Is there a guideline that prevents a restorer (or other author) from crediting themselves in the image itself? Other discussions I've seen today about this subject include the topic of in-image credit, beginning with its expected presence in traditional media and debating whether its acceptable in digitally produced/edited media formats.
Yes: watermarks will be removed with extreme prejudice.

That's not policy as such, but watermarks are routinely taken out and shot.
