I'm not sure what a "blatant" copyright violation would be. There's always the chance that the copyright owner of any image gave permission to Wikimedia to use it - an editor who simply edits the article cannot know whether that is true or not.
High-resolution scans of every page of a recently published bestselling graphic novel? The current U.S. #1 album as Ogg files? A full-length Theora stream of a movie currently in theaters? A Microsoft Office XP install CD image, with key?
In general, something that anyone would be expected to recognize immediately and that no-one could possibly assume to have been released under a free license without extraordinary evidence.
