In this submission, I tried to delete a photo with a very clear watermark from Getty Images. It was declined. Can a staffer please look into this please?
For those who wonder, it's this photo I tried to delete: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103484/mediaviewer/rm4050929664
Also, this isn't the first time a request to delete a picture was declined and later fixed via these boards. How do staff mistakes (that obviously can happen because they are only human and humans make mistakes) influence the measured contributor accuracy?

In the box for the reason, I find that it is best to point out the exact position on the picture of the watermark. I myself have inadvertently used watermarked images in my polls. I try not to use them because I know they will in all likelihood be removed. Sometimes the watermark is not readily seen. A data editor may miss it if you don't point out where the watermark is, and what the watermark "says", IE: "Getty Images" or "Almay Stock Photo"....Etc.

Thanks, the number is 190724-111347-373502. (it was also in the name of this topic, but not in my OP itself)

And of course, thanks for deleting this photo from the database.
