Lafemo 123/Wiki Image Use
Annually, several photographic contests are organized to collect freely licensed images that are realistically useful for educational purposes so that they can be used on Wikipedia articles. Sadly, after the contests, the images remain on Wikimedia Commons with little or no use. The scope of this project is to organize a 3-day edit-a-thorn that would primarily focus on the use of images collected from Wiki Loves Africa on Wikipedia articles.
