Hello everyone,

Thanks again for the examples. I delivered the presentation this morning which went well. Much of the audience was from the UK, which surprised me given the location. Anyway, hopefully some folks will be in touch - and they can now also work with the newly recognised Wikimedia Belgium, too.

With regards,

Stevie

The World War I category on Commons is quite high in the category hierarchy, though as Commons is the key project where licences are relevant it is worth looking at where those images came from. Here are the totals by image uploader (top 10 only) from Grandchild to G-G-Grandchild images:
