I was going to mention what Jonas said… the wallpaper is not titled „Warty Final“… the filename is that because it has been that ever since Ubuntu came into existence… I’m actually rather surprised someone on the Ubuntu Planet wouldn’t be aware of such common knowledge… I’m a n00b, and even I know that.

warty-final was simply the filename of the default background picture in warty (the first release of ubuntu), and for subsequent releases the filename just stuck…

@AshCogs:

Thank you for your reply. Especially the point about Fela Kuti – so crediting him is not that correct but in a way it is

„Fela Kuti“ is actually the name of the Afrofunk/Jazz Saxophonist whose music was some of the inspiration for the heron and was chosen as the name for the art submission. Somewhere along the way it was tweaked and the file name became Warty Final for unknown reasons. Probably a lazy mistake.
