More info
Wikipedia needs your help. Many Wikipedia articles lack images, even though great images are available. We have a backlog of photographs to categorise and where appropriate use to illustrate Wikipedia articles. But if you have the time to help Wikipedia with our image backlog, we are running a session to show people how to do this. This is a very simple let useful way of helping us.
