Given how outdated and poorly sourced most of wikipedia is it’s kind of ironic we’re focusing on celebrity portraits

Wikipedia focuses on those other issues as well, they just happen to be a group of volunteers trying to manage the most comprehensive repository of information that the world has ever seen. If you see issues with articles, you are always welcome to sign up and edit the articles yourself!

I know we do. I’ve got thousands of wikipedia edits.

seems strange for you to criticize the quality of Wikipedia, then? you have personal experience that demonstrates why these volunteers are putting their time towards this instead of towards editing articles - editing articles is a difficult and sometimes contentious process.
