@Gargron@mastodon.social I'm a Wikipedia regular. If you have a photo that you're willing to share under CC-BY/CC-BY-SA or public domain, I or one of my comrades can help you with the process.

@claudinec @Gargron Here are the acceptable licenses for Wikipedia images if that helps @Gargron 🙂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:File_copyright_tags/Free_licenses

@claudinec @Gargron Eugen, I would recommend this! I was advised that if I wanted a photo I liked to be associated to my Wikipedia article, I would simply have to upload my own picture to Wikimedia and give it a CC-BY license… or else do it on my website (adding the license as a caption). And voilà, there’s a pic I like connected to my article (a self-portrait I took in my office) 🤗

@claudinec @Gargron I'm another and he's right. If we can get a good and freely re-usable picture it's easy to swap.
