Some of you may recall my February 2012 blog post, "Politician pin ups – open-licensed pictures, please":
http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/politician-open-licensed-pictures-please/ In their blog post today: https://pds.blog.parliament.uk/2017/07/21/mp-official-portraits-open-source-images/ the Parliamentary Digital Service announce and preview their forthcoming release of a set of portrait photographs of 620 of the 650 UK MPs. Pictures of Peers and Parliamentary staff (and hopefully the missing MPs) are also planned. I've uploaded the first four pics to Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Official_United_Kingdom_Parliamentary_photographs_2017 and added them to Wikipedia (English and some others). I plan to upload the rest once they're available, but will then need help updating articles and Wikidata. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: https://wikimedia.org.uk
