I don't see why it's such a special unique case. Wikipedia's
copyright policies are flawed, and this is one example of it.
By the way, isn't there a rule that fair use only applies in articles?
Am I missing something here? The image in the fr-wikipedia is under
CreativeCommons, and this was made by the owner of the copyright, Treanna
himself [

Doesn't mean that the image on en-wikipedia also counts as CreativeCommons?
(that's diving right back into the process part of this whole thing, though)
