I'm curious, as a Wikipedia photo poster yourself why do you recommend Pixabay over Wikimedia Commons?

  I guess there it doesn't really make a difference, but Pixabay pictures are most of the time included in the search results of similar search engines: therefore I feel it is more easy to find them on the internet. In the end the platform (IMHO) doesn't really matter, but Wikimedia Commons doesn't always hold public domain pictures. I actually realized that the picture I posted was licensed CC-BY-SA on Wikimedia: I immeditely changed that to CC0 as soon as I noticed (:

    The non-CC0 license at least dictates that your name should in some way follow the photo, and that's nice (though inconvenient and of course, ignored widely). Me too have been pleasantly surprised to see my images still in use, for example 10 years after uploading them to wikipedia. By the way, what kind of camera do you use for that kind of close-up?

      I love to see my pictures online! Sometimes my CC0 pictures are used for news articles and such and I'm really happy to help out with my pictures . I also apply the same ideas when I develop: I always try to use the most open license where applicable. I feel like sharing is caring - I use open source softwares myself and in turn I try to produce the same high quality software for the world to use. Btw, the camera is a Canon 70D with a 18-135mm, f/3.5-5.6 lens :)
