Not copyright infringement.

This was directly linked to wikipedia, so I don't think this one counts as copyright infringement. It was not a user uploaded observation as far as I can tell, but that someone chose to pull images from wiki for the header images of the species. You can just change out the header images if you don't want wikipedia/flickr import images to show

Peculiar. The file seems to still have the erroneous copyright notice on it despite resolution of the flag. This shouldn't still be in the system if resolved. Might be related to a known bug, though the original issue seems to have been fixed…

I wonder if the fact that it's an external photo (wikimedia) matters at all here?

That's something I was wondering, or if it's due to how the file synch with Wikipedia works. One of the other mis-flagged photos was also an external file, from Flickr, though it seems to have been restored properly (https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/3057263).

I think I'll ask about re-opening that forum post; seems like that might be better than starting a new one.

These seem affected too (external photo, resolved):

They aren't Flickr hosted, but they aren't wikimedia either (both are from Google Streets)
