Many images uploaded to Wikipedia are third-parties' copyrighted IP
being used under the vague claim of "fair use". The project has not yet
received legal advice about whether such materials can be redistributed
under the terms of the GFDL; until that's resolved I at least have no
intention of putting them all in one easy download, for which a
significant use would be reuse and redistribution by people like
yourself trying to reuse Wikipedia material.
On Polish Wikipedia they would be immediately deleted.
"Fair use" is well known to be incompatible with free software -
it gives very limited rights.
Please detele all such images, so Wikipedia can stay free.
