Ji-Elle
Not making much noise, but Ji-Elle is the master behind image reuse. Every year, she spends hours (days) going to every single image uploaded, adding description when possible, fixing countries, adding categories and inserting them whenever it makes sense in a wikipedia article. She is the reason why our re-use rate is SO good !
Other Commonists and volunteers helping on image clean-up, categorization, description, copyvio hunting, mass uploads support, translations, communication etc.
