tripping[edit]
wikt:spænde ben. Based on the usage example at ordnet.dk talking about how it is unsportsmanlike for athletes to do it, intentional tripping may be intended. I saw Category:Tripping but only one of the images really illustrates this action, namely this one, and that is kind of grainy and not of optimal quality (but if nothing better is found, I'd happily use it). I'm surprised there aren't more photos of people tripping as it is a rather basic verb (whether by accident, or by someone else's malice as in the Danish verb). 70.172.194.25 05:01, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- You are right, they are somewhat hard to come by. Have you seen File:Football trip.jpg, which I have now categorised properly? Maybe that's more like what you're looking for? Felix QW (talk) 14:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
New day and night photos of the Austin skyline[edit]
Hi, everyone! I took an 8-day trip to Austin a couple of weeks ago and really liked the skyline, but I didn't get any really good photos of it with my iPhone 11, and my night pics were just blurs, so I deleted them from my phone. The city has a rapidly changing skyline, and there's a new skyscaper with one curved side toward the western part of Downtown that's very striking, especially when its roof is lit up blue (I think it was) at night, but Commons does not yet have a photo of it or of the skyline including it as a completed building. I believe it's w:Block 185, still described in en.wikipedia as "final completion is expected for Q2 2022." I really have two motives for hoping one or more of you excellent photographers takes on this project: (1) I'd like to replace the 2010 skyline photo on the Wikivoyage article, and (2) this is a city with a striking, unique skyline that deserves a Featured Picture set. Any takers? Austin is a great place to visit. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:50, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain[edit]
Hello! I'd like to request to anyone living in Madrid or visiting the city, some pictures about the new headquarters of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, Unión Europea y Cooperación). The HQ of the Ministry was recently moved to a building in the Plaza del Marqués de Salamanca and, although there is an image, it is old and with little visibility of the building. Thank you.

- It is surprisingly difficult to get those images, and I couldn't find any public domain illustration or photograph of Physena. However, the original 1891 protologue of Barbeya included a lovely illustration plate, which I have cropped and added to the Wikipedia page you linked. Felix QW (talk) 16:15, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

T40/M17 WhizBang[edit]
I am currently in the process of re-writing the Wikipedia page for the T40/M17 Whizbang (example image inside), but there is only one image of it available on commons. I am wondering if anyone can find any images of it in the field and upload them, even just one image of it in the field would be much better than what I have now. I know the US archive has some images but I have no idea if I am even allowed to upload those, let alone where to find the original place those were uploaded.

As it would be used in OpenStreetMap editor ( https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/issues/16 ) a CC0 image would be really appreciated (not entirely sure how crediting for say CC-BY-SA works when showing hundreds of icons at once).

Hi! I'm trying to improve w:en:Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, Notre Dame. As noted on the page nearby the Grotto is an approximately 230-year-old Sycamore tree, and I plan to expand the section to include more information about that tree, and a photo of that tree might be very helpful. The tree is depicted online here, with a picture of a woman leaning against it, but I can't find any freely licensed pictures of the tree online that capture more than its base and part of its trunk.
If anybody would be able to take a ihgh-quality photograph of the full tree, I would be most sincerely thankful.

Maps of some temple complexes in India[edit]
There are several temple complexes in India and many of them prohibit mobile phones or similar electronic equipments inside them. Therefore, I think we should create static maps of them so that people can navigate inside the temple complexes without carrying any electronic devices by printing those maps. Examples of temple complexes in India include Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Jagannath Temple, Puri, Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Madurai Meenakshi Temple etc. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 17:42, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- While OpenStreetMap is useful to do so, I found only a few temple complexes with details, including Madurai Meenakshi Temple and Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam. Other complexes need more details and Kashi Vishwanath Temple is surprisingly almost non-existent in OpenStreetMap. Local knowledge would be useful, as you can hardly expect photos inside these complexes. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 17:53, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
Samsung laptops[edit]
Hey all anyone who owns a Samsung laptop, I would appreciate taking pictures of it for Wikipedia. Specifically if you have a Samsung Notebook / 9 Series, or a Samsung Galaxy Book, it would be great because there's currently a lack of free photos.

Non-gif format for Images on the Voyager Golden Record[edit]
Category:Images on the Voyager Golden Record currently only contain low-quality images in the gif format, which among other things only allow 256 unique colors. Compare https://goldenrecord.org/png/013.png to File:Voyager golden record 13 earth.gif: even though the png has fewer pixels at 477×382, the text edges appear smoother, presumably because no color quantization compromise was done. Similarly, the Principia page https://goldenrecord.org/png/111.png is much more readable than in the gif we have.
The actual images should have all analogue levels, being 512 lines tall. In square pixels, it should be about 639×512 based on goldenrecord.org image size. If someone could find images of that size without significant artifacts, even better. If not, I still think replacing the gifs with GR.org pngs would be an improvement.
I've tried the following sources, but none is better than GR.org:
- I checked JPL website and JPL flickr, but both show significant GIF artifacts.
- Ron Barry has managed a decode from the WAV file of the record, but with noticeable "shadow" artifact.
I'd think the people at GR.org know where to look, but I'm failing to find any contact info.

I can't find any image of her that is freely licensed. Maybe someone could get an arrangement to take a free photo? Thanks. — Davest3r08 (talk) 22:38, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Photos from The Blocks podcast[edit]
w:Neal Brennan hosts a podcast called The Blocks, which is available on his YouTube page. Many of the videos are listed as Creative Commons, so I think it would be beneficial to upload some images from there, especially for the Wikipedia pages for guests that don't have an image yet. Note that some of the images have already been uploaded to Commons already. Spinixster (talk) 01:26, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Spinixster: you can do that with Special:UploadWizard. make sure you write down the source url and put
{{YouTube CC-BY}} {{licencereview}}
- as the licence template.--RZuo (talk) 09:49, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, but I've no idea how to actually take screenshots from videos. Usually I go full screen, take a picture and then crop, but some of the free videos are in YouTube's shorts format so I cannot get the highest quality image. Spinixster (talk) 08:00, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Spinixster: you could use yt-dlp to download the video and then extract a still with something like VLC. Madeline (part of me) 15:09, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- you can also force shorts to be displayed like normal videos by using scripts like https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/439993-youtube-shorts-redirect .--RZuo (talk) 09:31, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Royal Stool from the Kingdom of Benin[edit]
I have done quite a deep search on categories related to the Kingdom of Benin but could not find this particular image of the Royal Stool from the Kingdom of Benin. Can this one from the British Museum be uploaded please: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/E_Af1898-0630-2
It will be added to articles like w:Battle of Ekiokpagha where the stool in question was mentioned.
Many thanks! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 23:00, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Vanderwaalforces: photos from your link are copyrighted, so i guess a photo of this can be uploaded only in the following scenarios:
- find that stool in the museum, or another similar stool, and take a photo.
- convince the museum to release the photos under a free com:license.
- wait until those copyrights expire.--RZuo (talk) 17:28, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
Gillette Guard razor[edit]
One of the most popular razor in the world, but not well known in the West. I'm not sure of all the countries where it is available, but India and South Africa are two countries I know of.
Mostly for the Gillette Guard (Q123556070) Wikidata item for now, but also to make the illustration of various Wikipedia articles on razors and shaving more internationally relevant. --Veikk0.ma (talk) 17:27, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Update image of Codex Gigas[edit]
This image of Codex Gigas is low resolution. There is a high resolution version here on this page (image 3 of 19) of the Kungliga biblioteket. Can someone please update it? -Artanisen (talk) 04:59, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Bauer Media Group[edit]
Rebranded. Do you want to replace File:Logo Bauer Media Group 2012.png with this SVG? I don't think the licence on the existing image is right – the uploader is unlikely to be in the position to release the old logo under such a non-restrictive licence (I'd bet real money they're not) – but the new one should now be used. Sorry if this is wrong/wrong place/inappropriate, Commons is not something I'm familiar with. 81.187.192.168 18:20, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Johnston Memorial, Churchyard of the Church of St Mary, Gilston, Hertfordshire, England[edit]
Tucked away in the south-west corner of the churchyard of St Mary's Church, Gilston, in East Hertfordshire,[3], England is the little-known, and even less-photographed, Johnston Memorial. It comprises a cross, from which the top has broken off, in memory of Lieutenant Geoffrey Stewart Johnston, flanked by two headstones commemorating his parents, Rose Alice, and Reginald Eden. It has some importance as a Grade I listed memorial,[4] by the, now disgraced, artist Eric Gill. An unusable image can be seen at the bottom of page 26 of this, [5]. I would really like a usable image and wonder if any Wikipedia editor knows of one, or is located sufficiently close to Gilston to be able to take one. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
