+1 Marc. Both of us were volunteers for years before
starting work at the
WMF, and I'm sure we both have opinions that don't line up with the WMF's
overall vision. Quoting Marc's personal thoughts as representative of the
organization as a whole is not helpful for anyone involved.

Funny how the first response from a WMF employee
was that they thought
using stock images was OK.
Please don't put words into my mouth that weren't there. I said that I
didn't find it /concerning/, not that it was "OK".
My point in that email was that commons makes it ungodly hard to find
what you want, not commenting on whether or not the use of stock
photography is desirable.
Also, I don't work with fundraising and am not involved with the banners
in any way. Even if I /had/ expressed the opinion that it was Ok to use
stock photography, it'd just be that - my personal opinion.
