Template:Communitypage This page is a forum for getting images from other Wikipedians for Wikipedia articles.

Use this page to post request of images that you would like to be used on a Wikipedia article. Others can then Upload the images.

For comments on policies, other users, technology, and other miscellaneous concerns that are not directly related to posting images, use the wikipedia:village pump.

Using this page

Wikipedia can only accept photographs and pictures that are public domain, or that are licensed compatibly with the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). The simplest way to ensure that our pictures aren't going to get the project sued is to make them ourselves and explicitly public domain or GFDL them... since there are Wikipedians all over the world, there's a decent chance that someone with a camera can get access to many places and objects.

Things to do before posting a request

Before posting please check the public domain image resources and the more general public domain resources. If you want to contribute an image you have taken yourself either on film or with a digital camera, please make sure it looks optimal. Consider using graphics software such as the GIMP to enhance saturation, contrast, and sharpness (sample tutorial). If the filesize of the finished image is above 100 kB it is a good idea to provide a thumbnail image as well. Please see Wikipedia:Image use policy for more advice on working with images.

If there is no category for your image request, be sure to add a proper one in the alphabethical correspondent place by adding a header in the correspondent sub-header format.

For example:

=== New Category ===
for a top head category, such as Sciences

or

==== New Sub-Category ====
for a sub-category, like Biology.

Requesting permission to public domain an image

If you're asking someone else to GFDL their image, see Request for Permission.

Posting Format

Here is a suggested format for posting new requests here. Feel free to adapt it to your particular purposes:

What it looks like What you type

* Posted by: ~~~~

If your image request is obvious just from the image name or article name don't post a description or any remarks.

Removing requests from this list

Only remove requests:

  • if the image request has been fulfilled
  • if you posted the request

List of Pictures Requested

The following articles have had pictures requested; if you have such a picture, please upload it, add it to the article, remove it from the list, then show the world your good deed at: Wikipedia:Fulfilled picture requests.

You can also look for requested images by viewing Image:No_image_yet, and request images by linking there.

Add this page to your Watchlist if you are an avid photographer or you know how to draw and want to be notified of anything needing an image.

Anatomy

For many of things in anatomy, it'd be good to have a reasonably hi-res picture, that labels and that could be added to, then this would be shrunk, saved and uploaded.

  • Foot, photo of both left and right sides, showing some ankle. leave a message:Tristanb
  • Breastfeeding should have a photo of a mother nursing her child. The picture in infant should show a breastfeeding mother, not a bottle-feeding one.
  • Lips (plain) and with clear Lipgloss, colored lipgloss, and glitter lipgloss and, of course, Lipstick (Standard Bright Red & Black preferably, also some for people of color) - ~ender 2003-08-31 01:13:MST
    • I may oblige for the Lipgloss pics :) Though my camera isn't wonderful Dysprosia 11:07, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)
      • Done for plain and color/glitter. Dysprosia 14:02, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)
  • An anonymous user posted this content (HELP ME FIND PICTURES ABOUT THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM.) to Ovarian follicle. I'm assuming it should be posted here. :) Jwrosenzweig 22:22, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • I have tried now for a while but cannot get permission to use a drawing of the inner workings of the heart. The ones from Gray's Anatomy are not clear enough. An excellent one is at http://www.tmc.edu/thi/anatomy2.html . Any artists here who could produce a similar drawing? AxelBoldt 12:27, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Architecture

  • Wattle and daub (ideally both European and pre-Columbian American)
  • Thatch (ditto)
    • both of the above for not-yet-existent articles
  • And why not Adobe, for that matter? And maybe Brick making? RickK 01:14, 19 Oct 2003 (UTC)
  • Picture of a modern sauna

Artwork

Biology

Any article on an animal or plant would be improved by a picture, and there's no point in listing them all. It might be helpful to list here species that people are quite likely to have as pets/garden plants so might have pictures of handy.

Clothing

  • men's and women's kimonok and kimono accessories

Computers

Flags

See also List of flags

Games

Board Games

Many have good diagrams but may benefit from a photo of an actual game board

Video game consoles

All video game consoles could use a photo. Preferably known-GPL ones taken by Wikipedians, rather than publicity photos of questionable legality (such as we currently have on Xbox or Nintendo 64). If you own one of these consoles, please help out!

Documents and artifacts


Military

  • A picture of a Messerschmitt Me 262 that we actually have permission to use. There is an Me262 at the US Air Force Museum at Dayton, Ohio, and they may have better photographs which we can use. We can't take them off the website, as the copyright status of the (mediocre) image that they have is unclear. To get a photo, somebody needs to visit the museum and take a photo. To find out about good-quality photos, somebody (and it would make it easier if it was a US citizen) needs to send them a snail-mail letter about the subject. Of course, if somebody can get a photo of one at some other location, that's fine too. (There is also one at the museum in Australian War Memorial.)
  • A picture of a V1 Flying Bomb. --snoyes 04:31, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC) (There's one in the museum in Australian War Memorial.)

Royal Navy

  • Photographs of modern Royal Navy warships.
  • Photographs of groups of Royal Navy warships. Such as fleet manoeuvres and Reviews of RN Fleets.

Miscellaneous

  • Materials: adobe etc
  • Emission and absorption spectrograms for each chemical element
  • A picture of the Davy Crockett nuclear missile. See here for sample pics: http://www.guntruck.com/DavyCrockett.html
  • A band or crowd scene or something from Lollapalooza
  • A bluescreen setup. With the film camera and an actor visible would be great. CGS 09:03, 11 Aug 2003 (UTC).
  • POV-Ray could use a nice rendering done in the software to show what it's capable of (preferably an existing public-domain scene or GPLed Wikipedian creation)
  • All kinds of knots. Some already have excellent photographs, such as bowline, but there are more than 300 knots listed, most of which have no photos. The more complex ones would benefit by step-by-step diagrams like you see in Boy Scout handbooks.
  • photos of objects used in the Japanese tea ceremony:
    • tea bowls
    • whisks, tea caddies, tea scoops, fukusa, obon, ladles, kama, ro, etc.
    • pictures of people performing/participating in tea ceremony
  • Diagrams for the various kinds of coordinate systems; Cartesian coordinate system already has some nice ones, but polar and spherical systems might benefit from pictures. As the article says, "Basic concept of coordinates is hard to explain in words."

Everyday objects

Lots of common everyday objects could use a photograph, for the benefit of alien anthropologists elsewhere in the universe. Some which have already been supplied include eyeglasses, scissors, cooking pan, calculator, floppy disk and the like. These are probably some of the most easily overlooked things, since many of us see them every day and don't really think to photograph them. Others still needed:

Music

Organisms

People

U.S. Vice Presidents: Daniel D. Tompkins, James S. Sherman, Thomas R. Marshall, Charles G. Dawes, Nelson Rockefeller

Places

Places in Asia

Places in Australia

Removed Uluru from this list as it now has three photos by me. Lee M

Places in Europe

Places in the Middle-East

Places in North America

  • Either a photo or satellite picture of Area 51. Plenty exist, but all seem to be copyright.


Sport

Transportation
