Wikipedia is one of the most visited websites in the world but suffers from a persistent problem - terrible pictures, particularly of celebrities.
Wikipedia has strict rules for photography and copyright, so the pictures uploaded must be a contributor's own, freely licenced or in the public domain.
Some enthusiasts launched WikiPortraits , a project to recruit a group of volunteer photographers around the world and get accreditation to attend film festivals, conferences and other events.
