[edit] Using this page

Use this page to post requests for images that you would like to be used on a Wikipedia article. Others can then upload the image(s). For comments on policies, other users, technology, and other miscellaneous concerns that are not directly related to posting images, use the Wikipedia:Village Pump.

In addition to posting here, consider asking a volunteer photographer directly, using the lists at Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Photographers and Wikipedia:Photo Matching Service.

See also:

• Picture requests @ Commons
• Category:Wikipedia requested images (which has overlapping listings with this page)

[edit] Copyright Warning

Wikipedia can accept only photographs and pictures that are licensed compatibly with the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) or are in the public domain. Fair use images are sometimes also acceptable. 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-release}} 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

[edit] 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 appropriate subject page. Note that there are separate areas below for photographs and graphics/diagrams. Please copy your request in the edit summary so that recent requests can easily be seen on the page history.
• 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 may also wish to add an image request template such as {{reqphoto}},{{reqphotoin}}, {{reqmap}}, {{reqdiagram}}, {{reqimageother}}, or {{reqaudio}} for audio files, to the article's talk page. This automatically lists the article in Category:Wikipedia requested images. Although it is possible to add just the template {{reqphoto}} to a talk page it is strongly advised to add at least one category parameter (e.g. {{reqphoto|subject|in=location}}), otherwise it will be lost in a large list and may not receive attention from subject/regional photographers.

If you need someone to take this photo for you, maybe one of them can do it in meta:Press_Corps by location. You might also ask an appropriate photographer or graphic artist. Many are willing to take requests.

[edit] 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 Category:Wikipedia requested images or by viewing image:NO IMAGE YET.png, and add images to articles that link to these pages.

1. Ensure that the picture is properly licensed as shown in the "Copyright Warning" above
2. Upload the Image. If the license so permits, please upload the image to Wikimedia Commons[1] instead so that all the different Wikipedias can use 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. Larger images 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, and the template from the talk page.
6. You can also add your contribution to Wikipedia:Fulfilled picture requests.

[edit] Requested diagrams

• Female body shape needs a comparative illustration of the four body types (straight, hourglass, apple, pear).
• Observer Pattern needs a diagram (preferably in UML) - would definitely convey the idea of this pattern better.
