A few weeks ago, visiting a friend in London, I did
the usual quick
round of museums; when at the Imperial War Museum, I took a pile of
photographs of various exhibits. I put them on flickr, and made a
mental note to put them on Commons at some point. Of course, what with
one thing and another, I never got round to it.
Since then, someone's transferred several over to be used as
illustrations for a handful of enwp articles, used one as the basis
for writing another article entirely, and left me a very nice note to
explain this...
I can't help but shake the feeling that our system *works* :-)
I had this happen also, I have google alerts for my name, and found
someone on Wikipedia using an image and even attributing it to me with
my actual name, rather than my flickr account. (not that it's hidden
in flickr or anything, and I really don't care either way) I was quite
impressed also!
