Hi, you're using a copyrighted image in a way which actually isn't "fair
use". We're allowed to use certain copyrighted images in Wikipedia
strictly within the terms of "fair use", such as criticising the image.
But we can't just use them everywhere without violating the owner's
copyright. Sorry, but could you please remove the image as soon as
possible. [link link link]

Get heavy handed when they refuse to comply (like {test1}, {test2} etc)
