Can you right-click on the image and Inspect Element?  If so, does it
reference

style="background-image: url(//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bc/Wiki.png);"

or the equivalent for the language version of Wikipedia that you're
visiting?

Can you press Ctrl+I while visiting that page and look through the Media
list to find that image?  Can you see exactly what URL it was loaded from?
