I was nerd-sniped by the above link (which I've added spaces to, to keep it from being truncated) and thought "Huh, since when does Wikimedia Commons use tracker barf?" So I found the page for this image:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pen_Register.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pen_Register.jpg
then copied the full-size image's link... and sure enough. I guess they want to keep tabs on sites that hotlink their images and don't even practice good link hygiene.
