Go and download the Wikimedia Commons mobile app. It will how you Hot Places of Interest in Your Area that don't have any free photos uploaded. Go and shoot some, then upload. No, you don't have to loan the best 2023 camera—just take a decent photo with whatever you have on hand.

Congrats! You have just added meaningfully to the pool of free cultural works. Anyone who might need that photo, from a Wikipedia editor to a person in media looking to illustrate their article without paying a notable sum to a photo agency, will thank you in their heart.

There is a lot of ways to release your stuff under a Creative Commons license, but the Wikimedia Commons app works greatly for a bite-sized contribution to society.

Here's mine.

Omg I just uploaded a photo I took of a local building to Wikimedia Commons last week, thinking it's something I could end up doing more, but I had no idea there's an app for it! That'll make it so much more convenient!
