It would be great to send an experienced photographer to cover the Hajj 2018 (or 2019). There is a lot of pictures of the Hajj on Wikimedia Commons [1] but

nothing of quality. I would be happy to work on this project. I can elaborate the budget,

some funds for the project (I think that some European chapters would be happy to fund that), obtain a media accreditation, etc.. The number of accreditations is very limited and Saudi Arabia probably censored a lot

articles of Wikipedia, but let's try! Some wikimedians send Wikipedia on the Moon [2], we could try to send someone to Mecca ;) Pyb Wikimedia France [1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Hajj_by_year [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_to_the_Moon ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2017 16:57:21 +0100 From: Mounir Touzri &lt;touzrimounir(a)gmail.com&gt; To: Mailing list for Arabic Wikipedia Discussion &lt;wikiar-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Subject: Re: [Wikiar-l] Send a photographer to Mecca Message-ID: <CAGj2RqDR0dM69j7ebcVKKGBhZu+V21YAiRH_=AV0JqnyK_BWKw@mail. gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" hi it is a good idea, in Saudi Arabia there are a lot of wikipedia users,

However, it's not that simple to hand someone a camera

ask him to go to Hajj; it's a trip so rough that you only do it once or twice in a lifetime. Going to Hajj implies going through a very rough time. It means spending half a day only to get there, sleeping in the street at night, walking at least a dozen kilometers per day, in addition to countless other

and even safety risks that you will have to endure for nearly five consecutive days. If there is a budget for such a project, you'll have to at least include a reasonable fee for the photographer himself, as well

to consider the legal possibility or permission of taking photos there. I do not mean to be negative, but this and more should be taken into account if you're seriously willing to consider this project. Best, Abbad. ________________________________ From: Wikiar-l &lt;wikiar-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; on behalf of
