Grants talk:IdeaLab/In memoria and commemorations

comments from Thepwnco

@George Ho: Hello and thanks for creating this page on IdeaLab. I look forward to seeing more details as you further develop this idea.

Because I personally do not know much about this particular issue, I think it would be very helpful if you could provide some links to on-wiki discussions related to the use of images of recently deceased notable people. Thanks in advance.

I would also recommend taking a look at a recent (successful) proposal to the IEG program related to the sourcing of health images, called "Health images for all." I really like this proposal because it makes a very strong case for the need of health images to support/enrich Wikipedia content - I think this would be an important component of your proposal (with regards to images of the recently deceased) were you to expand on it. The project plan - outlining activities on how to improve processes related to sourcing images - may also be of interest to you as you develop your idea further.

Cheers. -Thepwnco (talk) 23:25, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
