Seeking GFDL high-res photos of human models in standard anatomical position for use in article on anatomical terms of location. I have a long list of preferences/requirements for these, but won't post them here. If you're interested, please leave me a message on my talk page and I'd be more than happy to blather on about what I want and what I want to do with them. Thanks.

  • Woman - There has been a debate for years on Talk:Woman over the appropriate lead image. A possible consensus seems to be developing that a new nude photo would do the trick; the current nude photo candidates are considered either too culturally specific or not unprurient enough. The basic criteria are: an unexceptional woman (in age, weight, etc - between 15-85 percentile among mature women); naked; no background; and some aspect, such as an engaged expression, that specifically tends to give the photo a non-prurient aspect. See the discussion there for details. --Homunq 00:30, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Homunq, agreed. Actually, I want one (actually, several, from different angles - and a man as well) in standard anatomical position, which should not be viewed as prurient at all. I was going to wade in on the woman site, but frankly, the discussion is tedious and circular. (I honestly thought Frau-2 was perfect for that site - even if it wouldn't work for mine due to the body/arm/leg positions.) Let me know if you find one. Esseh 02:55, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mon cher (ma chère) joie. Unfortunately, despite claims that Wikipedia is not censored, most of the editors, and most of its photographers, are; self-censorship is the worst and most insidious kind. Bonne chance! And if you do find something useful, ket me know where you found it! Esseh 05:39, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Template:Exploding organisms needs a non-copyrighted picture of an exploding or exploded animal, preferably one of the ones on the list there. This is important, since a recent TfD (keep) held consensus that its current image was too silly, and should be replaced. The only non-copyrighted one I could find that was related was Image:Dog mine.jpg, which doesn't illustrate the idea of explosion well. Nihiltres(t.c.s) 13:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lovers of lake environment could post pictures of lakes in India which they may have visited as tourists in the past, such as the Kashmir lakes (Manasbal lake, Anchar lake, Wular lake, etc) or Kerala lakes such as Sasthamm Kotta, Ashtamudi, or even maps of these lakes etc, which would add to an impressive gravity to the articles posted in wiki on such lakes.--Nvvchar (talk) 16:35, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphic designer needed

I'm looking for a skilled graphic designer.

I need an image for a non-barnstar Wikipedia award with the theme "World Traveler".

I was thinking perhaps the following image, without the barnstar, and with the globe (or another one) superimposed over the Wikipedia globe (or the Wikipedia globe superimposed over it) - I'd like to see the world's countries and the puzzle pieces (with the continents more prominent).

The image also needs a passport laying on the surface beneath the globe stand (where its shadow is, but the shadow should be retained as well). The image's background must be transparent (not white like the background of the image below).


Is this something you can do?

If so, please contact me on my talk page.

I look forward to your reply.

Project: Soil

Loam , composition diagram=

I found an image I would have loved to add to that article at [3]. Unfortunately the material at [4] is copyrighted. Could s.o. do s.th similar (maybe with a circle rather than a triangle??) I don't know how far from the original we have to get to clear the copyright. I think that would make the article a lot clearer. Thks. Lisa4edit (talk) 15:20, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Physics

You should add the template {{reqphoto|physics subjects}} in the talk page of the article needing a photograph. The article is then automatically added to the requested photographs of physics subjects category.

  • Frequency modulation I'd like a picture/diagram/graph (perhaps from a spectrum analyzer?) of the spectrum of a FM transmitter being modulated by a pure sine wave, or the spectrum of a typical FM broadcast, or both. The article attempts to describe this spectrum, but I think some sort of image would be much easier to understand than any text attempting to describe this spectrum. (I hope this is the right place to post this request -- if not, please move this to the right place). --68.0.124.33 (talk) 02:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

* A photo of the Nuvaring that has a metric and English-measurement ruler in the photo to show the ring's size. Joie de Vivre 16:51, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Seeking illustration(s) of the molecules and processes described in the IRE-BP portion of human iron metabolism article--I've tried to make this process comprehensible by words alone but I fear it is still too confusing without an illustration. the article has a link to a copyrighted image which itself is not optimally explanatory.

I think such an image should replace the three wind one. Two images of the spiral on the page should be enough. Asmeurer (talkcontribs) 17:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
