Perhaps you could provide a line drawing to substitute for it? Back when I first notice the poll on this thing before it had erupted onto the mailing list, someone suggested that the photograph was unacceptable but that we should find a piece of "artwork" to substitute, and I jokingly suggested running the photograph through Photoshop's brushstroke filter. Maybe an edge filter could turn it into a line drawing and actually be a way to resolve this.
Last I checked, it had already been "resolved" by getting replaced with a line-drawing, actually. We're mostly just arguing the principle at this point, I think, though I suppose the original photo might eventually be replaced on the page.
Ah, I see. I hadn't gone back to the debate since I cast my votes so I had assumed nothing much had changed. I think that if the image remains hidden by the "linkimage" template then there should be no reason _not_ to switch back to the original photo, or another photo if that one turns out to be a copyvio; that was one of the two options being voted over last I checked and linking the image was slightly ahead in the poll. But I'm willing to trust the process on it at this point and leave the vote to resolve as it may.
