Some of these images may be located on a remote wiki, In this case it
would be Commons, so they won't have a local file description page in
most cases. You will need to grab a copy of the commons dumps for
these.

Hi, I've downloaded the latest set of wikimedia
dumps. I'm trying to
understand where to find images within these dumps. I've studied the
database schema and it seems to make sense, but then I take a single example
such as:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Carrizo_2a.JPG
And I grep the dumps 'image', 'imagelinks', and 'page' looking
for
'Carrizo_2a.JPG' and it's not found. I tried this on both the SQL and XML
dumps.
Are these dumps not complete? Am I misunderstanding the structure?
Thanks in advance,
Keith
