Leaving aside the baseless allegation of trolling,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Anti-Star_Trek_Cabal_logo.png is
possibly going to be deleted for that reason.

And no, it doesn't matter whether Mickey Mouse is
printed on a
T-shirt, which you bought with your own money and which is worn by
yourself while you're walking in a public place, loudly reciting the
GFDL. That doesn't at all give you the right to take a picture of the
T-shirt, cut out Mickey Mouse and upload it as "free" material.
Nothing you'll ever do, whether you draw Pikachu with your own crayons
or sculpt a giant Sailor Moon figurine, will ever lead to the point
where you magically turn copyrighted material into "free" material.
