Bad Wikipedia Pictures
Just looking at the gallery they had left a bad taste in my mouth. I know this site tries to find the best pictures under the Creative Commons licenses, but there has to be better images of these celebrities under said license besides the ones shown. GamerPro64 04:21, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hopefully this will convince said people to donate. It also a good indication that family people are well just people. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:19, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Exactly: It's more-or-less activism. Adam Cuerden (talk) 09:20, 9 June 2014 (UTC)


 * you are dreaming doc. i can count on one hand the editors who take pictures of living people. most prefer to farm flickr and it shows; they are asleep in their dogmatic slumber; no amount of shaming will change minds. if you think there is an ocean of good CC images, go search google image, most don't have any license. i see there are 9879 image requests Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of people but they have started using grants to take pictures of EU parliament, maybe paid photography is the way forward.
