I don't think Wikimedia Commons is enough of an alternative, but is the best that exists.
- Wikimedia foundation is underfunded and gets attacked by many powerful people are against it.
- All images uploaded are licensed as Creative Commons or Public Domain, which is good but many people don't want to put a permissive license on their pictures. Photos added to Google Maps don't have to do this and remain copyrighted.

Finally done processing an additional 50 photos meaning I have now completed doing perspective corrections on 400 photos of NHCP #HistoricalMarkers of the #Philippines 🇵🇭! 🎉 I hope to complete 500 by the year’s end.

You can browse through all 400 in #WikimediaCommons: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cat

And if you’re curious how I am doing this, a slightly outdated process is on my blog: vaes9.com/posts/perspective_co

Anyway, I have a backlog of around 140 photos with more on the way: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cat

À noter que la #BibliothequeNationaleSuisse a versé plus de 3'000 images prises par ##AnnemarieSchwarzenbach dans #WikimediaCommons

Ces images qui documentent ses voyages à travers le monde et ses amitiés pourraient servir à de belles valorisations dans les autres projets Wikimedia.

À vous de jouer avec la #MemoireDuMonde élevée dans le domaine public!

How crawlers impact the operations of the #Wikimedia projects
Web crawlers collecting training data for #AI models are overwhelming #Wikipedia's infrastructure, with bot traffic growing exponentially since early 2024, according to the #WikimediaFoundation. According to data released April 1, bandwidth for multimedia content has surged 50% since January, primarily from automated programs scraping #WikimediaCommons' 144 million openly licensed media files.
