==Musicians biographies==

Half of my time usually involves finding photos for the articles which have no photo, or very poor images, and photos which both demonstrate the information in the text, and show the visual change of the subject over time.ne. I email the photographers, explain Creative Commons, and ask that they change their copyright licenses to a CC-BY-SA choice and upload them to the waiting articles, (which usually need work in anticipation of the photographs). I usually pick and am building 6-12 biographical articles about musicians, 98% of the time in the en.Wikipedia. Some of those articles I contributed to in 2006 have IP Adresses instead of a Username. I registered with a username in 2007, and have contributed to several GA and FA ranked articles. It's difficult to write, edit, and decorate those biographies about living persons, because they continue to change, evolve, and require constant work to keep updated. Both the Cat Stevens/Yusuf article and others I've helped along to a distinctive level often lose their status because of the ongoing requirement to update and improve upon them. As of September, 2009 I'd uploaded over 600 images and placed all but six of them on the Wikipedia articles that apply to them. By MarchNovember, 20112012, more than 12,300000 photos fall into that category. Here is a link to a partial list of artists I have uploaded:
