Pete,
I am sure that I speak on behalf of all of the Commons community when I say that it is disheartening to continually hear the mantra "commons is broken", when that could not be further from the truth. Your blog post, helps to present some of that reality, so I thank you, both on my behalf and on behalf of the Commons community. I will have some comments later on a couple of issues.
Risker,
Of course the image still shows up on search for electric toothbrush. If you read the closure on that DR, which I wrote in conjunction with 3 other admins, the issue is very clear. It's not a Commons problem, but a WMF problem.
Cheers
