You need to rewrite what you wrote so that it reflects what you meant. You were making a pro-copyright argument.
Let me be clear, then. I have no position on the copyrightability of this image, neither in the US nor elsewhere, neither on whether or not this image is copyrighted, nor on whether or not it should be copyrightable.
I also don't see why copyrightability matters. Surely even if the images are copyrighted they can be used by WMF under the doctrine of fair use. And even if they are not copyrighted, it's not clear to me how the underlying images can even be obtained without committing a felony of exceeding authorized access to a computer.
