Well, it happened many many many times in the past weeks on several pedias.

Well, so do many other projects, but does the english wikipedia not 
mentions the image is kept because considered to be under fair use ?

When I worked with Alex756 on the policy of fair use images on fr (about 
2 years ago ?), I remember we set a list of cases for which an image 
could be said to be fair use.

I do not really see how this image could be said fair use in that sense. 
It seems to belong to another category I do not know.
