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, 2024 and current month. For another overview of our finest pictures, take a look at our annual picture of the year election. |

Formal thingsNominatingGuidelines for nominatorsPlease 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 documentsThere 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." PhotographsOn 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 audioPlease nominate videos, sounds, music, etc. at Commons:Featured media candidates. Set nominationsIf 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 usersAdding a new nominationIf 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. VotingEditors 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 candidatesOver 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 policyGeneral rules
Featuring and delisting rulesA 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. 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 politePlease 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

Info Arc-eye hawkfish (Paracirrhites arcatus), Zanzibar, Tanzania. The specific name arcatus means “arched”, an allusion which Cuvier did not explain but it may refer to the horseshoe shaped mark behind the eye. It is found in shallow waters in the tropical Indo-Pacific on reefs, resting on coral heads much of the time. It's solitary and preys mostly on shrimps, small fishes, crabs, and other crustaceans. Note: no FPs of this species and only 2 of the whole family Cirrhitidae. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:10, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

- Yeah, when I got the Camera I set t he EXIF data like that. But when I upload to Wikipedia I have to release the rights. It remains in the EXIF, but its Creative Commons Share Alike With Attribution now. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 14:01, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Oppose One of those rare photos that looks better when viewed at full resolution with some very nice detail. But overall the lighting situation is just far too distracting; the subject is in deep shadow and the eye is drawn to the bright patches in the background. BigDom (talk) 06:46, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Would the image benefit from a tighter crop? The subject was under tree cover and you can see there was a gap in the canopy leading to that bright spot above and to the right of the subject. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 14:39, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Question I hate to ask this - but I think I botched it the last time I tried. If I upload another version of this image, how do I post it into the nomination? The last time I uploaded an image, it replaced the image nominated. I just want to follow the proper procedure. I have a 4488 x 2988 pixel version I can upload. Sadly, I cannot locate the original .PSD file or the Raw file. --Needsmoreritalin (talk) 02:13, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Comment Thanks for the question, Needsmoreritalin. If the new image is significantly different from the existing one, then a new version should be uploaded and placed with the headline template
====Alternative====
below the first image and all comments of this nomination. For example:[[File:New version.jpg|480x320px]]
. However, if it is only slightly different and represents a qualitative improvement, you can update the existing photo with a new upload. It is a pity that the original raw is not available. -- Radomianin (talk) 05:40, 30 August 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for the help! Luckily I have some old external HDDs and found the original raw file! The image may be a little different because I have new sharpening / denoise tools and the crop might not be exactly the same. It should be close. Worse case I can revert. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 22:45, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

The upper right corner is very white, and the turquoise hue in the center seems like fluorescent. The large area with strong shadow is not very appealing, and some houses have blow highlights.

They are only criticising the photograph, not the photographer. No one should expect all of their photos to become featured pictures.

- This is actually an uncropped image. I felt I got it right in the camera. I have two other versions of this "pose" and then several more at 160mm to get the fox sitting (full body) and two when it lay down shot at 200mm. This was my favorite of the bunch. I felt the negative space helped as that was the direction the fox was facing. And I liked the portrait. It was a wonderful moment for me. The fox came out of the tree line and headed towards me, then sat in the middle of the road before laying down in the street. I just sat there with it for a few minutes until it left.

Support Remembers me the "Three blind mice" in the James Bond film Dr. No --Llez (talk) 12:20, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Comment Sorry, but there is a problem with the file description and naming. The painting is not the one attributed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder, that is located at the en:Museo di Capodimonte, at Naples. It's instead the one in Paris. So, it should be attributed to Pieter Brueghel the Younger, even though the Google Art project says something different. Besides, on the Louvre Museum website, the attribution to Pieter Brueghel the Younger is presented just as an old one. I did just correct the article on en.wiki: en:The Blind Leading the Blind. --Harlock81 (talk) 12:45, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, but how do you know this is a copy by Brueghel the Younger? I guess the Louvre is an authoritative reference. Yann (talk) 13:34, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- For sure, this file does not reproduce the one painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The Louvre says: "La parabole des aveugles, d'après Pieter I Brueghel", The Blind leading the Blind according to, not by, Pieter I Brueghel. Also, at the attribution: School of Pieter I Brueghel, etc. The museum does not say it was painted by Pieter Brueghel the Older. The attribution of the painting in the Google Art Project is wrong, and consequently here. So, description and naming are wrong, for sure. This file reproduce the painting to which this category refers: Category:Parable of the Blind by Pieter Brueghel the Younger. The attribution of the painting to Pieter Brueghel the Younger is presented as dated by the Louvre Museum. So, the name of the file and the name of the category should not refer to Pieter Brueghel the Younger, but to the School of Pieter Brueghel the Older. The author should be considered unknown. Finally, the oldest painting, attributed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder, is the one conserved in Naples. Consequently, this one is a copy, painted by some pupil of him. --Harlock81 (talk) 13:55, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, it is a copy of the painting from Capodimonte, but attributing it to Brueghel the Younger is certainly wrong. Yann (talk) 14:01, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I don't understand your point. This picture reproduce the same painting to which this category refers, or not? I'm not saying that Brueghel the Younger is the author. It could be a way to distinguish two artworks that are similar: the one once attributed to Brueghel the Younger (and conserved in Paris), and the one painted by Bruegel the Elder (and conserved in Naples). For now, this file is in the wrong category, it is attributed to the wrong painter, and its title is misleading. --Harlock81 (talk) 14:19, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Images in Category:Parable of the Blind by Pieter Brueghel the Younger are of so poor quality that it is difficult to say. Anyway the attribution there may also be wrong, and we need external references, not self-references from Commons. For all we know, it may be a copy by Bruegel the Elder himself. Yann (talk) 14:41, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for your answer. The artwork hanging in the Louvre Museum, that is the one reproduced here, is the one once attributed to Brueghel the Younger (this does not imply that Brueghel the Younger actually painted it). This category refers to the artwork (once, in my opinion) attributed to Brueghel the Younger. It seems logical to me the conclusion that the category refers to the painting hanging in the Louvre Museum. Instead, you are not excluding that there is another artwork of Brueghel the Younger to which the category may refer. I'm quite sure that is not the case, but ok, let's go on. --Harlock81 (talk) 15:32, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Weak oppose The reproduction is good, of course, but information given in the file page is incomplete and, to some extent, misleading: Brueghel the Older is stated as the author; the uploading date is stated as the "date" (of the painting). The file page of the other candidate artwork is an excellent example of how it could/should be, with the suitable differences. I checked also the gallery, and there are not description pages like this among the tens that I opened. I'm sorry for the objection. --Harlock81 (talk) 22:52, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Comment High level of detail but lead room missing in my view. Very tight crop at the right -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:12, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm taking as reference pictures uploaded on [1]https://www.planespotters.net/ or [2]https://www.jetphotos.com/ where pictures' crop are very tight. So it is very usual to have this kind of picture with narrow crop for aicraft. I totally understand that it can be considered a lack a lead room but in my view, the picture represents only the object itself, not really the fact that he is landing on a runway. If you think that the picture will be more interesting, I can enlarge the crop and change ratio from 2:3 to 16:9. If I keep original ratio, I will have airport fences at the bottom of the picture. Shougissime (talk) 18:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, the crop is way too tight, and the overall image isn't compelling. An attractive sky or background, or dramatic lighting or angles are important for an FP of an airplane. I would crop fairly tightly behind the plane, but give it some room in front, the same way you've done for pictures of bicyclists. You don't need to crop to a particular ratio, do what's best for the image. I wouldn't use Jetphotos or Planespotters as guides for featured content on Commons.

Support Impressive building, nice composition and well-handled daytime light. The level of detail at full resolution is maybe slightly lacking but at most sizes it's pretty good.

Closing a featured picture promotion request
The bot
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
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/September 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
Closing a delisting request
- 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/September 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
- 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/September 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
