I referenced the violations right in my email. [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] #15, and [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]] ("If you contribute material to Wikipedia, you thereby license it to the public under the GFDL"). The appropriate place to bring up a violation of what Wikipedia is not is on VfD. As for the violation of Wikipedia:Copyrights, there really isn't an appropriate place to bring it up. It's not a copyright violation, so the copyright problems page isn't appropriate. And the image is still used on a page, so images for deletion isn't appropriate either.
The user-space article in question is definitely on-topic for an article in that space; it's about en.wikipedia (in specific, pictures of a real-world meet of wikipedians). Do you seriously believe that articles, photo galleries etc. of Wikipedian meets are not (or should not be) allowed on the english wikipedia in the user space?
Copyright problems OTHER than violations are also on-topic for [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]] - that's exactly why the name got moved, IIRC. So that's where you bring up issues with image licensing.
I am absolutely sure, Anthony, that you listed this on VfD knowing everyone would disagree. Thus, I believe you did it for the purpose of "making a point"; ie. trolling.
The proper course of action would have been to take it up with the user directly. I do agree that if Raul654 wants to put up redistribution-prohibited pictures and cares deeply about that restriction, he might want to consider placing his images elsewhere (if nothing else, because technically by submitting his own work to Wikipedia, he explicitly DID license those images under the GFDL ...)
