Photos are served byte-for-byte, and the Commons shot of Medvedkovo
carries GPS coordinates in its EXIF, while the card is meant to stay
city-level. Drop Exif/XMP/IPTC/comment segments from JPEG, text/eXIf
chunks from PNG and EXIF/XMP chunks from WebP on store; pixel data is
left alone and malformed files are rejected.
upload.wikimedia.org answered 429 to the generic agent; its policy asks
for a tool name and contact, so send one.
Add a "re-import all" admin action so photos stored before this change
get re-fetched and stripped.
