Just how bad are those Wikipedia photos? (Score 1)

Like Sir Fozzie I'm a volunteer Wikipedia admin, so I have a certain bias here. But looking at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures collection of Wikipedia's best pictures is it really fair to dismiss all current photos on Wikipedia as bad? As for not being able to improve photos on Wikipedia, yes as with text Wikipedia is the encyclopaedia that anyone can edit, so if you can improve the photos on Wikipedia with better ones that you've taken yourself then feel free to load them and change articles accordingly. What I would concede though is that thus far Wikipedia's images have on average lagged behind text. Partly because a good digital photo from six years ago would probably now look low quality on modern screens, and partly because digital cameras have improved so much in the last few years. My prediction would be that this will tend to shift over the next few years. WereSpielChequers
