Here's the place to inquire about pages whose images aren't potholed to anything.

Google Image Search and Tineye are good resources.

Images Without a Source lists the pages that have been discussed in this thread but haven't been sourced yet. Once a source is found for an image, please add it to the appropriate Image Source pagenote  and remove it from Images Without a Source.

About Images and Copyright covers our general policies about image use; see here for more details and Image Pickin' forum policies. It's always a good idea to link images to their original versions and (when available) providing a link to the artist's site when they are located, especially if we're given permission to use an image.note

Cue the Flying Pigs seems to be from a T-shirt site. I assume proper sourcing would be to link it in the caption...? or something...?

We'll have to table that discussion until the moratorium ends, unfortunately.

The source for Black Cloak should be switched to Franchise.Kingdom Hearts, since that particular cloak is in multiple games.

@2452 While there may be better images for the page, that one is not it - I can't tell what at all is going in the picture without context.

Here's a new list of unsourced pics.

Also, where do generic internet meme/photoshopped images (Germans Love David Hasselhoff, Oh, the Humanity!, Hurricane of Puns, Weaponized Landmark, Fridge Brilliance, Cat Ninja, Directionless Driver ) get listed on ImageSource.Internet without a specific source?

Well, regarding post #2459, @ ~Morgenthaler, I suppose an entry for ''Generic Internet photoshopped images" or something like that could be made for those images (until a better source is found) under ImageSource.Internet under Websites. There's already a generic "Clipart" entry under Websites, so there is sort of a precedent.

Also:

UsefulNotes.The Presidents is (of course) the presidential seal. Last time I checked it wasn't on Image Source, but I can't find a place for stuff like that.

I've noticed that logos (The Gay '90s, The Man in the Moon, the collage for Iconic Logo) and packaging (Made from Real Girl Scouts, Mana Potion, Mascot Mook) are awkwardly parked in Advertising, which makes some sense but I feel it's inadequate.

Edit: Crazy-Prepared is this wall display. The closet thing we have is Toys, but that doesn't seem quite right.

Tineye reveals the source image for Alien Lunch to be this be we don't know who photoshopped it. In fact, Tineye finds nothing besides the image I linked and the Alien Lunch page on This Very Wiki.

[up]There's no mention of a "Mission: Impossible" Cable Drop on the Stuart Little page, so I'd say it's doubtful.

I've added some images that were discussed upthread but for which no source was found to the list.

Regarding Invertebrate Index: Was briefly mentioned a while upthread (more than a year ago, in fact). At first glance, it looks like either clipart or an illustration from a textbook. Tineye got me as far as this page on a natural history museum website, which looks like the source (supported by the fact that credit wasn't given, it looks like an original image from that site, and that Tineye found nothing else that looked like a source). I've added it to Image Source.

Also, Flat World - looks like an old map. Has been used a lot on the net without attribution. Tineye finds it on a few stock photography sites, including this one. I can't tell if it's an original image from that site or an old map that someone scanned and put on the site. (Of course, it it's the former, it'd be an insta-pull as a stock image).

The second picture on Eagleland had been changed recently. I can't find its origin, it's stored on plenty sites as an example of stereotype.

Same thing for the new pic on Human Subspecies.

Earned Stripes looks like a Wikipedia-type diagram, or it could have been lifted straight from a US military page (in which case it's open-source). Diagram-type images don't seem to have their own category at Image Source.

The Eagleland image seems to be from this source.

The source for the image is mentioned in the examples, it's the 2012 Three Stooges movie. I added a link to the pic.

I added the rest of the images in #2459 to the unsourced list since none of us were able to find them.

Here's a new list of pics needing sources.

EDIT: [[http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Businessman-Voodoo-Doll-Posters_i1859313_.htm Found the one]] for Voodoo Doll with the original troper's help. Would this constitute a copyright issue?

If it's a copyrighted stock image, it very well could be a problem...we might be better off finding a pic from a work.

^ Thanks; I've added the remaining ones listed above to Images Without a Source.

Now the images I've listed below are all either simple diagrams or very simple drawings. I doubt there's even a source to attribute.

Do a Barrel Roll is from Air Cadet Resource a defunct site, larger version with attribute here.

Evolutionary Levels is a non-free clip-art by Alexander Reva, started a thread.

Feedback Rule is free-if-attributed clip-art from here.

Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics would take less time to remake in an Office-progam than it would to be to find the original.

Nice Guy has a copyright to "colorpix.be" a site that is "under construction".

The Nondescript is a public domain image.

Unicorn is a mirrored non-free clip art this one by Pedro Talens Masip, started thread.

Visible Silence could be remade in MS paint quicker than finding the original.

Western Zodiac was on shutterstock, here, but has since been removed and there are hundreds of nearly-identical images by different artists.

"You!" Exclamation looks to come from the cover of You: on a Diet.
