"However, the IWF Board has today (9 December 2008) considered these
findings and the contextual issues involved in this specific case and, in
light of the length of time the image has existed and its wide availability,
the decision has been taken to remove this webpage from our list.
Any further reported instances of this image which are hosted abroad, will
not be added to the list. Any further reported instances of this image which
are hosted in the UK will be assessed in line with IWF procedures.

IWF's overriding objective is to minimise the availability of indecent
images of children on the internet, however, on this occasion our efforts
have had the opposite effect. We regret the unintended consequences for
Wikipedia and its users. Wikipedia have been informed of the outcome of this
procedure and IWF Board's subsequent decision."

Excellent.
