Ah, there you've got me. There are a couple of pictures in Wikipedia which have me in them. But there is a good reason in each case, namely lack of a better free-use picture. In my collection, at any rate. There was one contributor who made a point of being photographed in front of notable objects, then including the picture in the articles for those subjects with a link in the caption to his own article (he has one). I think I did away with most of them by now, though.
Heh. I think that's a case of "a bad picture is better than no picture", but yeah, I would certainly replace that kind of image with one without the person. Unless of course, the person was subtle enough (like I was suggesting) to make themselves look like they were accidentally caught in the picture, and they were only surreptitiously present.
Hey, there's a great wikiproject. WikiProject:WheresWally (or WheresWaldo as appropriate). Try and spot wikipedians in images spread around Wikipedia :)
I love it...I love it...try and spot my foot face in the crowd of people at Mont St-Michel, catch my backpack next to the cathedral at [[Rennes]]... (fictitious examples...for now...)
