You could have a long list subdivided, telling us if we have an image of Abraham Lincoln, Eamon de Valera (oh, we have that. It would have been wonderful if I could check on a list that tells me if we have any images of the UK parliament, listed simply as sayĪnd I could then easily pick an image for the page.
For example I've just finished a page on the Parliament of the United Kingdom. This bank of images could be displayed not as an alkward list of jpegs but by name of the contents on a special browser button.
Is it possible for a group of people to take on the task of putting together a wiki image-bank, ie spend some time tracking down images that are not copyrighted or are available through GNU. Right now, it is up to each of us to track down images, and it isn't always easy to find if there is already an image elsewhere that might suit a particular page. In this image conscious age, endless pages of text is not overly user-friendly. It makes pages on wiki look much more attractive. I think Wiki could do with a lot more images.

They are an US government organisation, but I'm not sure and I can't find any information about this on their site. Is a copyright defensible on the basis that a PD image was rescanned? That is to say, I have seen image collections such as that claim copyright of their scans of old (PD) book pages. DreamGuy 08:49, (UTC) Recopyright of public domain works by scanning? Taking a photo of a two dimensional object in public domain doesn't give you a new copyright.
