The deleted files are by and large copyright
violations. Some of them
MAY be usable under fair use, but I don't think that's the job of the
person removing copyright violations to work out, is it?
Yeah, true. I'm still not so sure we should be going back and removing
the image, rather than leaving a glaring gap for an interested editor
to spot, particularly on the big wikis. Hmm.
