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 "outreachable." I'm hoping to gather a list of materials like this for some research I'm developing. Thank you! -Sarah On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 10:12 AM, Audrey Cormier <cormier.h...@yahoo.ca>wrote: > 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.
