Nice and fun. Have you considered points of interest, photos from open sources like Panoramio or Creative Commons search, links to Wikipedia articles?

Sometimes I get stumped and I also want a picture to explain it

ah yes sorry, not only images - tough could be a (visual) start. Hoping to get you surprised, because, libraries, I'd like more of them, more knowledge/experience sharing.

Photos of famous landmarks, planets, equipment, animals, anatomy, artifacts? Maps?

I wish Wikipedia had more media, not less.

Following that wikipedia link leads to downloading and viewing the picture.

This is really fun. My only wish is that I could see some information about the photos in the summary screen. Maybe a photographer credit or link to a Wikipedia?

The direct link to the commons page is also useful for finding pictures related to a topic.

For images of historical significance, the Wikimedia Commons is a good place too. Germany's Bundesarchiv has a lot of images there:

I think the tooltips are lacking images Would be cool to see photos of the Quirky Museums, for example

Oh? A lot of them are on Wikipedia. Is there some special arrangement for a subset of the images?

Pictures? Flickr? Youtube... this seems something to be seen...

You need to link to some photos.

There are links to each library included, which will let you look at galleries of examples that are much more helpful than any single image would be. But if you want to collect images from each library, feel free to post that in the comments!

scwoodal | karma 275 | avg karma 4.17 · | 2021-12-08 11:31:35

There are PDFs, videos, images etc.

This would be enhanced with some pretty pictures for the layman to better understand what I'm looking at.

WhompingWindows | karma 5344 | avg karma 3.84 · | 2018-09-26 18:44:03+00:00

How about galleries of NASA pics, national parks, and other themes besides art?

lawrencegs | karma 52 | avg karma 1.24 · | 2019-04-15 12:16:04

Very cool! Might want to add a section / link on what kind of images we should use to give the maximum wow factor

chad_strategic | karma 496 | avg karma 0.86 · | 2015-09-17 02:58:45+00:00

Other than photos, do you have a blog or anything, this is very interesting.

Seb-C | karma 775 | avg karma 2.21 · | 2021-06-11 08:57:27+00:00

I hope this gets more contributors, as it could be quite useful.

I wonder how difficult it would be to build some kind of `OpenHistoricalStreetView`. We certainly have enough historical photos to do something interesting.

Should be a great source of high quality images for Wikipedia articles.
