I'm confused. Exactly which images are at issue here?
It appears that the images originally complained about were the drawings of "child pornography" which were supposedly on Wikimedia Commons.But does it extend to the more encyclopaedically justifiable (though still occasionally somewhat gratuitous) photos which illustrate relevant articles on wikipedia?
Incidentally, I think wikipedia deserves credit for being one of the few places proudly exhibiting pictures of Muhammad.
