The "Bad image list" is an administrative tool on Wikipedia, created to deal with a particular type of vandalism. Images on the list are excluded from all Wikipedia pages, except those where they will be useful. These pages are not the place to raise disputes over image sources, copyright, deletion, or encyclopedicity.
