To an extent you could get around that by looking at the wikipedia
articles images appear in.
Useful for the images which *do* appear in articles, but we have a lot
of surplus.
Say I go off one day, with my camera, and I take a set of photos of
something. I upload a dozen from different angles, close-ups and wide
shots, a nice variety of photos. All are tagged in the same way with
much the same description. And then I put one in the Wikipedia article
- it would be silly to include all these others, they'd just be
repetitive clutter.
The search should really return them all, not just the one I happened
to pick as most suitable for an encyclopedia.
