That sucks. I don't know what upsets me more - the fact that this guy's good faith edits were subverted, or the post directly after his.
The second URL is also disheartening. If I understand it correctly, it's because many of these images weren't uploaded at Wikimedia Commons, so the license isn't altogether clear. I get confused myself with all the licenses. Most of my uploads have been historical in nature, but it's still tricky sometimes.

There is this fun paradox with wikipedia.
I was submitting a description to something which I am the copyright holder of, but it was removed because it was copyright protected. When I pointed out I had rights to it, because it was something i/company owned - i was told you should not edit your own entries.
