Shortcut

This page is a forum for getting images from other Wikipedians for Wikipedia articles. Use this page to post request for 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 accept only photographs and pictures that are licensed compatibly with the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) or are in the public domain. A complete guideline of what is acceptable can be found at Wikipedia:Image use policy.

  • The simplest way to ensure that is to make them ourselves and explicitly release them under the GFDL by adding {{GFDL}} to the image description page
  • It is also possible to put your own pictures in the public domain by adding {{PD}} to the image page
  • Other copyright options and tags can be found at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags.
  • If you're asking someone else for permission to use their image under the GFDL license, see Request for Permission

Posting a request

Before posting, please do the following steps:

  • First try to find an image on your own. For tips, see the Wikipedia:Finding images tutorial
  • Avoid blanket requests, as, for example "need pictures for all people in the Lists of people".
  • Request images only for existing articles, i.e. if there is no article, then please write an article first before requesting.
  • Add the request here if you could not find a picture. Select an appropriate subcategory or add a proper category or subcategory in the alphabetical list.
  • Link to the article for which you would like to have the picture added, and describe what kind of picture you need. Signing the request is optional.
  • Add only one picture request per bullet.

You can also request an image by adding the image Image:No_image_yet to the article. This image is a placeholder for requested images.

If you need someone to take this photo for you, maybe one of them can do it in meta:Press_Corps by location.

Fulfilling a request

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). You do not need to provide a thumbnail image. Please see Wikipedia:Image use policy for more advice on working with images. You can also contribute pictures not taken by you if they are available under a public domain or GFDL license. Other requested images can also be found by viewing Image:No_image_yet, and add images to articles that link to this Image:No_image_yet.

  1. Ensure that the picture is properly licensed as shown in the "Copyright Warning" above
  2. Upload the Image
  3. Add the proper Image copyright tags and a description to the image description page
  4. Link the image to the corresponding article. Images larger than should be linked as thumbnails. For a good tutorial see Wikipedia:Picture tutorial
  5. After you add the requested image, remove the request from this page.
  6. You can also add your contribution to Wikipedia:Fulfilled picture requests or list it at Wikipedia:List of images.

List of Pictures Requested

  • Cherry eye. Needs a picture of a dog with it.
  • Belly button fluff. Seriously. If you have some really good fluff, this article needs it.
    • Fulfilled. (Leaving this message here because I'll bet nobody actually expected this to get filled.) grendel|khan 07:27, 2004 Jun 3 (UTC)
      • I actually tried to contact this guy [1], but didn't get a response. He has a bit more fluff than you, but yours looks just ... aaah ... fine, too ;-) Thanks. -- Chris 73 | Talk 07:35, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
        • I don't think the photograph is satisfactory. It is obviously staged ;) .--[[User:HamYoyo|HamYoyo|TALK]] 12:31, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)
