There are several images named "example": File:Local example.svg, File:Example.jpg, File:Example-4x3Landscape.jpg and File:Example-3x4Portrait.jpg are uploaded locally on English Wikipedia, while File:Example.png, File:Example.gif, File:Example.svg and File:Example2.svg are derived from Commons. There is also the sound file File:Example.ogg from Commons. None of these files should be used in articles.
The JPG image is the example inserted when a user clicks the "embedded file" or "picture gallery" buttons in the edit toolbar. Pages (including user pages) with this image left may be actively sought out and fixed. If you need a test image for permanent demonstration purposes, for instance in a template's documentation, then instead use for instance the PNG image or Example-serious.jpg.
The Ogg file is the example inserted when a user clicks the "file link" button in the edit toolbar.
