Hi, again a crosspost :-)

Today I am here to ask you for your help with photos. We prepared two example messages you can forward to friends and family below. Of course we would like to see photos from all of you and you can see examples here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/wikilove

What I myself experienced is that it is much easier to take the camera, take some white paper and something to write when you meet people and ask them if they love Wikipedia, Wikinews or whichever project - then ask them to write it down and take a picture.

When it comes to uploading them to flickr and you don't want to do it yourself, I suppose we will be able to organise it asking the community for help.

Please use the various wiki-meetings around to take pictures and to ask others to do the same. If you are at university or school things should be quite easy, if you have a mobile phone that can take pictures or you simply take your camera with you for one day and "do".

I hope we will be able to see your photo online soon then :-)

Cheers, Sabine

p.s. don't forget to ask others to do the same.

Proposed texts (please adapt them according to your community and the country where you live - we know that things can differ a lot from one place to the other):

*Version 1* Are you a Wikipedian fanatic? Do you ever wonder how you operated without Wikipedia. Then show your wiki love! Post your picture depicting why you love Wikipedia to the Wikilove Flickr group. Pictures can be funny, creative, emotional, deep, or anything you want them to be! Additionally, forward this email to your family and friends, and ask them to do the same :) http://www.flickr.com/groups/wikilove/

*Version 2* Are you a Wikipedian fanatic? Do you ever wonder how you operated without Wikipedia? Then show your love by posting your pictures to the official Wikipedia Flickr group! Pics can be funny, creative, or anything you want them to be.

If you are camera shy, then simply check out the cool pics that have already been posted. http://www.flickr.com/groups/wikilove/
