Wikipedia:Photo Matching Service

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).

Photographers[edit]

To 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 editors[edit]

To 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.
