--- Comment #3 from aka Royalbroil <[email protected]> 2009-04-16 03:38:19 UTC --- Commons images have always a problem, that's why a temporary local copy is downloaded from Commons. The problem is with unprotected images that reside on the English Wikipedia. Here's the deleted history from an image that was vandalized while on the main page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Undelete/File:Lyon0002soft.JPG (admin powers on English Wikipedia needed to view). The vandalism happened from vandal editor The O o . For a long time, all images on the English Wikipedia were automatically protected by cascading protection. Now it's not working anymore. I've tested it myself. The typical all-pink screen for a protected image doesn't come up anymore after the image gets placed on the main page. Non-admin DYK helper Shubinator tested another image here and found no protection: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Undelete/File:Sloat_House,_Sloatsburg,_NY.jpg . This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.
