Re: Suggestions for Improved Content on Wikimedia

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to maybe approach some of the folks 
who have fashion blogs, to see if they'd be willing to donate older photos. 
Even photos that are more than a couple of years old would be very useful for 
illustrating different fashion-related articles. There might be 
personality-right problems, though, I don't know what the legalities would be. 
A solution to that might be having the images pixelated or adding the 
bar-across-the-eyes (like in the Glamour magazine dos-and-donts feature).

gt; I#39;m very disturbed that my comments are now googleable.  And I guess so
gt; is this one I#39;m writing right now.  There#39;s no context and 
it#39;s just ery
gt; disturbing.  My short has been seen in 25 film festivals around the
gt; world and now it appears that any comment I make is googleable, which
gt; will have a deleterious effect on me in terms of getting a job.  Please

say.

quot;...This analysis will focus on characteristics of female participants on
English Wikipedia. The analysis will look to see if these participants are
representative of the female English speaking population. The analysis will
also explore, through some existing literature and in the conclusion, the
question of whether these potential differences could matter when planning
strategy to target the gender gap. ?quot;

Hi everyone,

I#39;m starting a list of media (specifically still photography but with
potential for video, as well) which needs improvement or doesn#39;t exist on
Commons. Not specifically quot;women#39;s themesquot; (we all love to argue

Hi Audrey,

Great idea. I am hoping in the near future to work on developing a model
release form, and that might be an opportunity to explore its uses. I have
noticed that there is quite a healthy amount of Wikipedia articles (and if
it's a large list in English, it's probably the same if not longer in other
languages) related to fashion (for men and women) that lack photographs.[1]

There is also the opportunity to crop and anonyomize images, if need be,
like you suggested (or just blurring a face).

Feel free to send me any links off list of Fashion blogs that you think
might be quot;outreachable.quot; I'm hoping to gather a list of materials
like this
for some research I'm developing.

Thank you!

-Sarah
