Wikimedia Commons reaches 6 million files with the upload of 250,000 Geograph images
The last few days have seen the upload of around 250,000 images from the Geograph British Isles Project. One of these—a picture of sailing on Ullswater in the Lake District—became the 6 millionth file on Wikimedia Commons. This comes less than 5 months since Wikimedia Commons reached 5 million images.
