Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates
Skip to: |
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 adage 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, create a subpage (use the "For Nominations" field, below) and add the subpage to the current nominations section. For promotion, if an image is listed here for ten days with five or more reviewers in support and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Featured pictures list. Consensus is generally regarded to be a two-thirds majority in support, including the nominator and/or creator of the image; however, anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets. All users may comment. However, only those who have been on Wikipedia for 25 days and with at least 100 edits will be included in the numerical count. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis. Nominations started in December are given three extra days, due to the holidays slowing down activity here. The archive contains all opinions and comments collected for candidate nominations and their nomination results. If you nominate an image here, please consider also uploading and nominating it at Commons to help ensure that the pictures can be used not just in the English Wikipedia but on all other Wikimedia projects as well.
A featured picture can be nominated for delisting if you feel it no longer lives up to featured picture standards. You may also request a featured picture be replaced with a superior image. Create a subpage (use the "For Delists" field, below) and add the subpage to the current nominations section. Please leave a note on the talk page of the original FPC nominator (and creator/uploader, if appropriate) to let them know the delisting is being debated. The user may be able to address the issues and avoid the delisting of the picture. For delisting, if an image is listed here for ten days with five or more reviewers supporting a delist or replace, and the consensus is in its favor, it will be delisted from Wikipedia:Featured pictures. Consensus is generally regarded to be a two-thirds majority in support, including the nominator. Note that anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets. However, images are sometimes delisted despite having fewer than five in support of their removal, and there is currently no consensus on how best to handle delist closures, except that:If the image to be delisted is not used in any articles by the time of closure, it must be delisted. If it is added to articles during the nomination, at least one week's stability is required for the nomination to be closed as "Kept". The nomination may be suspended if a week hasn't yet passed to give the rescue a chance. Outside of the nominator, all voters are expected to have been on Wikipedia for 25 days and to have made a minimum of 100 edits. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis. As with regular nominations, delist nominations are given three extra days to run if started in December.

Is my monitor adjusted correctly? 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 adjacent 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. Displays also differ greatly in their ability to show highlight detail. There are light grey circles in the adjacent image. If you can discern three (or even four) of the circles, your monitor can display highlight detail correctly. If you see fewer than three circles, you may need to adjust the monitor and/or computer display settings (probably reduce the contrast setting). Some displays cannot be adjusted for ideal highlight detail. Please take this into account when voting. On a gamma-adjusted display, the four circles in the color image blend into the background when seen from a few feet (roughly 75–150 cm) away. If they do not, you could adjust the gamma setting (found in the computer's settings, not on the display), until they do. This may be very difficult to attain, and a slight error is not detrimental. Uncorrected PC displays usually show the circles darker than the background. Note that the image must be viewed in original size (263 × 68 pixels) - if enlarged or reduced, results are not accurate. Note that on most consumer LCD displays (laptop or flat screen), viewing angle strongly affects these images. Correct adjustment on one part of the screen might be incorrect on another part for a stationary head position. Click on the images for more technical information. If possible, calibration with a hardware monitor calibrator is recommended. |

- Short of having an Estonian speaker, I don't see referencing reaching a point where the orange tag can be safely removed. As for the length, 3,300 words is about par for 150 years of history, especially for a company that has been deemed culturally and historically significant (for comparison, the current TFA is 7,700 words).

A Peculiar Family[edit]
Voting period ends on 24 Apr 2023 at 00:45:05 (UTC)
- Reason
- The play itself is... obscure. It does exist, and it probably just about meets GNG since there's newspaper reviews.
- However, this is the only illustration of William Brough's plays we have, and also part of a highly notable theatrical troupe's early days. I think it's great for that reason, even if the play is obscure.

- Support – I see that one reviewer described it as a burletta (i.e., a comic opera), but The Musical Times (April 1, 1865, p. 29) was not impressed by its musical qualities: "A Peculiar Family, although cleverly written, and acted ... with more real intelligence than we often see at the regular theatres, has so little claim on our notice in a strictly musical point of view, that we content ourselves with merely recording its success." Ouch. Still, the image gets a support from me. I wish the text were online, because I really want to know what the significance of the china plate is, and what the suspicious German soldier is writing down in his little notebook. Choliamb (talk) 12:21, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- I believe the music was by Thomas German Reed, as most of Brough's works had music arranged or written by German Reed. He's honesly not a terrible composer; We did A Sensation Novel a bit before COVID, and - while we had a score by a modern composer (Mike Nash), we had a listen to the extant Reed pieces. They're a mixed bag, though:
- "No father's care" is sentimental smaltz, but pretty good sentimental smaltz.
- "Oh Agony, and O despair" is pretty decent
- The Detective's Song is good - but not good enough for six verses without variation!
- the Jewel Song was actually really good (and we used it instead of the Nash setting; we also used O agony, but Nash never set that one as he knew O agony existed, but the rest were discovered after he set them).
- However, given those survived by being published, it's quite possible that those are the best of the opera's songs, so A Peculiar Family might well be a middling score with a few highlights. It's also possible at least a few of the songs exist, as I don't think anyone's been looking for them (A Sensation Novel's songs were literally right there in the V&A archives, though I don't think they were indexed as Sensation Novel songs, even if the opera's name was in small print on the cover), and it wasn't unheard of for songs to get new lyrics added for publication to make them more generic for a general audience.

- Leviathan is one of the most famous and significant books of western political thought. Its frontispiece is surely the most famous book cover of western political thought. I'll only speak for the UK, but I'd expect anyone with a degree in politics or philosophy (along with plenty of people who studied history, law, or similar) to have at least a passing familiarity with it. Anyone with an interest in the history of political thought will (or should) have some interest in the book, and that's far more than just a few academics.

- I'd say that's not a problem; we've promoted plenty of obscure things. I think the big problem is that there's no caption in the article.

- I added a caption in the article. The mimetite is micro (i.e. small) and seems to be distributed. The color of each mineral is listed in its corresponding article's infobox: [1][2][3]. As far as "multiple things exist", and User:Geni's concern below, the article says "pure endmembers of the series are seldom if ever seen in nature", so that's a feature of this mineral, not a defect or bug.

- Support. Historical image serves an encyclopedic purpose in its article, and nice example of a photochrome as well. I was briefly confused at the contrast between its waterfront view and the modern photo with a road, but I think the water is just out of sight on the other side of the road. I'm also not entirely satisfied with the composition (I think there too much water and not enough sky to balance) but that's neither here nor there and not something we should think about changing. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:27, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Nominations — to be closed[edit]
Nominations in this category are older than ten days and are to be closed. New votes will no longer be accepted.
Older nominations requiring additional input from users[edit]
These nominations have been moved here because consensus is impossible to determine without additional input from those who participated in the discussion. Usually this is because there was more than one edit of the image available, and no clear preference for one of them was determined. If you voted on these images previously, please update your vote to specify which edit(s) you are supporting.
Closing procedure[edit]
A script is available that automates the majority of these tasks: User:Jujutacular/closeFPC
When NOT promoted, perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Not promoted| }} --~~~~
- Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
- If the nominator is new to FPC, consider placing
{{subst:NotpromotedFPC|Image name}}
on their talk page. To avoid overuse, do not use the template when in doubt.
When promoted, perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Promoted|File:FILENAME.JPG}} --~~~~
- Replace FILENAME.JPG with the name of the file that was promoted. It should show up as:
- Promoted File:FILENAME.JPG
- Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
- Add the image to:
- Template:Announcements/New featured content - newest on top, remove the oldest so that 15 are listed at all times.
- Wikipedia:Goings-on - newest on bottom.
- Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs - newest on top.
- Add the image to the proper sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures - newest on top.
- The caption for a Wikipedian created image should read "Description at Article, by Creator". For a non-Wikipedian, it should be similar, but if the creator does not have an article, use an external link if appropriate. For images with substantial editing by one or more Wikipedians, but created by someone else, use "Description at Article, by Creator (edited by Editor)" (all editors involved should be clear from the nomination). Additionally, the description is optional - if it's essentially the same as the article title, then just use "Article, by Creator". Numerous examples can be found on the various Featured Pictures subpages.
- Add the image to the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures - newest on left and remove the oldest from the right so that there are always three in each section.
- Add the Featured Picture tag and star to the image page using {{Featured picture|page_name}} (replace page_name with the nomination page name, i.e., the page_name from Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/page_name). To add this template you most likely will have to click the "create" button on the upper right if the "edit" button is not present, generally if the image originates from Commons.
- If an edited or alternative version of the originally nominated image is promoted, make sure that all articles contain the Featured Picture version, as opposed to the original.
- Notify the nominator or co-nominators by placing {{subst:PromotedFPC|File:file_name.xxx}} on each nominator's talk page. For example: {{subst:PromotedFPC|File:Blue morpho butterfly.jpg}}.
- If the image was created by a Wikipedian, place {{subst:UploadedFP|File:file_name.xxx}} on the creator's talk page. For example: {{subst:UploadedFP|File:Blue morpho butterfly.jpg}}.
Then perform the following, regardless of the outcome:
- Move the nomination entry to the top of the "Recently closed nominations" section. It will remain there for three days after closing so others can review the nomination. This is done by simply moving the line
{{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Page name}}
to the top of the section. - Add the nomination entry to the bottom of the April archive. This is done by simply adding the line
{{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Page name}}
from this page to the bottom of the archive. - If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.
Delist closing procedure[edit]
Note that delisting an image does not equal deleting it. Delisting from Featured pictures in no way affects the image's status in its article/s.
If consensus is to KEEP featured picture status, and the image is used in at least one article, perform the following:
- Check that the image has been in the article for at least one week. Otherwise, suspend the nomination to give it time to stabilize before continuing.
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Kept|}} --~~~~
- Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
- Optionally leave a note on the picture's talk page.
If consensus is to DELIST, or the image is unused (and consensus is not for a replacement that is used), perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Delisted|}} --~~~~
- Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
- Replace the
{{Featured picture}}
tag from the image with{{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/''Image name''}}
. - Remove the image from the appropriate sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures and the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs.
If consensus is to REPLACE (and at least one of the images is used in articles), perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Replaced|}} with File:NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME.JPG --~~~~
- Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
- Replace NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME.JPG with the name of the replacement file.
- Replace the
{{Featured picture}}
tag from the delisted image with{{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/''Image name''}}
. - Update the replacement picture's tag, adding the tag {{Featured picture|delist/image_name}} (replace image_name with the nomination page name, i.e., the image_name from Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/delist/image_name). Remove any no longer applicable tags from the original, replacement and from any other alternatives. If the alternatives were on Commons and no longer have any tags, be sure to tag the description page with {{missing image}}.
- Replace the delisted Featured Picture in all articles with the new replacement Featured Picture version. Do NOT replace the original in non-article space, such as Talk Pages, FPC nominations, archives, etc.
- Ensure that the replacement image is included on the appropriate sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures and the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs. Do this by replacing the original image with the new replacement image; do not add the replacement as a new Featured Picture.
Then perform the following, regardless of the outcome:
- Move the nomination entry to the top of the "Recently closed nominations" section. It will remain there for three days after closing so others can review the nomination. This is done by simply moving the line
{{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Image name}}
to the top of the section. - Add the nomination entry to the bottom of the archived delist nominations. This is done by simply adding the line
{{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Image name}}
to the bottom of the appropriate section of the archive. - If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.

The Geisha redux[edit]
Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 19 Apr 2023 at 18:55:16 (UTC)
- Reason
- Given my other nominations are passing, time for this one to come back. Featured picture on Commons, for what that's worth. Now, the first nomination pointed out that it's not from the first production, which is true. However, it's early enough to still be in the performing tradition of the first production (I know that, at least with Gilbert and Sullivan, it was required to use the exact prompt books provided up until they left copyright; I'm not sure this was quite as strict, but...) Also, there are multiple ways for an image to add value: This one is a great illustration of the opening number, and . It also gives a good feel of a production, since it shows more of the setting and scene, and I'm not sure the original posters did that. While it's a major work in the development of musical theatre, it's unlikely a traditional production with a high budget will happen again (the "selling off the geisha" plotline is going to feel kind of awkward nowadays to just casually throw in).

Looks like an excellent example of the European fascination with Japonaiserie in both plot and imagery, and I'm sure a Saidian analysis would be quite fruitful. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:14, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Aye. It's an interesting cultural relic, but it feels like the orientalism go well beyond things like The Mikado or The Good Person of Szechwan, or even most adaptations of Aladdin, probably because late-Victorian musical theatre so actively encouraged such a flippant use of the setting.

Only thing at all odd is that fingerprint-like mark at the bottom right of the shadow on her neck, which might be an artifact of historical (e.g. contemporaneous to the image) retouching. I'd leave it, though: It could also just be her clavicle. More relevantly, there's light spots around where you moved the photographer's stamp (which isn't required, but also isn't forbidden). May be worth some tweaks there. It's worth uploading a PNG version as well, since JPEGs are a lossy format so repeated saving of JPEG images can cause degredation.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern[edit]
Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 15 Apr 2023 at 04:54:52 (UTC)
- Reason
- Now that I've actually done some things this year - c.f. the three nominations currently up, although admittedly the Kendals had a big chunk done last year - Let's have a look at some things that probably should have passed already. This is a second nomination (See: Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern), but the first was during a particularly quiet period that we've moved past. This isn't from the first production, but it is one that not only was directed by Gilbert (the author), but one that included him acting, so it it at least captures the artistic vision of the author.
- As an aside, I think it does an excellent job at showing how images were prepared for woodblock engravings: Most of them had a lot of middle-shadow with some darker and lighter bits that more care is put into. This really shows how the careful are of the woodblock was planned for - if I can get the published version, this is going right up there in woodblock engraving alongside it, but for now, let's judge it for the play.
- And it does a great job illustrating the play. Key scenes, key characters, gets a lot of the feel of the work across in a way that I don't think any other known illustration does. And I've studied Gilbert. Absolutely stable in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (play), despite a series of March edits, which means it's stable for six months. Perhaps not as meaningful as on some articles, but it's also stable in Hamlet, so that's saying something. FP on Commons, for what that's worth.
- Articles in which this image appears
- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (play), Hamlet (in the section on derivative works; again, quite stable), and also in the articles for two performers: Madeleine Lucette Ryley and Nathaniel Newnham-Davis (journalist).

- Support – I find this illustration very interesting, even if it refers to a performance which is subsequent the play's main run. I think it is effective in representing an idea of the show, and to have good EV for this reason. (Actually, I personally like the thickness of the original border). –Lion-hearted85 (talk) 23:57, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

W. H. Kendal as Philamir and Madge Kendal as Zeolide in W. S. Gilbert's The Palace of Truth[edit]
Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 14 Apr 2023 at 05:26:24 (UTC)
- Reason
- It's not a perfect composition, but, for the time (1870), I think it did a very good job. The Kendals were two of Gilbert's favourite actors, so they appeared in a lot of early Gilbert works,
as such, they can't all appear in the Kendals' articles.actually, this is way better quality than the one that was in them. But this adds a lot to the article by showing them, reenacting a scene from the opera, in costume. - Articles in which this image appears
