There seems to be problems with image loss again.
At least 12 from enwiki recently reported in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Missing_images_for_speedy_deletion
Though I found out a few minutes later that there is already a list of missing images at http://noc.wikimedia.org/~tstarling/image-check/2008-10-10.
I have at least some files with these names (the list does not provide the expected hashes, so I'm not sure if I have the exact files).
I'd like to know when Wikimedia is going to have working internal backups again, and when images can be pushed to some third party (such as myself) once more, so that future data loss can be avoided.
