Oh dear... we had a copy of that over on cy: as well, until about 10 
minutes ago. I suppose this little incident does highlight the need for 
some central place where problem images can be brought to the attention 
of admins on all language wikis. Goodness knows how we'd necessarily 
recognise the images if the names have been localised, though....
