Commons:Featured picture candidates
Other featured candidates:
Featured picture candidates Featured picture candidates are images that the community will vote on, to determine whether or not they will be highlighted as some of the finest on Commons. This page lists the candidates to become featured pictures. The picture of the day images are selected from featured pictures. Old candidates for Featured pictures are listed here. There are also chronological lists of featured pictures: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and current month.

Formal things editNominating editGuidelines for nominators editPlease read the complete guidelines before nominating. This is a summary of what to look for when submitting and reviewing FP candidates:
Artworks, illustrations, and historical documents editThere are many different types of non-photographic media, including engravings, watercolors, paintings, etchings, and various others. Hence, it is difficult to set hard-and-fast guidelines. However, generally speaking, works can be divided into three types: Those that can be scanned, those that must be photographed, and those specifically created to illustrate a subject. Works that must be photographed include most paintings, sculptures, works too delicate or too unique to allow them to be put on a scanner, and so on. For these, the requirements for photography, below, may be mostly followed; however, it should be noted that photographs which cut off part of the original painting are generally not considered featurable. Works that may be scanned include most works created by processes that allow for mass distribution − for instance, illustrations published with novels. For these, it is generally accepted that a certain amount of extra manipulation is permissible to remove flaws inherent to one copy of the work, since the particular copy – of which hundreds, or even thousands of copies also exist – is not so important as the work itself. Works created to serve a purpose include diagrams, scientific illustrations, and demonstrations of contemporary artistic styles. For these, the main requirement is that they serve their purpose well. Provided the reproduction is of high quality, an artwork generally only needs one of the following four things to be featurable:
Digital restorations must also be well documented. An unedited version of the image should be uploaded locally, when possible, and cross-linked from the file description page. Edit notes should be specified in detail, such as "Rotated and cropped. Dirt, scratches, and stains removed. Histogram adjusted and colors balanced." Photographs editOn the technical side, we have focus, exposure, composition, movement control and depth of field.
On the graphic elements we have shape, volume, color, texture, perspective, balance, proportion, noise, etc.
You will maximise the chances of your nominations succeeding if you read the complete guidelines before nominating. Video and audio editPlease nominate videos, sounds, music, etc. at Commons:Featured media candidates. Set nominations editIf a group of images are thematically connected in a direct and obvious way, they can be nominated together as a set. A set should fall under one of the following types:
Simple tutorial for new users editAdding a new nomination editIf you believe that you have found or created an image that could be considered valuable, with appropriate image description and licensing, then do the following. Step 1: copy the image name into this box, after the text already present in the box, for example, Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Your image filename.jpg. Then click on the "create new nomination" button. All single files: For renominations, simply add /2 after the filename. For example, Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Foo.jpg/2
All set nomination pages should begin "Commons:Featured picture candidates/Set/", e.g. "Commons:Featured picture candidates/Set/My Nomination".
Step 3: manually insert a link to the created page at the top of Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list: Click here, and add the following line to the TOP of the nominations list:
Galleries and FP categories: Please add a gallery page and section heading from the list at Commons FP galleries. Write the code as Page name#Section heading. For example: Optional: if you are not the creator of the image, please notify them using Note: Do not add an 'Alternative' image when you create a nomination. Selecting the best image is part of the nomination process. Alternatives are for a different crop or post-processing of the original image, or a closely related image from the same photo session (limited to 1 per nomination), if they are suggested by voters. Voting editEditors whose accounts have at least 10 days and 50 edits can vote. Everybody can vote for their own nominations. Anonymous (IP) votes are not allowed. You may use the following templates:
You may indicate that the image has no chance of success with the template {{FPX|reason - ~~~~}}, where reason explains why the image is clearly unacceptable as a FP. The template can only be used when there are no support votes other than the one from the nominator. A well-written review helps participants (photographers, nominators and reviewers) improve their skills by providing insight into the strengths and weaknesses of a picture. Explain your reasoning, especially when opposing a candidate (which has been carefully selected by the author/nominator). English is the most widely understood language on Commons, but any language may be used in your review. A helpful review will often reference one or more of the criteria listed above. Unhelpful reasons for opposing include:
Remember also to put your signature (~~~~). Featured picture delisting candidates editOver time, featured picture standards change. It may be decided that for some pictures which were formerly "good enough", this is no longer the case. This is for listing an image which you believe no longer deserves to be a featured picture. For these, vote:
This can also be used for cases in which a previous version of an image was promoted to FP, but a newer version of the image has been made and is believed to be superior to the old version, e.g. a newly edited version of a photo or a new scan of a historical image. In particular, it is not intended for replacing older photos of a particular subject with newer photos of the same subject, or in any other case where the current FP and the proposed replacement are essentially different images. For these nominations, vote:
If you believe that some picture no longer meets the criteria for FP, you can nominate it for delisting, copying the image name into this box, after the text already present in the box: In the new delisting nomination page just created you should include:
After that, you have to manually insert a link to the created page at the top of Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list. As a courtesy, leave an informative note on the talk page(s) of the original creator, uploader(s), and nominator with a link to the delisting candidate. {{subst:FPC-notice-removal}} can be used for this purpose. Featured picture candidate policy editGeneral rules edit
Featuring and delisting rules editA candidate will become a featured picture in compliance with following conditions:
The delisting rules are the same as those for FPs, with voting taking place over the same time period. The rule of the 5th day is applied to delisting candidates that have received no votes to delist, other than that of the proposer, by day 5. There is also a limit of two active delisting nominations per user, which is in addition to the limit of two active regular nominations. The FPCBot handles the vote counting and closing in most cases, current exceptions are candidates containing multiple versions of the image as well as FPXed and withdrawn nominations. Any experienced user may close the requests not handled by the bot. For instructions on how to close nominations, see Commons:Featured picture candidates/What to do after voting is finished. Also note that there is a manual review stage between when the bot has counted the votes and before the nomination is finally closed by the bot; this manual review can be done by any user familiar with the voting rules. Above all, be polite editPlease don't forget that the image you are judging is somebody's work. Avoid using phrases like "it looks terrible" and "I hate it". If you must oppose, please do so with consideration. Also remember that your command of English might not be the same as someone else's. Choose your words with care. Happy judging… and remember... all rules can be broken. See also edit

- Thank you for the questions and your support! The building was purpose-built for a Catholic parish. It opened in 1917 and still functions as such. It replaced a previous church building constructed in 1858. Ten windows were transferred from the 1858 building to the 1917 building, in addition to sixteen (then) new windows. See https://www.thecatholictelegraph.com/st-patrick-troy-marks-100th-thanksgiving/39069 I would like to include more about the studios that created the windows, but I have not found that information. --Nheyob (talk) 13:58, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

They are almost square in each segment of the body, and known to feel rigid when handled. The greater pipefish is found all around the British Isles and is regularly found in the Mediterranean Sea and, as shown here, in the coast of Portugal.

- It's not a question of being geek in my opinion, it's just that this picture measures only 24 × 56 pixels, and represents nothing. But even if it was Super Mario, Zelda or Lara Croft, I would simply find the resolution limited. By the way, recognizing an icon, whatever it is, Mona Lisa or else, is not a sufficient condition to promote such candidates in my opinion. Perhaps a COM:VI, less likely a COM:QI (too simple), but definitely not a FP for me. By the way, there's a large number of different versions in the history, some have different colors. I have no idea what are supposed to be the real colors here, but that may be an other issue. Best regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:41, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

- Done It was due to Topaz denoise. I've fixed it by applying a partial denoising. Also reduced the compression rate, so now the quality should be top. Concerning the image note, @Draceane, please add them on the FP nomination, not on the file page (otherwise they display on Wikipedia and elsewhere, and Wikipedia readers are usually not interested in technical flaws of an illustration when they read an article).

- Info Interior of the Cathedral of Brasília, Brazil. It was designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and engineered by Brazilian structural engineer Joaquim Cardozo, and was completed and dedicated on May 31, 1970. The cathedral is a hyperboloid structure constructed from 16 concrete columns, weighing 90 tons each. Created and uploaded by Donatas Dabravolskas - nominated by ★ -- ★ 19:36, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

- Symmetry is not a FPC guideline. The dizzy composition convinces me. ★ 23:26, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- It's a symmetrical architecture, wanted like this, designed with regular and geometrical lines. Thus the angle of view is important, photographically. By neglecting this aspect, the photographer does not highlight a major feature of this building. It's like photographing the interior of a traditional cathedral at an angle, it's not fundamentally wrong, but it's much less attractive than a balanced presentation -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:53, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

- Comment If I understand the article Vasu Vihara correctly, these ruins belong to a complex of religious buildings/monasteries. Therefore I have changed the gallery link from Places/Other to Religious buildings where we have other monastery FPs. – I wonder whether composition-wise another one of the drone photos would be more successful; e.g. this one has less visible distortion and I like the contrast between the trees and the regularity of the ruins. --Aristeas (talk) 11:52, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I agree with Aristeas. This picture does not add any information with respect to a map of the same building. Even worse there are distracting modern elements and people. The portion of the other temple on the right corner of the image does not give any value to the whole. On the contrary, the composition of this picture is excellent, and the same people and modern elements that are still present result unnoticed - an unavoidable, but negligible presence. --Harlock81 (talk) 22:23, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

And it’s a beautiful one – not just the mighty oak, but that it’s surrounded by younger trees … Of course it would be even better if the framing was always the same, and the summer and autumn photos show strong sharpening – but given the overall impact that’s nitpicking. --Aristeas (talk) 08:48, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

- Comment It’s more scratching than cutting. A very small part of the tree is out of sight, a little branch, probably half a metre long or so, a tiny fraction of its tall height.

- Question Nice light and composition but what caused the red marks like irritation of the skin under the lips? Ephemeral or permanent? It's not written in the description and I find them distracting. Are these stains representative of the person, or can they cause embarrassment? -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:58, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know. There's also an acne below the left eye. The good thing is that the author didn't remove them, which would give the face an unrealistic look.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 08:29, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The photographer uploaded the picture but the {{PR}} template was added by someone else. I don't mind the little red spot, but at full size the wound with the wrinkled skin reveals a sort of scab that is quite unsightly. And in the possible case where this visible mark was ignored by the subject or even undesirable, then the promotion of this picture (which will automatically be a future candidate at the POTY competition) could cause embarrassment. There are many pictures of different children in the series. Of course, in case where it is a permanent characteristic and therefore an assumed identity part, the portrait is different. However, nothing guarantees that this detail goes unnoticed in the other case -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- I don't get what's embarrassing here. It's likely that the scar is an HSV-1 symptom or a healing wound. We already have an FP of a girl with a similar scar below the lips, which used to be a candidate in the POTY 2012 competition, and there's nothing embarrassing at all.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:38, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Would you enjoy a picture of you with herpes buttons published on Commons, so that anyone can use it in newspapers, for example to illustrate an article about herpes?

And idem everybody are allowed to crop the image to zoom on the face close-up -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:03, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- That's a personal thing. If the author provides consent that the picture can be used, there's no reason to be afraid of the consequences (BTW, it's debatable whether it's herpes or a healing wound). I was once shot with a large acne on my cheek for my graduation from primary school long time ago, and I didn't want to get it removed because my face would look very unnatural. I don't regret it at all.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 12:07, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

- Comment The author was contacted and will upload a letter of consent for all portraits. A general concern was raised regarding the vague policies and the lack of apparent mechanism that photographers should follow to upload their letters of consent, so there are questions on where the document should be deposited, what should be the language, should there be a signature and who will check its veracity? (To be frank, these things are unclear even for me as a long-time contributor, probably because I haven't been interested very much in portrait photography.)--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:01, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Whatever the red line below her lips is, I find it too distracting. Whatever is below the lips of the girl depicted in the photo from 2012, it's less sharply and clearly depicted and probably less contrasting, so it's much less distracting or disturbing, but that photo might not pass if nominated today, because her face is not that sharp. And yes, I realize the irony of that statement, but it's not an issue that we're looking for the very best photos on the site here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:50, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support Assuming this file is the other one we're talking about, I prefer this one. These birds hang out around fresh water, typically down low around the vegetation. The other, while still feature worthy, looks like the sort of composition I'd expect for a gull, cormorant, or sandpiper by the ocean rather than a moorhen/coot/gallinule. This one feels more natural, while the contrast between the bird's dark body and light ground provide sufficient separation to make up for bokeh.

- In this sanctuary, the only options to get close to the bird islands are a short ride in a 20-seater covered rowboat with restricted view, or a longer ride in a 4-seater open rowboat where the rower will go where one wants, stop for taking photos. I've tried both, got better photos with the latter. --Tagooty (talk) 15:53, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

- Question The species is classed "Least concern." Is it hard to photograph, nevertheless? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:38, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: In this Sanctuary, the only way to get close enough to the islands where the spoonbills are found is in a small rowboat, hand-holding a 600 mm lens. While there are many images of spoonbills in Category:Platalea leucorodia, there are only 2 FPs of this species in Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Birds/Pelecaniformes#Genus : Platalea. They are most attractive in their breeding plumage only for a short period. Good to see you back on Commons! --Tagooty (talk) 06:16, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, much appreciated. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:15, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Not a difficult bird to photograph at all, Ikan Kekek. I've not managed an FP-quality shot yet but I much prefer this one I have just uploaded. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:18, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support Not the most obviously exceptional photo but looking at for a bit I think it has a certain grandeur. I like the striations in the rocks and I think it conveys the power of the rapids. Cmao20 (talk) 18:41, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Many rocks and pebbles have lines or patterns, so this one doesn't seem fundamentally different to me from any other. Although pleasant to look at, these falls are not really breathtaking. The bottom crop is too tight. It looks like the stones in the foreground are both present and absent, like an indecision on whether to include or exclude them, and so they are just cut short. The little piece of branch at the upper left also looks weird in the composition -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:45, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Assuming you use a tripod which was essential, you are being let down by your camera, I'm afraid. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:07, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Closing a featured picture promotion request edit
The bot edit
Note that the description below is for manual closure, this is mostly not needed anymore as there exists a bot (FPCBot) that counts the votes and handles the process below. However after the bot has counted the votes a manual review step is used to make sure the count is correct before the bot again picks up the work.
Manual procedure edit
Any experienced user may close requests.
- In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
(for example see Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:The Bridge (August 2013).jpg). See also {{FPC-results-reviewed}}.
{{FPC-results-reviewed|support=x|oppose=x|neutral=x|featured=("yes" or "no")|gallery=xxx (leave blank if "featured=no")|sig=~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate image template and add after the image tag
featured or not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], featured === - Save your edit.
- If it is featured:
- Add the picture to the list of the four most recently featured pictures of an appropriate gallery of Commons:Featured pictures, list as the first one and delete the last one, so that the number is four again.
- Also add the picture to the appropriate gallery and section of Commons:Featured pictures, list. Click on the most appropriate link beneath where you just added it as one of the four images. An image should only appear ONE time in the galleries. After a successful nomination, the image can be placed in several of the Featured pictures categories.
- Add the template {{Assessments|featured=1}} to the image description page.
- If it was an alternative image, use the subpage/com-nom parameter: For example, if File:Foo.jpg was promoted at Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Bar.jpg, use {{Assessments|featured=1|com-nom=Bar.jpg}}
- If the image is already featured on another wikipedia, just add featured=1 to the Assessments template. For instance {{Assessments|enwiki=1}} becomes {{Assessments|enwiki=1|featured=1}}
- Add the picture to the chronological list of featured pictures. Put it in the gallery using this format: File:xxxxx.jpg|# - '''Headline'''<br>created by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]], uploaded by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]], nominated by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]]
- The # should be replaced by 1 for the first image nominated that month, and counts up after that. Have a look at the other noms on that page for examples.
- You may simplify this if multiple things were done by the same user. E.g.: File:xxxxx.jpg|# - '''Headline'''<br>created, uploaded, and nominated by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]]
- Add == FP promotion ==
{{FPpromotion|File:XXXXX.jpg}} to the Talk Page of the nominator.
- As the last step (whether the image is featured or not; including {{FPX}}ed, {{FPD}}ed and withdrawn nominations), open Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination you've just finished closing. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:XXXXX.jpg}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/January 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
Closing a delisting request edit
- In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
'''Result:''' x delist, x keep, x neutral => /not/ delisted. ~~~~
(for example see Commons:Featured picture candidates/removal/Image:Astrolabe-Persian-18C.jpg) - Also edit the title of the delisting candidate image template and add after the image tag
delisted or not delisted
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] === becomes === [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], delisted === - Move the actual template from Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list to the bottom of the actual month page on Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/January 2024.
- If the outcome was not delisted, stop here. If it is delisted:
- Remove the picture from Commons:Featured pictures, list and any subpages.
- Edit the picture's description as follows:
- Replace the template {{Featured picture}} on the image description page by {{Delisted picture}}. If using the {{Assessments}} template, change featured=1 to featured=2 (do not change anything related to its status in other featured picture processes).
- Remove the image from all categories beginning with "Featured [pictures]" (example: Featured night photography, Featured pictures from Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, Featured pictures of Paris).
- Remove the "Commons quality assessment" claim (d:Property:P6731) "Wikimedia Commons featured picture" from the picture's Structured data.
- Add a delisting-comment to the original entry in chronological list of featured pictures in bold-face, e. g. delisted 2007-07-19 (1-6) with (1-6) meaning 1 keep and 6 delist votes (change as appropriate). The picture in the gallery is not removed.
- If this is a Delist and Replace, the delisting and promotion must both be done manually. To do the promotion, follow the steps in the above section. Note that the assessment tag on the file page and the promotion tag on the nominator's talk page won't pick up the /replace subpage that these nominations use.
Manual archiving of a withdrawn nomination edit
- In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
In the occasion that the FPCbot will not mark withdrawn nominations with a "to be reviewed" template and put them in Category:Featured picture candidates awaiting closure review just like if they were on the usual list, put the following "no" template:
{{FPC-results-reviewed|support=X|oppose=X|neutral=X|featured=no|gallery=|sig=--~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate image template and add after the image tag
not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], not featured === - Save your edit.
- Open Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:XXXXX.jpg}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/January 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
