Did you know?Did you know Wikimedia Commons is a multimedia repository which hosts over 2,000,000 multimedia files? Wikimedia volunteer Brianna Laugher introduces Wikimedia Commons to you: Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. Founded just three years ago as a way to avoid uploading the same image to 200 different wikis, Wikimedia Commons began as a central media repository, making life more convenient for Wikimedia editors. Since then it has grown rapidly into a multilingual community of photographers, illustrators, scanners, audio editors, translators, organisers and annotators.
