John,

That sounds like the best compromise. I haven't tried creating a gallery in Commons before, but I'll give it a try. I've come across a tool (Rillke) that looks like it will help me get it done.

Thank you for suggesting it!

Audrey

Hi Audrey,

What you are describing sounds like a gallery on Wikimedia Commons.

See the following
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Galleries
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:When_to_create_a_gallery

The Wikipedia article can link to one or more of the galleries on
Wikimedia Commons...
.. and then the Wikipedia article should have a few of the best and
most relevant images, carefully selected by consensus to balance the
need to be informative (and sometimes a bit confronting) without
resorting to including soft porn in an encyclopedia gratuitously.
