purpose of Commons, but somehow it did not draw enough attention.
Realistically, if somebody uploaded a good picture (not necessarily of a
person, it could also be a landscape, a PD piece of art or smth else), and
if this somebody is an active editor of only one Wikipedia, this picture
has very little chance to make it to other Wikipedia articles, except may
be for the ones which are created after the file has been uploaded.
There are tools such as
http://toolserver.org/~magnus/fist.php that
address this, perhaps they could be more advertised.
