Template:Image requested
 | It is requested that a picture or photograph be included in this article to improve its quality. The Free Image Search Tool may be able to locate suitable images on Flickr and other web sites. |
Usage[change source]
This template is placed at the top of an article's talk page to request that someone take a photograph for an article or add an image (from another source) to an article.
It is not a general-purpose "no image present" indicator. Editors placing this template on a talk page should provide information about what photographs are wanted.

Explain your request[change source]
If the subject matter isn't perfectly obvious (such as an article about a physical object), please explain your request on the talk page. It is very helpful to give photographers your ideas, particularly for abstract ideas, such as legal and philosophical concepts.
If you have a specific idea for another image, then use the |of= parameter to name the specific picture that you would like. This is particularly helpful if there are already images in the article.
Unexplained and uncategorized templates may be deleted by any editor.
