- Flickr has a bunch of suitably licensed photos. See [1] [2] [3] [4].
Maps
[edit]In the Infobox Template:Infobox Town NJ, there is a place for an image showing the town's place in the state. Can someone advise the rest of us on creating such images? Most of the New Jersey pages already have images showing the municipalities location within its county, as well as an inset of the county's location within New jersey.
- A good source of historical maps is the Rutgers Collection. Maps published before 1923 are in the public domain in the US. Consider uploading them to Wikimedia Commons.
- University of Texas, Austin has a number of maps available [5].
- NJDOT publishes a number of maps [6]. Note that vector versions of the maps are also available in Arcview shape format. The PDF versions of the maps are under copyright, as there are original works of authorship and creativity involved. The raw data (vector shape drawings) are believed to be ineligible for copyright since no creative work was involved in making them (i.e. we can use {{PD-ineligible}}).
- NJDEP publishes outline maps of counties (showing municipalities) in GIF format and Arcview shape format. [7] These are believed to be ineligible for copyright since no creative work was involved in making them (i.e. we can use {{PD-ineligible}}).
Note: Arcview shape format can be converted to open formats like SVG using a tool like GeoCon [8] (LGPL licensed, but C# for MS Windows; maybe it would work under Mono; anyone have a portable solution?). The SVG can then be edited in tools like Inkscape and uploaded directly to Wikipedia.
