Another pretty picture, one that really should be a Featured Picture or at least a candidate for one. It's by User:CrispAir and is of a boulder field at Devil's Lake State Park in Wisconsin.

Posting pictures to Wikipedia
Here we have a completely innocuous image, uploaded by User:Mattes, that shows a flight attendant's demonstration of an oxygen mask. It used to be on the Pre-flight safety demonstration article.
My question is: are a majority of Wikipedia pictures taken by users for the intention of getting on the site, or uploaded later because a user realized he had one that could illustrate an article? In this example, did User:Mattes take a flight and just happen to snap a photo of the demonstration, or did he take the picture with the intention of uploading it?

When your university's Wikipedia picture looks like the Bates Motel, and the words "unaccredited" and "diploma mill" are in the first paragraph, you know your institution has a marketing problem.Patriot Bible University
