[edit] General

• Norwegian Royal Regalia needs images of the items. Inge 14:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC) (some at Nidaros Cathedral 63°25′36.7″N 10°23′50.3″E / 63.426861, 10.397306 (Norwegian Royal Regalia))
• Medieval cuisine - It has a decent number of late medieval illustrations, but it would be nice to have some depictions of food, drink or cooking from before the 13th century. / Peter ^Isotalo 08:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I will see if I can help you there... ~ matsuko-san
• Neolithic Revolution Good article content-wise, would be solid all-round with a picture or two, although it might be a difficult subject to portray pictorially
  • I added a drawing representing the Neolithic Revolution. Let me know if you find this satisfactory. --Polylerus 18:44, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Where is it? There seems to be no drawing on the Neolitic Revolution page.

      • Image:NeolithicRevolution4.JPG: removed June 6, 2006 [1] by User:CJLL Wright. I don't disagree with him. —Ben Brockert (42) 08:52, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• I've added a picture of a Neolithic grindstone. --Kaly99 (talk) 19:27, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

• Basil II good article, but maybe some images from Codex Vaticanus Slav II (MS. Slav 2) illustrating the death of the bulgarian tzar wiil improve the article quality.
• Funerary plaque of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou (Plantagenet) – seeking detail showing the lining of his cloak, for tincture (heraldry)#Vair_and_its_variants
• Picture about Poor Law, especially at Poor Law Act 1601, please. This article will be much better visually if it contains a picture about it, I think. ---Azuncha
• Colonial America --24.247.126.44 16:15, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I've added a few images here, but it needs more. GhostPirate 15:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• 1993 North American Storm Complex - definitely needs pictures of its effects
• Great Blizzard of 1978 - needs pictures of its effects
  • There are some here[2], maybe we can get permission to use them.
• North American blizzard of 1977 - needs picture of its effects
• North American blizzard of 1978 - needs picture of its effects
• totenkopfring - needs a picture to make the page better. There is currently a link to one, but uploading it would be much nicer. -Damien Vryce 19:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Port Arthur, Tasmania lacks photos of the main site, and the photos of the old mill are pretty cruddy (I took one :)) Stevage 14:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Imelda Marcos - a picture of her collection of shoes would be interesting and appropriate. - Malkinann 11:48, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• North Omaha, Nebraska needs a historic community picture, preferably of the commercial districts along 24th and/or 30th streets
• I am looking for the picture taken by Erich Salomon taken in 1935 of the U.S. supreme court in session. Since this is the only photograph taken during session, believe this might be FP material. The Placebo Effect 18:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
• San Salvador (Guipúzcoan squadron) would benefit from an image. The only thing that I can think of would be some diagrams or maybe an artist's rendition... it's a Spanish ship that sank in 1588. Sancho 21:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Costume armour (colud be found Metroplitan Museum NY), Mongolian armour, plated mail, Greenwich armour (could be found in Tower, London), Kastenbrust (could be found in Vienna), Heavy Cuirassir Armour of 16c, Reitars armour of 16c, Landsknecht armour
• Tatami-do, Mogami-do, Maru-do, Yaro-do, Okasi-gusoku and other kinds of japanese armour
• Structural history of the Roman military could do with a photo of a relief/sculpture of a Roman solider from the Marian period - there are many of these in Roman museums throughout Europe. - PocklingtonDan (talk) 11:31, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
• Wikipedians in the area should note that the Anne Frank Tree is scheduled to be cut down in a November 21, 2007. Last chance to take a photo of it. (SEWilco 19:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC))
• Kobold - Particularly looking for an image of a medieval kobold carving. According to our kobold article, medieval German peasants carved kobold figures from boxwood, mandrake, wax, and other substances and put them up in the house. If this is true, some German museum probably has such a kobold figure on display, and it would be great if Wikimedia had a photo of it. — Dulcem (talk) 05:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
• Kobold - Also, I have been unable to locate any public-domain illustrations of the kind of kobold thought to live in mines. This image from Britannica is probably PD, but there is no source information beyond "Culver Images". The PD image would be used in the kobold article. — Dulcem (talk) 05:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
