I personally think the icons are really cool and a nice addition. However, when we were discussing them on #wikinews, we noticed that news trust [1] was one of the icons (presumably because the equivalent wikinews template has it). Thats a rather specialized site for sharing news articles. I don't really think it applies to commons imho.

Yeah, it was removed very soon after it was added, because of the reasons you mentioned. (The reason it was on there in the first place is because the social networks list was copied directly from Wikinews. ;-))
