Wikipedian Photographers - shuttertalk - Dec 16, 2010

I was just looking up some photography terms on Wikipedia (which incidentally has an extensive library of articles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Photography), and came across this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Photographers

Quote:A great many people have contributed photographs to Wikipedia. Many of those photographs were found on the Net; others were created by the Wikipedian. To appear on this list you must be a Wikipedian who has contributed your own work to the project.

If you would be happy to respond to requests for photographs, please add your location and details of the type of photographs you can contribute. If you have specific skills or technical equipment that enables you to take difficult or technical pictures, please specify as that helps users to direct requests to the appropriate place.
Anyway, I thought it was cool that you could contribute to the Wikipedia project and be recognised as a contributing photographer there. Big Grin

That's good...a nice way for any of us to have a go at building up a bit of cred and online folio, so to speak.
