Photographs on Commons
I have done quite a bit of work on Wikimedia Commons too, so far almost 240.000 edits (2024). A major project I assisted in was categorizing 450,000 images that were donated to Wikimedia Commons by the Dutch Heritage Agency RCE. Of the 30,000 images I uploaded to Commons, around 20,000 were taken by me. Here are some:
