::No, I did not goof up. If I remember correctly, there was no source information on that image, which means the PD tag had no validity. The policy of Wikipedia is an image older than 7 days without a source is to be deleted. Pretty sure I followed the policy in this case. If you are unhappy with this policy, please contact . I remove image links from articles, when I delete the image, but I'm sure I have missed a few. Others bother not to remove broken links, which, like you said, is detrimental. Though, what could really hurt Wikipedia is if they end up in court because of any one of the thousands of copyright violations on the site. The faster we can get rid of images that are not properly sourced or licensed the better for the project. Sorry if we don't see eye-to-eye on that.
