Thank you, now I see what led to artwork being deleted. The original
policy text was since restored, as was most artwork.
The artwork removed seems well within current Commons scope. I would
very much like to hear the arguments for removal -- but to those
favoring removal, please leave them undeleted while such a policy
change is discussed.
They were all in use somewhere, and many are illustrations made by
talented artists, on specific request from the community - it would be
unkind to remove them without due consideration and a thorough
explanation.
Thank you Sam. So far, this is the least minced message from a board member.
Meanwhile, I am still catching up on emails looking for an apology
from Jimbo which acknowledges that what he did was wrong; I'm sure it
must be around here somewhere.
