Facebook Images

I noticed that Facebook utilizes Wikipedia images. The first image on the top of an article will show up on a FB "Page" or as a pop-up thumbnail/icon at a link. I also noticed that when an image is added to an article, it doesn't show up on FB right away. Are the delays because the image needs some kind of approval? If a FB "Page" has a title that is redirected to another Wikipedia title, will the image (from the article you are redirected to) show up on FB (seems to) ... and, if not, can an image be placed on the redirect that will? (even though it would not normally be seen on Wikipedia ... due to the redirect) J-klem (talk) 04:54, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia doesn't really have any editorial control about what content Facebook uses. You'll have to contact them directly. All I know is that FacebookBot goes around scraping article content and stuff for them. Killiondude (talk) 07:29, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
