This wiki needs more Photographs. Ideally, every article should have an illustration (or more than one) and in particular articles about people (since the invention of photography) should have a photograph. But we can't use any old photograph that happens to be on the web, because of copyright restrictions.
Many of our articles use illustrations taken from Wikimedia Commons (a free-to-use repository of images used by Wikipedia and other sites). You can see a list of these (there are over 200 of them) at Special:WantedFiles where for technical reasons they are shown struck out.
But we also have a lot of illustrations (over 150 of them) held on this wiki. In the case of photographs, these have mostly been taken by the people who uploaded them. Most of these (but not yet all:this is being worked on) can be seen at.
If you have a photograph that could illustrate one of our articles, and you either took it yourself, or can assure us that you have the copyright owner's permission, we'd very much appreciate you uploading it, or e-mailing it to one of our editors for uploading.
