User:AnonEMouse/Images
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Images used in EN Wikipedia articles. I didn't take these, I either found them or just asked nicely for them to be released under the Creative Commons licenses (attribution or attribution share-alike) or GNU Free Documentation License for Wikipedia use. User:Videmus Omnia/Free Images is someone who's much better at this than I am.
I'm Commons:User:AnonEMouse, where I'm not an admin, but am a trusted user. There are a few other images at Commons that I uploaded to Commons that aren't used here that I haven't listed.
[edit] From Flickr request
I've made about 65 requests to Flickr users, and gotten these 45 images changed to Creative Commons Attribution or Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike licenses, so we can use them. All I can offer them is effusive thanks, possibly a bit of publicity, since Wikipedia is the #8 web site in the world (was #9 when I started asking!), and the knowledge that they are contributing to a free Encyclopedia, but that seems to often be enough. Three people gave me multiple images each from one request; three others wouldn't change the license on Flickr, but emailed me the image under GFDL or CC-BY-SA; two people contributed single images that I cut into two for two articles; one has started to write me as their gateway to put images up on Wikipedia; one person said they were already a Wikipedia user, and would happily upload their image themselves; and one was not only a Wikipedian, but User:Jimbo Wales! At Flickr, I'm AnonEMouse0.

[edit] From Email Requests
I've gotten these 8 images from about 19 email requests (including one person who came to me asking how to best expand an article related to them -- naturally I suggested contributing an image; and two people whom I asked for one image, and got two!). A lower rate of success here, though the incentives would seem to be the same. I guess the difference is that Flickr users are usually fans, rather than article subjects, while these email requests are generally to people more closely connected to article subjects.

[edit] From searching
74 images so far. I looked around on the web for appropriate images with free licenses, and occasionally trimmed or cropped appropriately. A number of these came from http://lukeisback.com and User:Tabercil/Luke Ford permission - extra thanks, both of you! Other fruitful places for images with free licenses:
- The National Archives (US)
- The Library of Congress
- US Army Images
- Eyes on the Fleet US Navy photo gallery
- United States Marine Corps Image Archive
- United States Air Force Link Photos
- United States Coast Guard Gallery
