Thanks so much, Han-Ten, Haitham!

Han-teng, I'm looking at practices of image use, replacement and deletion in articles about the Arab Spring with questions around who is involved, what kinds of activities constitute image work, how actors work together to produce the narrative, what code/spaces are used to discuss which images should be chosen, replaced, deleted etc -

Best,
Heather.

What's the research question? I am aware of one piece that puts
"Wikimedia Commons image bank" in the context of cultural institutions
to explore the new diffusion of cultural heritage.

"Wiki Loves Monuments 2011: the experience in Spain and reflections
regarding the diffusion of cultural heritage"

Although a topic-based literature review might be useful, sometimes it
is also useful to have a hypothesis-based one as well.

Perhaps you will get more answers if you also share your research
questions on Wikimedia Commons.
