What is the point of there being personal galleries ? What is the point of having these pictures on my hard drive ? Does it help someone who is looking for some pictures ?
People trying to use Wikipedia just to find images deserve to not find any. The purpose of having them on your hard disk is that you can upload them when a relevant article is written. The point of having "personal galleries" is essentially the same, but more convenient because then the image is already uploaded, and anyone can add it to a relevant article (and remove it from the gallery).
