Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) is an annual campaign where Wikipedia editors across the world, Wikipedia language projects and communities add photos to Wikipedia https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia articles lacking photos.
It was launched last year in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic to engage volunteers in simple editing tasks and to ensure that digital media files collected from various Wikimedia photography contests, photowalks https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photowalks organized by the Wikimedia community https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_community, are used on Wikipedia article pages where they are lacking.
We want to thank everyone involved in the planning and all the participants for their works.
Regards.
Isaac Olatunde
