Over at the Tree of Life wikiproject we like to have people upload photos of any species they don't recognise and we try to identify them before dispatching them to a suitable article. That hasn't come under threat yet as "original research" but I fear it is only a matter of time.

No the issue of pictures has been raised before. It is generaly accepted that since they pretty much have to be original reseach we are not going to worry about them. I know that policy wonks appear to have replaced deletionists as the people to blame for everything but it is worth remebering that they do want to see wikipedia suceed they just see a slightly different root.
