We should have pictures of every MP and Lord, at the very least. We have quite a lot, but we really need complete coverage.

[Wikimediauk-l] OPSI Unlocking Request
I submitted a request to OPSI (HMSO) to release pictures of MPs and Lords under a free licence. They are a number of problems, for example OPSI don't own the copyrights. However, we can use their 'unlocking' tool to show there is a demand. I find it amazing that thee aren't free pictures of our representatives. In the US, pictures of Senators and Representatives are Public Domain. Anyway, to see more go to http://www.opsi.gov.uk/unlocking-service/2009/05/16/PhotographsOfLordsAndMPs . ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
