@Ruralexpat: while the photo does have an egregious watermark, it is (as far as I am aware) the only free photo of the subject, and it shows his face well enough for people to serve as identification. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 20:48, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Furthermore, I have now removed the watermark with AI. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 20:57, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
