I would like to throw this back in a positive direction. The task of<br>
deleting poor quality photographs (and metadata/provenance/paperwork<br>
is part of quality) is made much easier if we have good quality<br>
photographs of the same topic. Nobody cares about deletions of bad<br>
photographs when those photographs are no longer used. They do care<br>
when it is the only photo of its kind, because it is a precious<br>
resource.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>An excellent point, John. </div></div><br><div>I wonder if there are organizations that (1) are concerned about gender issues on Wikipedia, and (2) have the ability to generate a substantial collection of high quality images to illustrate this sort of thing to the commons.
