[WikiEN-l] Asking for free images on living bios

[David Gerard]

I'm working at home this week, which means I get the small child on my
arm. This leaves the other arm free to use AutoWikiBrowser! So I've
been going through [[Category:Living people]] and adding
[[Image:Replace this image male.svg|right]] or [[Image:Replace this
image female.svg|right]] to every article that doesn't have an image
or at least the word "image" in it.

Anyone else want to help? Our living bios are overwhelmingly male, so
I glance over the text in the edit box and (as needed) paste
[[Image:Replace this image male.svg|right]] in, and add "fe" if the
subject is female.

That thing is durned ugly, but already has people finding suitable
images on Commons or other Wikipedias, and based on past experience
will net us more than a few free content photos we didn't have before.

I might replace the current SVGs with some of the less ugly ones
mooted in the Village Pump thread as well ...
