[edit] Buildings

• The page on St. Titus has no picture. An ideal one would be the icon from Basilica of St. Titus in Gortys, Crete. A decent exterior shot would also allow an article about the building itself. De Guerre (talk) 04:31, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
• The Center - "This tower has one of the most spectacular and beautiful lighting schemes in the world." is said on the article talk page, yet we do not have a single decent photo of this building. People living or visiting Hong Kong, please contribute. --Siipikarja ♫ 17:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC) 22°17′05″N 114°09′16″E / 22.28472, 114.15444 (The Center)
• Western Savings and Loan - A good photo of the building on Central & Osborn in Phoenix was removed due to having no license. Please add a good photo of the financial center.
• Kashi Vishwanath Temple - an earlier photo was removed as an alleged copyvio (though there may have been an OK fair use claim). Currently the article has no photo of the building. Tempshill 23:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
• China National Petroleum Corporation headquarters - In Beijing, address: No.6 Liupukang road, Xicheng District. Aditreeslime 01:19, 9 August 2007 (UTC) (in Varanasi 25°19′60″N 83°00′00″E / 25.3333, 83 (Kashi Vishwanath Temple))
• Red Road (flats) - very tall (31-storey) apartment blocks in Glasgow. Nice photo at [1]. The flats have also been the subject of a recent film (called Red Road) which won a prize at Cannes. It would be great if someone could get hold of a public-domain image. (55°52′50″N 4°12′28″W / 55.880436, -4.207814 (Red Road (flats)))
• Al-Askari Mosque - this is the mosque in Iraq that had the golden dome which was destroyed in a bombing in February 2006. BBC hosts a good Reuters photo of it at [2] but of course that's not an open source photo. Tempshill 16:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC) 34°11′56″N 43°52′24″E / 34.19878, 43.87338 (Al-Askari Mosque)
• [[3]] I would much appreciate some good images showing mechanical details of - specifically - the Amstel Tower windmill. I can find an image showing the front of the mill, but details are not brilliant and nowhere can I find images of the mechanics of turning the cap - which are at the rear of the mill and also up on the skirt. I would also like to see better details of the doors and windows in these mills - Tower mills especially, where only the cap and sails are turned in to the wind, not the entire post.

• Malacañang Palace — It turns out all the "PD" photos from the Philippine Government are actually noncommercial-permissiononly! As such, all three photos of Malacanang are at best fair use and at worst outright copyright violations. Anyone think they could get a shot of it to replace the ones there now? 68.39.174.238 06:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC) (in Manila 14°35′59″N 120°58′52″E / 14.5997, 120.9812 (Malacañang Palace))

• Sun Temple, Modhera, a 1000 year old sun temple in Modhera, Gujarat, India. a tourist location. Need of a copyright-free image. (23°25′N 72°22′E / 23.42, 72.37 (Sun Temple))
• St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, church destroyed in the September 11 terrorist attacks. (40°42′37″N 74°00′50″W / 40.71028, -74.01389 (St. Nocholas Greek Orthodox Church))

• Sears Tower — Yes, I know the article has three pictures of it and commons has a few more. However, two on the article are not free images and the third image — GFDL'ed — is small. Surely someone is in the Chicago area that can take a high-res picture of it during a clear day? Cburnett 00:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC) (41°52′44″N 87°38′09″W / 41.8789, -87.6358 (Sears Tower))
• Buttress. All the photos in this article are of ancient or Neogothic examples, but the text says that buttresses are still used. How about a photo of a buttress in a recent building? --Heron 20:49, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• CITY-TV could use a real-life picture of the famous CityTV mural, which I hear will be removed soon, if anyone lives in the GTA and has a camera, could someone easily run town the Gardiner and go down to the CHUM-City build-I mean the MuchMusic World Headquarters or whatever they call it now and take us a snapshot? I am getting a picture of it deleted with the Replaceable Fair Use Images rule. ViperSnake151 01:32, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Site plans

• Olympia, Greece would really benefit from a site plan showing the locations of the key buildings and monuments. There are plenty on the web [8], [9], [10], [11], but of course none of these are free use (although no. 2 looks suspiciously likes it stolen from my A-level textbook). Anybody fancy having a go recreating one of these for me?Madmedea 23:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
