I would guess it was removed because that template changed a while ago. See the Community Central version here: Template:Wikipedia. No image at all.

I think it's a much nicer way of doing it (and you don't have another image request going to the server). If you want to keep the globe, you could upload a copy to your wiki and use that. It shouldn't be too hard to find a copy of it somewhere.

...although... I've noticed the same sort of error with images disappearing for (seemingly) no reason on a wiki. Maybe it's just a temporary thing?
