Think big! An open letter about Wikimedia Commons

Dear friends of free knowledge,

Wikimedia Commons is in crisis. There are numerous concerns and complaints about our central media platform, for many years.

Therefore, this open letter asks the Wikimedia Foundation to Think big! about the future of Wikimedia Commons.

In late August 2022, we at the Commons Photographers User Group talked about Wikimedia Commons. The result of these and other talks is this open letter.

We invite everyone to sign this open letter to show how important Wikimedia Commons is to you. You may be a regular Commons contributor, a Wikinewsie, an editor of Wiktionary or Wikivoyage, or maybe you represent an affiliation. We also strongly invite other people who are involved with Commons directly or indirectly, maybe in the context of a GLAM.

Please inform others about this open letter.

Kind regards, Ziko (talk) 19:56, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
