In the case of GalleriNOR several people uploaded images from the site without prior agreement with neither NB nor NF. After a while I get in touch with them and asked how we should handle the case, what people believed was the right thing to do from our side and what NB and NF wanted to do. First the stand was established as "the images must be deleted" and "we don't want to delete them", then we said "okey we will attempt to get them deleted through due process - but hey, how much of the traffic come from our site?" Then things get a bit amusing. The thing is, about 60% of the traffic originates from Wikimedia Commons and with the additional internal traffic generated from this we probably generates over 80% of the traffic on the site. This isn't neglible amouths of traffic on a site, removing the images on Commons would pull the plug on the majority of the traffic.
:-D
We should ask the NPG about their website traffic ;-)
Well, their site had a problem after the story has appeared on Slashdot.
Do all NPG images have a link back? They should.
Yes, they have a link with this template http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:SourceNPGLondon
