I know what
you're saying, but really, is it that hard to find a
picture of Matt LeBlanc? We're not hurting any readers by not having a
photograph.
We've got a photo of Matt LeBlanc
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Matt_leblanc_1995_emmy_awards.jpg
But Wikipedia doesn't display it... Images bit-rotting out of articles
for various reasons (including replacement with non-free images) is a
real problem.
Every month or two I sweep all my uploads to see which are still in
use, every time I've done it I manage to find several that have fallen
out due to vandalism or replacement with non-free images (or both:
people often 'fix' unillustrated articles with non-free images).
Editorial judgement is one thing, but submitting photos seems like
such a waste when they end up lost so easily.
