Hi, all:
I have proposed a WikiProject to help with the process of organizing Category:Wikipedia requested photographs and its subcategories. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Photo Requests if you're interested. I would love to hear feedback from potentially interested Wikipedians. Tim Pierce 17:34, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Notice that for things at specific locations, if you add ((coord)) (with latitude, longitude, and "name=object name") to an entry, there is a tool on the right side above the TOC which puts all those locations on a map. Makes it easier to find something near you in any category. (SEWilco 06:17, 17 September 2007 (UTC))
That is a really cool tool. Is there anyway this could be applied to categories? For example many requests for photos are organised by region (generated using reqphoto) eg. Category:Wikipedia_requested_photographs_in_Avon. It would be very useful to have these displayed on a map.Traveler100 16:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to request a few illustrations, but not photographs, and not exactly diagrams. Specifically, I'd like an appropriate line drawing of the scene a faire to accompany The Maid Freed From the Gallows (portraying a woman delaying a hangman from executing her so her lover can arrive with a bribe to buy her freedom); and Republican marriage (a form of human execution from the French Revolution which involved tying a naked man and woman together, and drowning them in that way. Is there a better way to request these? bd2412 T 12:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
This doesn't real fit in with any of the categories on the main page, so I'm placing it here. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Media franchises is looking for an image to place on its banner, indicating the scope of the project, which is audio, video, print, performance, and potentially internet fictional series. Unfortunately, I can't find an image anywhere which would seem to fit on the banner. If any of you can either generate an image containing most of those various elements, or an image showing examples of series stored on those various media, it would be greatly appreciated. At this point, I am, I believe the phrase is, desparate. I'm likely to take anything which even approximates the sought image. John Carter (talk) 19:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
There are a large number of categories requesting pictures for articles. There are also a number of templates that could be used, some of which overlap. Now many regulars here will see the difference between a photograph and an image (i.e. some other form of picture not taken with a camera). It is clear however from the contents of categories such as Category:Wikipedia requested images, Category:Wikipedia requested images-other and many of the sub-cats of Category:Wikipedia requested photographs that most Wikipedia users do not see the subtle difference or are not aware of all the possible templates.
I would therefor like to propose what may be a little controversial; namely remove distinctions between images and photographs in request categories and templates. The aim of these list is to bring to the attention of subject specialist the need for an image/photo on an article, is there any real advantage to keeping these requests separate? The only exception to this is possibly the categories for maps and diagrams as this is a special interest group in themselves. Interested to know what others think.

I see a lot of articles looking for images where I don't they are needed e.g. Civil Service (Ireland) and Internet in Ireland. I'd like to see on the template who requested the image and why they think the article needs one. Maybe add a tag to certain articles saying image not needed so bots or whatever can ignore them. What do people think? Jaqian (talk) 12:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Can someone make a kind of family tree of Fox Kids, Toon Disney, ABC Family, Disney XD, CW 4Kids and Jetix altogether?
Wikipedia:Requested pictures was created in 2002 by Brion VIBBER (t c). At the time there was no other centralized method for requesting images to be added to Wikipedia, so it made sense to have one place to keep track of outstanding requests.
Since then, the ((reqphoto))
has been introduced. When this template is placed on an article's talk page, the article is automatically added to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs or one of its subcategories. Using Wikipedia's category management makes it much easier to organize and keep image requests up to date. Wikipedia:Requested pictures is a much less visible tool for tracking image requests, and is less easily maintained.
I think the time has come to formally retire Wikipedia:Requested pictures. I suggest that the following pages be redirected to the appropriate categories:
From | To |
---|---|
Wikipedia:Requested pictures | Category:Wikipedia requested photographs |
Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Arts | Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of art |
Wikipedia:Requested pictures/History | Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of History |
Wikipedia:Requested pictures/People | Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of people |
Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Places | Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of places |
Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Science | Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of Science |
Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Society | Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of Society |
Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Technology | Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of Technology |
Please comment. I would like to hear any reservations that people have about this proposal. Tim Pierce (talk) 19:15, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Just from a practical standpoint, does this get much attention, do I have much hope? TCO (Reviews needed) 17:23, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

I just tried to request an image of a Barcalounger and a rabbit's foot. Where's the category for those? And the instruction creep made me dizzy. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:32, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Done These articles now have pictures -15:54, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
I need pictures of Conni Marie Brazelton American actress, singer Somi and of the model Kiara Kabukuru. All three are of Ugandan origin. I am also interested in a photo of American basketball player Errick Craven. I would be very grateful if someone could get pictures of some of them (if possible, I'd like the photos appear only them).
Thank you.--Isinbill (talk) 00:15, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedians from California/Architecture/Requested Pictures,
at german Wikipedia we just wrote an article about an architectural interesting office building at teh border of Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village, California. It has been used in several movies, such as Demolition Man or 12:01. Its not the same as The Oaks (Thousand Oaks, California), as the one I am talking about is located here: 34° 9′ 21.95″ N 118° 49′ 8.84″ W. We would be very happy to have a picture for this building. We already checked Wikipedia Commons if there is one - no. Could you help us with someone near this place taking a photo of that building? Or could you pass this question additionally to a better fitting place at english Wikipedia - if this is not the right place? I post this question at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject California, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Architecture and Wikipedia talk:Requested pictures but none of those seem to fit perfectly. Looking forward
Yours --Zulu55 (talk) 08:51, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
While most articles on actors/actresses and singers have photos of the subject, many of the most important and notable singers do not. I know it is more difficult get such images given the lack of major award shows and such, but adding photos would greatly enhance the quality of the articles. Requested images include for Dolora Zajick and Joyce DiDonato. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 01:54, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
Is it possible to browse a map of Wikipedia articles that have coordinates but no photograph? This could perhaps be displayed by WikiMiniAtlas or GeoHack as an overlay in Google Maps. If going somewhere with a camera, it would be nice to be able to quickly look at what articles might benefit from particular photos, that I might not think to take a photo of at the time, either because I didn't know about the place near my route, or didn't know the article was missing a photo. --Scott Davis Talk 00:49, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello. I want ask question. Can we upload copyrighted media to Wikipedia for requested pictures. For example, logo requested for Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Can I upload this? --Drabdullayev17 (talk) 18:28, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
