This star, with one point broken, symbolizes the featured candidates on Wikipedia.

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.

Promoting an image

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.

Delisting an image

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.

Note that delisting an image does not mean deleting it. Delisting from Featured pictures in no way affects the image's status in its article(s).

Step 1:
Evaluate

Evaluate the merit of a nomination against the featured picture criteria. Most users reference terms from this page when evaluating nominations.

Step 2:
Create a subpage

For Nominations

To create a subpage of Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates for your nomination, add a title for the image you want to nominate in the field below (e.g., Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Labrador Retriever) and click the "Create new nomination" button.

For Delists (or Delist & Replace)

To create a subpage for your delist, add a title for the image you want to delist/replace in the field below and click the "Create new delist nomination" button.

Step 3:
Transclude and link

Transclude the newly created subpage to the Featured picture candidate list (direct link).

How to comment for Candidate Images

Write Support, if you approve of the picture. A reason is optional.
Write Oppose, followed by your reasoning, if you disapprove of the picture. All objections should be accompanied by a specific rationale that, if addressed, would make you support the image. If your concern is one that can only be addressed by the creator, and if they haven't nominated or commented on the image, and if they are a Wikipedian, you should notify them directly.
You can weak support or weak oppose instead, so that your opinion will be weighed as half of a "full" opinion.
- To change your opinion, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.
If you think a nominated image obviously fails the featured picture criteria, write Speedy close followed by your reasons. Nominations may be closed early if this is the case.

Recommendations added early in the process may be disregarded if they do not address concerns and/or improvements that arise later in the debate. Reviewers are advised to monitor the progress of a nomination and update their votes accordingly.

Prior to giving an opinion, the image should be assessed on its quality as displayed at full size (high-resolution) in an image editing program. Please note that the images are only displayed at thumbnail size on this page. The thumbnail links to the image description page which, in turn, links to the high-resolution version.

How to comment for Delist Images

Write Keep, followed by your reasons for keeping the picture.
Write Delist, followed by your reasons for delisting the picture.
Write Delist and Replace if you believe the image should be replaced by a better picture.
You can weak keep, weak delist or weak delist and replace instead, so that your opinion will be weighed as half of a "full" opinion.
- To change your opinion, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.

Please remember to be civil, not to bite the newbies and to comment on the image, not the person.

You may find the glossary useful when you encounter acronyms or jargon in other voters' comments. You can also link to it by using {{FPCgloss}}.

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. Edits should be appropriately captioned in sequential order (e.g., Edit 1, Edit 2, etc), and describe the modifications that have been applied.

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.

Reason: Another part of the cleanup of the Nadar article. An article on his son had spun off recently, and I found a picture for it. It's a short article, but should be sufficient enough.

Claude Debussy[edit]

Voting period ends on 26 Jan 2024 at 16:12:26 (UTC)

Reason: As I mentioned below, I'm going through and fixing up the Nadar images. This one isn't actually in the Nadar article anymore (it's Atelier Nadar, i.e. the studio of Nadar, so not necessarily by him. Also... it was another, much inferior copy. I've replaced that copy (and a similar image with his head in a slightly different angle) with this one. As for my speed of late - let's just say my sleep schedule's been shot to hell, so I have a lot of time where no-one's really up but me.

Meteorite in Miller Range blue-ice area[edit]

Reason: This photo shows a blue-ice area with the characteristic, wind-scoured blue ice ... except for the meteorite, a common find in such blue-ice areas, and its lee where normal snow has accumulated. It's a large image that seems to be of good quality.

I like the restoration, but there's two issues, in my opinion: First of all, it's used very late in the article, without really a ton of emphasis.

The photo has some non-visible white spots and a few scratches that can only be seen when zoomed in. I am confident that if those are removed then it would be a good image. Thanks for the new photos, i'll probably do something with those. I like the second image because I believe it represents him well. I think that when people think of Adlai E.

Question These are new to me and amazing. But what is the brown 'frame' that runs around the art? This doesn't appear other images on Google. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:42, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment I think it's because I have taken the picture with the flash. On the pictures I have not used the flash, the line doesn't appear but the pictures are not sharp.--Bgag (talk) 15:09, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It is related to the use of flash, but it looks very strange close up. I suspect the camera moved and the flash fired twice. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:01, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment - Awkwardly cut off at right, gives the impression of a cave, which it is not. --Janke | Talk 15:36, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment – The shadow is from a typical on-camera flash, nothing unusual about it. It's a nice and valuable photo and it enhances the articles, but the right quarter of the photo isn't sharp (viewed at full size). A higher F-number or a sharper lens could've improved the sharpness. Bammesk (talk) 00:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No it isn't. It is not typical. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:32, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Considering the geometry, with an overhanging ceiling and the distances involved, I agree with Bammesk's conclusion. Oppose because a better photo can certainly be shot. --Janke | Talk 16:54, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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 January 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.

Recently closed nominations[edit]

Nominations in this category have already been closed and are here for the purposes of closure review by FPC contributors. Please do not add any further comments or votes regarding the original nomination. If you wish to discuss any of these closures, please do so at Wikipedia talk:Featured picture candidates. Nominations will stay here for three full days following closure and subsequently be removed.

For the record, reading up more, a lot of the blurring was apparently added intentionally in post-processing.

Do you know what I mean when I say that the first people to do things can sometimes do them a lot less well than they'd be done later? This is photography composition before the refinement, kind of major because it attempted to get multiple levels and has prominent people in a landscape shot.

The whole point of an encyclopaedia is that people can find hard-to-find information, in this case an image. The rarer the subject, the more important it is to have an image. With rare animals, so little is known about them that many articles are stubs. I don't see the relevance of being able to construct a copy block. Is that a new FP criteria?

I will say that this is a fairly obscure butterfly, at least in English and on the web. I can't find very much on it. This might be a little bit of a problem as regards the risk of the article being upmerged to the genus, but I suspect it's just a situation that would need specialised books or databases. African content is much more poorly referenced on the web, and we know that - at the very least - there's going to be the initial report by Fabricius on the species. 1787 would put it in his Mantissa insectorum. So Latin sources. Fun. The genus name has changed (which is common), but I'm pretty sure it's this page https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/82321#page/94/mode/1up and that would provide enough to expand the article enough to squeak by POTD.

Rock Springs massacre[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 14 Jan 2024 at 00:00:00 (UTC)

Reason: It's a contemporary illustration of a tragedy, and covers a very poorly-discussed part of United States history. Strong documentary value. The description mentions photos, but there's no evidence they still exist (and likely would have been of the aftermath, not the event itself) and this is long-standing as the lead of the article.

Conditional support - There is just one question: is this an absolute original, without any later restoration or modification that might still be under copyright? The video size is 1,296×1,080 pixels, almost totally scratch free, which clearly indicates a hi-res transfer done by Disney. Interestingly, here in Finland, the source link on the file info page "https://video.disney.com/watch/steamboat-willie-4ea9de5180b375f7476ada2c" does not display the movie, but automatically changes to https://www.disney.fi/ - I assume this is done by Disney's server? --Janke | Talk 14:03, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment: For anyone interested, just a few days ago, Disney uploaded their "Once upon a Studio" short on their YouTube channel. It's a wonderful trip to 100 years of nostalgia: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB90me0aqSY" ... --Janke | Talk 14:07, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment No one knows. The copyright card says MCMXXIX rather than MCMXXVIII however the only things that look like they might be post 1928 are the copyright card itself and the end-card. Both feature gloved Mickey. Gloved mickey doesn't make his animated debut until The Opry House in early 1929. There is a possible gloved Mickey from 1928 mind File:Steamboat Willie 1928 Poster.png. What I suspect is going on what that at some point in 1929 Steamboat was being offered to distributes as a bundle with other mickey shorts and the copyright card and end card were added at that point but its hard to be sure.©Geni (talk) 00:29, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment @Janke: the link works correctly for me (in the US). The current revision of the file is the same as the source, but with the black bars on the side cropped out, hence 1296 instead of 1920 (I used HandBrake for it). The first revision of the file is identical to what is available from the Disney website (no cropping). There's some more details in this Commons discussion.
