GerardM blogged about this the other day:

It was resolved quickly, fortunately. I would like to kindly request some caution among the Wikimedia Commons admin community when dealing with what appear to be institutional accounts. In the spirit of building better working relationships with GLAM institutions (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums), I think it's important that our first contacts are friendly and professional. I don't think a policy against institutional accounts is particularly helpful in that regard.
