This user apparently had made a high number of random requests for photographs throughout the world. The user's talk page has a number of complaints (beside me asking what they were looking for). I removed all of TheGrappler requests from Wisconsin because I believe the requests were disruptive (but not intentionally). Royalbroil00:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In fairness I have had a total of around 4 complaints/queries, but significantly more positive feedback. The only problem is that negative feedback is the type that tends to land in my talk page while positive feedback is rather spread out! I'm still not sure why it's disruptive to comment that an article could do with a picture - it is a talk page category, for instance, not a more drastic clean-up or stub-cat template that appears on the main article page. In other words, it is a low priority request and people shouldn't get stressed about it, but it is my personal belief that a sensibly chosen picture can add significantly to the encyclopedic value of any article on a person, place or thing so in the long run it's worth doing. If you can read an article and still have no idea at all what the place looks like, then the article is missing something. As for what exact photograph would be most representative and informative, that is largely best left to the discretion of the photographer or picture provider who knows the place better. Any town with a notable center or landmark, for instance, has an obvious "target". If a place is just blandly suburban, then the picture should be blandly suburban to match.
