If we must choose between a work with free licensing and one made by a wikipedian we should always replace the free work with the wikipedians
Why would the work by Wikipedians not also be a free work? People should not be uploading non-free images, so this choice should not have to be made.
My language didn't make my intent clear: I meant the choice between work by a wikipedian (obviously free) and work found on the internet that we believed to be free but was not made by a wikipedian. Because work made by wikipedians is always free without any room for doubt and because it's usually better matched for our needs, we should prefer it.
