+1 Marc. Both of us were volunteers for years before starting work at the WMF, and I'm sure we both have opinions that don't line up with the WMF's overall vision. Quoting Marc's personal thoughts as representative of the organization as a whole is not helpful for anyone involved.
@Richard and the moderators, I'm rather not start a new thread to respond here. Please allow responses to the currently ongoing threads and reject any *new* (no subject) threads. Thanks.

Funny how the first response from a WMF employee was that they thought using stock images was OK.
Please don't put words into my mouth that weren't there. I said that I didn't find it /concerning/, not that it was "OK".
My point in that email was that commons makes it ungodly hard to find what you want, not commenting on whether or not the use of stock photography is desirable.
Also, I don't work with fundraising and am not involved with the banners in any way. Even if I /had/ expressed the opinion that it was Ok to use stock photography, it'd just be that - my personal opinion.
