@Chivaterca: That cannot be done, since Wikimedia Commons only accepts public domain files or files only published under a free licence.

Pictures of Keyshia Cole[edit]

Can someone please upload more pictures of Keyshia Cole that also contain valid licensing and information. There are only two pictures of her in Commons and that just doesn't seem right. I've tried to upload pictures myself but it never worked out. Someone please help. I would really like for there to be a full Commons category with a lot more pictures of her especially ones that look good. Khonarh (talk) 17:24, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Businesswomen shaking hands[edit]

The Vengance Tree at the University of Notre Dame (Indiana, United States)[edit]

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.

Shoji Tabuchi Theatre[edit]

It would be good to have a photograph of the Shoji Tabuchi Theatre (Q66819369), located in Branson, Missouri, USA. This would be useful to illustrate the Wikipedia article on Shoji Tabuchi, who passed away recently. Apparently the theater has been closed since 2017 when a fire broke out. The building has been for sale for over a year now, so who knows how long the place will remain in its current state. --Veikk0.ma (talk) 03:57, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I went ahead and found one image from the Missouri archive that they deemed free of copyright. Additionally I made a category for the theatre, and I updated its metadata at Wikidata! Let me know if I can help look for anything else. --MonkeyBBGB (talk) 02:16, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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) (talkcontribs) 17:42, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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) (talkcontribs) 17:53, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.

The Wikipedia articles in question are: Samsung Notebook 9, Samsung Galaxy Book, and Samsung Notebook. If you do contribute and upload then please add them onto these Wikipedia pages. Chifonr (talk) 17:48, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-gif format for Images on the Voyager Golden Record[edit]

When this discussion is archived, please drop a link at Category talk:Images on the Voyager Golden Record.

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'd think the people at GR.org know where to look, but I'm failing to find any contact info.

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]
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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]

@Vanderwaalforces: photos from your link are copyrighted, so i guess a photo of this can be uploaded only in the following scenarios:
  1. find that stool in the museum, or another similar stool, and take a photo.
  2. convince the museum to release the photos under a free com:license.
  3. wait until those copyrights expire.--RZuo (talk) 17:28, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rebranded. Do you want to replace File:Logo Bauer Media Group 2012.png with this SVG?

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)[reply]

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,[2], 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,[3] by the, now disgraced, artist Eric Gill. An unusable image can be seen at the bottom of page 26 of this, [4]. 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.
