Wikimedia Commons is a good solution because (with a few exceptions such
as copyright violations) the image is there forever and the URL won't
change.
If you do put the images on Wikimedia then use wikimedia_commons=*
rather than image=*.

However, there are potential difficulties if you are uploading images you
did not create yourself.  This may be harder to deal with than automating
the upload process.
