Re: Suggestions for Improved Content on Wikimedia
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to maybe approach some of the folks who have "fashion blogs", to see if they'd be willing to donate older photos. Even photos that are more than a couple of years old would be very useful for illustrating different fashion-related articles. There might be personality-right problems, though, I don't know what the legalities would be. A solution to that might be having the images pixelated or adding the bar-across-the-eyes (like in the Glamour magazine dos-and-donts feature).

"...This analysis will focus on characteristics of female participants on English Wikipedia. The analysis will look to see if these participants are representative of the female English speaking population. The analysis will also explore, through some existing literature and in the conclusion, the question of whether these potential differences could matter when planning strategy to target the gender gap. ?"
