Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates

From Free net encyclopedia

(Redirected from WP:FPC)

Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article. Taking the common saying that "a picture is worth a thousand words", the images featured on Wikipedia:Featured pictures should illustrate a Wikipedia article in such a way as to add significantly to that article, according to the featured picture criteria.

If you believe an image should be featured, please add it below to the current nominations section. Conversely, if you believe that an image should be unfeatured, add it to the nomination for delisting section.

For listing, if an image is listed here for seven days with four or more supporting votes (including the nominator if it was not a self-nomination), and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Featured pictures list. If necessary, decisions about close votes will be made on a case-by-case basis.

The archive contains all votes and comments collected on this page and also vote tabulations.

Nomination procedure

Review Wikipedia:What is a featured picture? to make sure the image is up to standards.
1. If you think your picture may not meet standards add it to Wikipedia:Picture peer review for review.
Create a new subpage named Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/ExampleName

Copy the following content into the new blank subpage:

Do not change this portion of text at all: {{subst:PAGENAME}}

===[[Wikipedia:{{subst:PAGENAME}}| ExampleName ]]===

[[ Image: Example.jpg |thumb| Caption goes here ]]

Add your reasons for nominating it here; 
say what article it appears in, and who created the image.

*Nominate and '''support'''. - ~~~~ 
*

<!-- additional votes go above this line  -->
{{-}}

Add {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/ExampleName}} to the top of the list in the Current nominations section of this page.
Add Template:Tl to the nominated image's page. This inserts the featured pictures candidate template, to let the original contributor and other interested parties know that the image is up for voting.

Please be aware that the first date on the subpage should always be the date when it was placed on this page.If you have problems formatting your nomination, someone else will fix it, don't worry! If you wish simply add your image to Wikipedia:Picture peer review, and if someone likes it they will nominate it.

[edit]

Supporting and opposing

If you approve of a picture, write Support followed by your reasons.
If you oppose a nomination, write Oppose followed by your reasons. Where possible, objections should provide a specific rationale that can be addressed.
- To change your vote, strike it out (with <del>...</del>) rather than removing it.

Votes added early in the process may be disregarded if they do not give any reasons for the opposition. This is especially true if the image is altered during the process. Editors are advised to monitor the progress of a nomination and update their votes accordingly.

[edit]

Evaluating dark images

Image:Shadowtest.jpg

In a discussion about the brightness of an image, it is necessary to know if the computer display is properly adjusted. Displays differ greatly in their ability to show shadow detail. There are four dark grey circles in the above image. If you can discern three (or even four) of the circles, your monitor can display shadow detail correctly. If you see fewer than three circles, you may need to adjust the monitor and/or computer display settings. Some displays cannot be adjusted for ideal shadow detail. Please take this into account when voting.

[edit]

Editing candidates

If you feel you could improve a candidate by image editing, please feel free to do so, but do not overwrite or remove the original. Instead, upload your edit with a different file name (e.g. add "edit" to the file name), and display it below the original nomination.

[edit]

Nomination for delisting

Here you can nominate featured pictures you feel no longer live up to featured picture standards. Please leave a note on the original uploader and/or nominator's talk page to let him know the delisting is being debated. The user may be able to address the issues and avoid the delisting of the picture.

Note: Please use Delist or Keep as your vote.

If consensus is to keep status then archive nomination for removal on archive page and optionally leave a note on the picture's talk page, also note your conclusion on the bottom of the removal candidacy section.
If consensus is to remove status then remove the {{FeaturedPicture}} tag and leave a note on the picture's talk page, also note your conclusion on the bottom of the removal candidacy section. Also remove the image from Wikipedia:Featured pictures visible and the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs.
Note that delisting an image does not equal deleting it. Delisting from FP in no way affects the image's status in its article(s).

Machu-Picchu.jpg

Image:Machu-Picchu.jpg Another one from March 2004 informally promoted. Not a patch on the new candidate. Delist ~ Veledan • Talk 20:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Delist, a much better version is about to be promoted. And even if it weren't, the pic is much to small. --Dschwen 09:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Delist: per above. --Hetar 07:55, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Delist. Too small. Much better version will most probably a FP. Mikeo 09:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Delist. I'm re-nominating the (fixed) panorama. --Janke | Talk 10:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Delist too small, pano is Betta!. -Ravedave 02:43, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Mtl-metro-map.png

Image:Mtl-metro-map.png Image:Mtl-metro-map.svg I can't find any evidnce of this ever having been promoted or discussed. And anyway, it's a small tube map. Delist ~ Veledan • Talk 20:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

It probably was - we just didn't have proper archiving back then. ed g2s • talk 02:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I spent the whole of yesterday afternoon searching the histories. The other pics I nominated for delisting took some finding too - none of the pics were shown in their respective discussions which made it tough ~ Veledan • Talk 12:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

It's a small tube map which is an essential contribution to the Montreal Metro article. I'm sure drawing a map like this is a lot more work than snapping some of the pictures which can be seen at WP:FP. Anyway, the file format is a knock-out so delist PNG, but keep if... an SVG version is provided (and the copyright notice is removed from the image, this belongs on the image page or the SVG source as a comment if you wish). --Dschwen 09:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Delist. Odd copyright info and rather small. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 05:43, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
- The copyright isn't odd, it's GFDL (someone should clip off the copyright notice on the bottom). Neutral to delisting, keep it if an SVG is found.BrokenSegue 14:25, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
  - Yes, sorry, that's what I meant. Odd copyright info... on the image. ---LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 15:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
I "found" (i.e. made) an SVG version, and I can testify that it really is a lot of work :) -- grm_wnr Esc 04:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- The SVG version ommits accents such as on Collège. If they were reincluded I might support its replacement. BigBlueFish 17:52, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
  - Umm... As far as I can tell, it doesn't (at least I see one on the Orange Line station Du Collège - is there another place where I missed one?) -- grm_wnr Esc 22:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
    - Eek... my mistake. On the default Wikipedia SVG rendering though, the accents are all only a couple of pixels, barely enough to show what type of accent they are. I don't know if a different font could be used to improve this. At any rate, I suppose the current SVG is acceptable seeing as it does have the accents. BigBlueFish 10:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Keep No reason for delisting. Quality is good. It is illustrative. Plus the effort needed to make this one was most probably much higher than for some of the supported snapshots above. Mikeo 08:06, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Promote the SVG and delist the png. Broken Segue 22:10, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Keep edit I cant find any missing accents... -Ravedave 02:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Delist. A FP should impress and create interest in the article. I just don't see any diagram do that. --P199 02:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Disagree. For a very good diagram, see the recent "leaf morphology" FP - wow! --Janke | Talk 07:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Delist. Not goose-bump inducing... Seriously, this is good in its article, but not so stunningly good it deserves FP. It's too cramped, the typography and layout is not "the very best WP has to offer". --Janke | Talk 07:04, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

This awesome picture is on the color page. Who doesn't like a picture of a sunset! Photo taken by User:Fir0002 Xerxes2004 • Talk

Keep. - Xerxes2004 01:43, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Comment looking into this (just quickly), it looks like this was never a FP, so it shouldn't be here - this is where we "de-featurify" images. If you want to re-nominate it, please do it at the top of the page. --Janke | Talk 07:00, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Comment. Seems like it was previously nominated at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Sunsets. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 23:09, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
