Around 11:46 UTC we reached 5 million files on Commons! Not quite sure which file is the 5th million, but this is one of the candidates:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kj%C3%B8benhavnsposten_28_nov_1838_si...
Thanks everyone for making Commons such as a fantastic project, and creating the world's largest repository of free images!

The broken version was reverted, it is now working again. In case you want to test it, see the version history or get the following file: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/a/af/20090902125937!Kj...
From a PR perspective, taking this image as the 5millionth one is a
desaster, the only positive aspect is that it is "honest" to take that one instead of a shiny picture.

Nah, we can use it to make a case for Wikisource and encourage libraries to provide high-quality scans!
How do we know this picture is the 5th million?
Just for curiosity, does anyone know what is the scanned paper about?

And again, this is just a guess by Platonides. Apparently it could also be:

According to the description this is from an oppositional newspaper calling for more democracy in the absolute monarchy of Denmark. Isn't it a great coincidence that the 5th million media file on the free media repository of Wikipedia happens to be a piece about democracy? :)

Perhaps not so much, as it happened to be a first page of the newspaper.
And I guess it is still better than the 2millionth file ;)

I would also like to note, this image is a shiny example of the new annotations feature!

I agree, the scroll-over annotation and translation looks brilliant to my taste.

Nope, just make sure your browser is rendering the third character in the file name properly.
