Wisdom in a private IRC conversation: <CimonAvaro> I think the only thing to do is to cool things down, and later, when the dust has settled, get serious about what our _fundamental_ policy with images should be, beyond copyright concerns. We (including you), can't see this clearly while staring at Bergs head.
I think that's exactly right.
As far as the Nick Berg article goes, I think the article is reasonable stable for now (though of course under heavy development). As of yesterday, the most Eloquent (;-)) proponent of showing most images inline agreed to have it behind a link, and even though the percentage has dropped since then, I think that decision is likely to hold for now.
So our discussion can and should continue, but in classic Wikipedia style, we need not rush to any final conclusions. We've knocked along reasonably well for a long time now, and probably can continue just fine. I don't think anyone's about to go on a rampage of inlining or image hiding, so we can mull this over and chat about it amicably for a while and then have some kind of vote later on.
