Wikimedia as stock photo source

Is anyone keeping track of these?

Not perfect - credit but no licence - but far better than nothing!

This is interesting to me because it's just a plain stock photo being
used as illustration for design purposes.

Keep track of every instance of usage of a Commons file, you mean? I
think that there are probably too many of them for that to be
possible.

There are particular examples of usage that we herald, but they are
less trivial than yours. For example, a photograph of the Eiffel Tower
was used by architects; some of our files made it on the cover of
magazines; etc.
