Wikipedia:WikiProject Mauritius/Requested images



Welcome to the WikiProject:Mauritius photographs and images project. This is an effort to provide guidelines and information for participants specifically interested in providing images and requesting images on Mauritius related topics.

Photographs
The photography department aims to assemble a collection of high-quality photographs for use in Mauritius articles; both through obtaining existing public domain photographs or by uploading your own works.

Maps
The cartography department aims to assemble a collection of high-quality maps for use in Mauritius articles; both through obtaining existing public domain or free-license maps, and by creating new ones as needed.

In addition to posting your image requests here, and on the Wikimedia Commons (Commons:Picture requests), you can also post them at Graphic Lab/Image workshops or at Wikipédia:Atelier graphique/Images à améliorer on the French Wikipedia.

Addressing requests
It is preferable to upload new image on Wikicommons at Commons:Upload file, as images from Wikimedia Commons can be used across all Wikimedia projects in all languages, including Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, and Wikinews, or downloaded for offsite use. However images can also be uploaded on the English Wikipedia at Special:Upload.
