About the Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikimedia Foundation is the nonprofit organization that operates Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia free knowledge projects. Our vision is a world in which every single human can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. We believe that everyone has the potential to contribute something to our shared knowledge, and that everyone should be able to access that knowledge freely. We host Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects, build software experiences for reading, contributing, and sharing Wikimedia content, support the volunteer communities and partners who make Wikimedia possible, and advocate for policies that enable Wikimedia and free knowledge to thrive. 

The Wikimedia Foundation is a charitable, not-for-profit organization that relies on donations. We receive donations from millions of individuals around the world, with an average donation of about $15. We also receive donations through institutional grants and gifts. The Wikimedia Foundation is a United States 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization with offices in San Francisco, California, USA.

Earlier this year, photographer Diego Delso – also known as User:Poco a poco – has reached a remarkable milestone: 1,000 featured pictures on Wikimedia Commons!

Featured pictures are images that the Wikimedia Commons community has chosen as some of the finest on the website. Diego had his first featured picture in January 2012. Now, more than 5% of all featured pictures on Commons were photographed by him. 👏🏽

From architecture to endangered species, Diego’s work covers a diverse range of subjects. His dedication illustrates the impact of volunteer contributions to Wikimedia Commons' vast multimedia library, sharing an array of wildlife and culture with the world.

Asked about his motivations, Diego explained: “I enjoy traveling a lot and had a decent camera with me, so I felt that I could really make a difference to Commons with my contributions. In fact, I consider myself a bit adventurous and also enjoy visiting places which are not mainstream. Images from those places are not frequent and are valuable to the project.”

Commenting on his growth during the journey to 1,000 featured pictures, Diego shared that “Wikimedia Commons has been an inspiration to try out different things, like studio or macro photography.” He has even published a significant number of photos that were taken underwater.

Diego also shared his advice for aspiring Commons photographers: “If you nominate images to featured pictures or quality images, what you are doing, in other words, is asking for feedback about your work. So you have to be ready to get and accept this feedback, especially if it isn’t the one you expect … be patient and understand feedback as a treasure, and use it as a stimulus to get better.”

📸📚 Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) 2024 is here!

This is the fifth edition of the WPWP campaign , an annual campaign where editors and communities from around the world add photos to Wikipedia articles that are missing visuals.

Despite there being over 100 million images available on Wikimedia Commons, only a small fraction are used on Wikipedia. The WPWP campaign aims to bridge that gap by enriching articles with vibrant and informative photos.

⏳ Deadline for entries: 31 August 2024
🏅 Results announcement: 10 October 2024
