Since there is currently an ongoing vote on the talk page, in which the alternative in favour of using the image has a lead, for fairness, I'd like to see the page restored to the verion in which the image is included. It is customary to let the option that has the majority opinion behind it be the protected version.
Actually it's generally customary to protect an arbitrary version, unless there is an overwhelming majority (i.e. only one person versus everyone else). If it's even remotely close, we just protect a random version, so as to avoid continuing edit wars over which version should be protected.
