I guess someone has added it to a protected profile ==> it gets the protection of that profile.. See http://www.wikitree.com/photo/png/Mil_template_images-9
I don't know how to bug report it but I start adding a sysops tag to your question...
Looks like it just that image with problem see Space:Mil._template_images
I mark "Magnus was right" as best answer ;-)
Maybe I am wrong but I feel we have seen the same problem with Flags more times
Suggestion: Add a checkbox to images that can be checked by the uploader that says this picture will always be public ==> we don't run into problems like this
Re Terry You are right.... then the question is is it still there or has some succeeded to delete it....
My understanding is that a picture is some time in the Wikitree database before it's gone...
Maybe you are right its just to upload new pictures and change the template.... feels like buying a new apartment when the old one is dirty instead of cleaning the apartment ;-)
Ps. I added a reference to Bernard Freyberg from Wikidata Video https://youtu.be/APxG3AOJMGw Wikidata object https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q334990 Wikipedia article Bernard_Freyberg,_1st_Baron_Freyberg
==> He will appear on the generated map of WikiTree people in WikiData see my blog post that has the result of the query http://tinyurl.com/jxrb4h5
I created a new G2G topic I realized those templates are "wrong designed" when we have the picture name as arguments in the template then every time someone is deleting the picture all templates need to be updated which feels like asking for a mess.... and the idea using a template is that you should just update the template when you get a problem...
