The image at Wikimedia Commons was already in the article for John Day Dam.

John Day Dam fish ladder view from the Washington (north) side of the Columbia River.

Didn't you see it? I removed your link because it added no extra value to the article. If you add new images not already found in the article, then go ahead and link back. But, until then it is not worth it.

Also, if you want to move all the dam pictures to Wikimedia Commons and then link there go for it.

I disagree, I find having these commons links extremely useful when I'm translating articles into other languages as I can immitately see what images I can use from the commons. Furthermore, just because it only contains one image now people might add to it later which would increase the value of the link. I consider the interproject links to be equivalent to interlanguage links, which you wouldn't remove just because all the information in the linked language already exists at this article. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 09:30, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Can you at least add them without pushing the external links way down the page? WikiDon 09:38, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
