This is one of my favorite films as a kid (and favorite film version of "Peter Pan").  I have now removed the violating images from the gallery, they should be removed from the site shortly.

 

Unfortunately, given the volume of images our editors process, watermark images can sometimes sneak through.  I can see that the individual who contributed all these images is the same person, so I have reached out directly to confirm our image policies with them. 

 

Cheers!

@Michelle Thanks for deleting the images and even more so for reaching out to the person who submitted these pictures.

I haven't seen this version of Peter Pan. I think that in the Netherlands, where I live, the Disney version and, to a lesser degree, the Spielberg film Hook are rather well known, but other versions not so much.
