Strongly suggest to remove the photograph of Jesse Washington's remains. Photographs depicting violence and dead bodies are controversial and disturbing. This photograph adds nothing to the article's main topic, the city of Waco Texas, and it's shocking to see it in this context. There is a dedicated article on the lynching of Jesse Washington, where a reader might expect to see such a photo. 104.153.230.40 ( talk) 04:30, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

That strikes me as not objective. Compare with introduction to the main article. Gonesoft ( talk) 05:53, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Anyone adding City of Waco logos or images containing the Flying W, including that of the City Flag are in violation of Wikipedia policy. The City of Waco has not given anyone permission to do so, except for this account which is paid by the City of Waco to do so.
For the record, City Council Members do NOT have the authority to grant permission for anyone else to perform image updates. WebmasterWacoTX ( talk) 16:35, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
