[Wikimedia-l] Radiological images

[Peter Southwood]

Someone else's problem - therefore not a problem?

I also think that deleting useful images just because it is possible to 
imagine a dispute without any evidence that such a dispute has ever occurred 
goes against the concept of freedom of information

I call on the WMF to take this matter very seriously and declare a policy 
before any mass deletion starts

Cheers,
Petyer Southwood
