Have you seen an article on Wikipedia that needs a photograph but you can't travel a thousand miles to take it? Do you love taking pictures for the wiki but aren't sure what our needs are? This page is designed to solve both problems by matching photographers with articles that need photos. This list is sorted by locations, with each location containing two sections: one, a list of editors who can take photos at that location and the other a list of articles from that location that need photos. It is recommended (not required) that this page be used mainly for timely requests (signed and dated), which will keep this page (or sub-pages) a manageable size, and useful. Timeless requests can go in the relevant sub-category under Category:Wikipedia requested photographs using {{Reqphotoin}}. For instance, requests for a public royal wedding processession might go here (being a one-time event), whereas, requests for a royal castle would use only {{Reqphotoin}} (as it doesn't matter when somebody takes that photo).

Nomination instructionseditAll contributorseditPlease be specific when adding your item. Add the country, state/province, and town names, creating new sections if needed. If you need to create a new section please add it alphabetically to the list. Use this template when adding a new section to the list filling in the proper sections with either your name as a photographer, or the photo that is needed: =[[:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in COUNTRY|COUNTRY]]= ==[[:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in STATE/PROVINCE|STATE/PROVINCE]]== ===[[TOWN, STATE/PROVINCE/COUNTRY|TOWN]]=== :'''Needed Photos''' :*''None yet'' :'''Photographers''' :*''None yet'' See also: Wikipedia:Requested pictures PhotographerseditTo add yourself to the list, please include your user name, a link to your talk page, a link to a gallery of the photos you've contributed to the wiki if applicable, and any comment you feel is necessary. If you're able to photograph anything in a particular county or region please list yourself under that region rather than the specific town you live in. You may also want to add a comment explaining how far you're willing to travel to take a photograph. Please consider adding yourself also to Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Photographers. Also, look over Wikipedia:Requested_pictures#Places to see whether you are able fulfill photo requests for your particular location. After you have fulfilled a request, remove the item from the list and alphabetically Archive the picture into the gallery. You may want to notify the requestor that the request has been fulfilled and/or add the image to the article. Article editorseditTo add an article to the list of photos needed, simply include the name of the article and a brief description of the photo as well as your signature so a photographer can contact you for details. You can also add {{Reqphotoin}} to the talk page of the article. Note: Names of countries and political divisions link to a category of articles that need photos for that country, state or province. City names do not. | |

- Free Association of German Trade Unions and Free Workers' Union of Germany. I was wondering if someone could go to the IISG in Amsterdam to get some photos for me. Copying them or having them copied there costs just a few cents, but having the institute scan and send them by e-mail would cost at least 30 Euros per image. The images I need were all published before 1923 so they would be public domain in the US. Please contact me, if you are willing to do this and I'll tell you the details.--Carabinieri 02:41, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Anywhere else in England and Wales can be done with a bit of arranging, as I travel frequently. Thryduulf 22:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
