Is this not the most logical response?
This is what happened.

I reverted the one image he changed of someone else, and gave him a temp suspension NOT because he was "in trouble", but because this is my policy (and the informal wiki one as well I think). Whenever I find anyone "breaking the wiki rules", my assumption isn't that they are evil people trying to hurt the wiki: it's just that they didn't know about a rule. So it seems like the fairest thing to do is just "put them on pause" for a moment so I can communicate the rules to them.

As soon as they communicate back something to the effect of "I didn't know that rule, but I do now and will follow it", their account will be restored and they can go back to doing the great work they were doing for the wiki.

But at no point was any of their previous work undone, except the replaced image.

First off - a big belated thanks for all the work you do on the wiki Loramin. I'm mostly a lurker on these forums, but I use the wiki all the time and probably would never have become a p99 regular without having it as a constant resource.

With respect to pics on individual item pages, I share Jibartik's feeling that they would be extremely helpful. When looking stuff up, I suspect a lot of us simply type into google: "p99 [item name]" and link straight to that page when trying to quickly decide whether to buy something. Having an image right there waiting for me would be a huge value add as a long time casual. I have spent more time than I care to admit fishing around on google images and Zam trying to figure out what something is going to look like only to guess wrong. Otherwise, I think the Policy is sound. Thanks.
I hear you (and appreciate the collaborative tone!)

I should have made it clearer in my reply to Jibarik: this is now "on my radar". I have a life outside the wiki, and I have a lot of "irons in the fire" also, so I can't promise that I'll have it tomorrow or anything ... but when I find time I'll be adding code to display the "Fashion Show" images from a an item's 1-2 fashion category pages on the item page itself.
