That would appear to be a strawman.
It most certainly does. You aren't part of it?

5 people is harldy a movement.
You seriously think this way?
I know that the fair use claims are highly questionable. I suspect I
have a far better idea of what is in the image namespace than you do.
Such as?
Finding outher ways to describe the facts. IT is not posible to copyright facts.
You seriously think these images have no value in an
encyclopedia?
Seriously?
In many cases it is extreamly questionable. we are able to write about
the fall of Carthage without pics.
You do realize that this is an encyclopedia, right?
Of course. One side effect of this is that we pay more attention to
copyright than say youtube
Are you actually
interested in contributing to an encylopedia or are you just here to delete
images?
How does stealing Image:032806 francelaborprotests2.jpg produce a
better free encycopedia that useing the free images I linked to?
