acrimoniously, but it's kind of important considering image deletion
isn't revertible. If Jimbo has decided that a class of images that are
otherwise acceptable on Wikipedia in accordance with Wikipedia's
policies are instead to be deleted wholesale, then why in heaven's
name
won't he just _say_ so in a public place? It's within his authority,
after all, and would make things so much easier for everyone. Secrecy
just doesn't make any sense.
Image deletion of images that are simply copied off other web sites is
easily reversible. Especially as if they dont have a source URL they
should have been speedied in the first place.
A few of the "fair use"/copyvio images have been scanned but not many.
