I think that's an abuse of Commons, and someone (OQ?) seems to have started a deletion request for that (also, you might want to grab and AFD nominate the other header that the same account uploaded, for another part of the site...). If they're linking to images we legitimately host and which meet our image guidelines, are used in WP or other WMF projects, etc, then ... Shrug. I didn't realize we were ok with hotlinking like that, but if that's the published policy, that's the published policy. -- -george william herbert george.herb...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
