- Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in San Francisco
- If the template {{Reqphoto|San Francisco}} is used, the result is placed in the above category. I tried figuring out how to include the results by transclusion here, but I'm not sure that works with Category results. Anyway, it is another way of requesting photos that should be tracked. I'm gonna hop on my motorcycle sometime soon when the skies are blue and try to catch some of these, and thought some of these buildings would be good to catch. It be nice to mix it up, though, and use some historic photos of the buildings. See my note on this page re: 'San Francisco image sources' MrRedwood 06:39, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
