This edit to the article on the niqab worn by Muslim women
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Niq%C4%81b&diff=482813756&...
was pointed out on the Wikipediocracy forum the other day ( http://www.wikipediocracy.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=122; I'm a mod there).
The edit has stood for five days now. The same image was also inserted in a bunch of other Wikipedias (and may still be present in them).
Interestingly, in the German Wikipedia, it was stopped by the pending changes function. (I've reverted it in the German Wikipedia.)

Of note, I question the copyright status of this (and other) images. In particular, there's no evidence at all that the photo was taken in the 1910s, and there is the fact that the copyright and appropriateness of these images is already in question when one looks at the website referred to as the source of the image.
Of course, I don't go near Commons if I can avoid it - and I usually can - so I'm not going to take up this fight. However, if *I* can see a problem with an image copyright, there's probably a problem.

I think that solves the problem, no?

I see that the user uploaded quite a few images on the same date, which are similar in their quality: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/%E8%99%8D
They are taken from a variety of websites, several from the same Megnin one; some are probably legitimate but others not so much. From the sample I looked at, none were in actual use. Many are in this category: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Lehnert_%26_Landrock
Thanks for looking into it, Beria.
