Most people that I meet on my photography adventures don't know that "taking pictures for Wikipedia" is a thing. So, when I'm out shooting, I often engage in conversations about how Wikipedia needs more photos. That's what happened this morning, when I took this image for the article "Greater white-fronted goose":

Please consider sharing your photos with a global audience through #Wikipedia !

@wikiphotographer This seems like a fun thing to do, is there an article on how to get started?

@avolkov @wikiphotographer It's really simple, you just take photos and upload them to https://commons.wikimedia.org/ . Then your picture will be available for people to add to articles.

@JackFromWisconsin @wikiphotographer @avolkov I came here to ask this same question. Thanks for the info! Seems like OP was able to track uses of some of his images. Wondering how that works/what tools to use.
