	**** Do you have something in mind for images? [[Wikipedia:Blank maps]] has some good images, but they're small. The images they use to show locations ([[Wikipedia:Image:Map of USA LA.svg]]) are good, but I don't necessarily think we need the entire country (or world, in the case of country images). On the other hand, I don't want ''just'' the state, either. Maybe a cropped version of the Wikipedia image, only it wouldn't work because it's too small.
