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.

Nominating

Guidelines for nominators

Please read the complete guidelines before nominating.

This is a summary of what to look for when submitting and reviewing FP candidates:

  • Licensing – Images licensed with solely "GFDL" or "GFDL and an NC-only license" are not acceptable due the restrictions placed on re-use by these licenses.
  • Resolution – Raster images of lower resolution than 2 million pixels (pixels, not bytes) are typically rejected unless there are strong mitigating reasons. This does not apply to vector graphics (SVGs).
    • Graphics on Commons are not only viewed on conventional computer screens. They may be used in high-resolution print versions, and the images may be cropped to focus on portions of the image. See Commons:Why we need high resolution media for more information.
  • Scans – While not official policy, Help:Scanning provides advice on the preparation of various types of images that may be useful.
  • General quality – pictures being nominated should be of high technical quality.
  • Digital manipulations must not deceive the viewer. Digital manipulation for the purpose of correcting flaws in an image is generally acceptable, provided it is limited, well-done, and not intended to deceive.
    • For photographs, typical acceptable manipulations include cropping, perspective correction, sharpening/blurring, and color/exposure correction. More extensive manipulations, such as removal of distracting background elements, should be clearly described in the image text, by means of the {{Retouched picture}} template. Undescribed or mis-described manipulations which cause the main subject to be misrepresented are never acceptable. For images made from more than one photo, you can use the {{Panorama}} or {{Focus stacked image}} templates.
    • For historic images, acceptable manipulations might include digitally fixing rips, removal of stains, cleanup of dirt, and, for mass-produced artworks such as engravings, removal of flaws inherent to the particular reproduction, such as over-inking. Careful color adjustments may be used to bring out the original work from the signs of ageing, though care should be taken to restore a natural appearance. The original artistic intent should be considered when deciding whether it is appropriate to make a change. Edits to historic material should be documented in detail within the file description, and an unedited version should be uploaded and cross linked for comparison.
  • Value – our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others. Pictures should be in some way special, so please be aware that:
    • almost all sunsets are aesthetically pleasing, and most such pictures are not in essence different from others,
    • night-shots are pretty but normally more details can be shown on pictures taken at daytime,
    • beautiful does not always mean valuable.
Artworks, illustrations, and historical documents

There 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:

  • Notable in its own right: Works by major artists, or works that are otherwise notable, such as the subjects of a controversy.
  • Of high artistic merit: Works which, while not particularly well known, are nonetheless wonderful examples of their particular type or school of art.
  • Of high historic merit: The historical method values very early illustrations of scenes and events over later ones. Hence, a work of poor quality depicting a contemporaneous historical event can be nonetheless important, even if the artistic merit is relatively low. Likewise, scans or photographs of important documents – which may not be at all artistic – nonetheless may be highly valuable if the documents are historically significant. The reason for the image's historical importance should be briefly stated in the nomination, for those reviewers unfamiliar with the subject.
  • Of high illustrative merit: Works that illustrate or help explain notable subjects, for instance, illustrations of books, scientific subjects, or technical processes. The amount of artistic merit required for these will vary by subject, but, for instance, an illustration that makes the working of a complicated piece of machinery very clear need not be notable as a piece of artwork as well, whereas an illustration for a book might well be expected to reach much higher artistic standards.

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

On the technical side, we have focus, exposure, composition, movement control and depth of field.

  • Focus – every important object in the picture should normally be sharp.
  • Exposure refers to the shutter diaphragm combination that renders an image with a tonal curve that ideally is able to represent in acceptable detail shadows and highlights within the image. This is called latitude. Images can be on the low side of the tonal curve (low range), the middle (middle range) or high side (upper range). Lack of shadow detail is not necessarily a negative characteristic. In fact, it can be part of the desired effect. Burned highlights in large areas are a distracting element.
  • Composition refers to the arrangement of the elements within the image. The "Rule of thirds" is one useful guideline. Horizons should almost never be placed in the middle, where they "cut" the image in half. Often, a horizon creating a top or bottom third of the space works better. The main idea is to use space to create a dynamic image.
    • Foreground and background – foreground and background objects may be distracting. You should check that something in front of the subject doesn't hide important elements and that something in background doesn't spoil the composition (for example that the streetlight doesn't "stand" on someone's head).
  • Movement control refers to the manner in which motion is represented in the image. Motion can be frozen or blurred. Neither one is better than the other. It is the intention of representation. Movement is relative within the objects of the image. For example, photographing a race car that appears frozen in relation to the background does not give us a sense of speed or motion, so technique dictates to represent the car in a frozen manner but with a blurred background, thus creating the sense of motion, this is called "panning". On the other hand, representing a basketball player in a high jump frozen in relation to everything else, due to the "unnatural" nature of the pose would be a good photograph.
  • Depth of field (DOF) refers to the area in focus in front of and beyond main subject. Depth of field is chosen according to the specific needs of every picture. Large or small DOF can either way add or subtract to the quality of the image. Low depth of field can be used to bring attention to the main subject, separating it from the general environment. High depth of field can be used to emphasize space. Short focal length lenses (wide angles) yield large DOF, and vice versa, long focal lenses (telephotos) have shallow DOF. Small apertures yield large DOF and conversely, large apertures yield shallow DOF.

On the graphic elements we have shape, volume, color, texture, perspective, balance, proportion, noise, etc.

  • Shape refers to the contour of the main subjects.
  • Volume refers to the three dimensional quality of the object. This is accomplished using side light. Contrary to general belief, front lighting is not the best light. It tends to flatten subject. Best light of day is early morning or late afternoon.
  • Color is important. Oversaturated colors are not good.
  • Texture refers to the quality of the surface of the subject. It is enhanced by side lighting… it is the "feel" to the touch.
  • Perspective refers to the "angle" accompanied by lines that disappear into a vanishing point that may or may not be inside the image.
  • Balance refers to the arrangement of subjects within the image that can either give equal weight or appear to be heavier on one side.
  • Proportion refers to the relation of size of objects in picture. Generally, we tend to represent small objects small in relation to others, but a good technique is to represent small objects large contrary to natural size relationship. For example, a small flower is given preponderance over a large mountain…. This is called inversion of scales.
Not all elements must be present. Some photographs can be judged on individual characteristics, that is, an image can be about color or texture, or color AND texture, etc.
  • Noise refers to unwanted corruption of color brightness and quality and can be caused by underexposure. It is not a desirable quality and can be grounds for opposition.
  • Symbolic meaning or relevance … Opinion wars can begin here … A bad picture of a very difficult subject is better than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph.
Images can be culturally biased by the photographer and/or the observer. The meaning of the image should be judged according to the cultural context of the image, not by the cultural context of the observer. An image "speaks" to people, and it has the capacity to evoke emotion such as tenderness, rage, rejection, happiness, sadness, etc. Good photographs are not limited to evoking pleasant sensations …

You will maximise the chances of your nominations succeeding if you read the complete guidelines before nominating.

Video and audio

Please nominate videos, sounds, music, etc. at Commons:Featured media candidates.

Set nominations

If 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:

  • Faithful digital reproductions of works notable in their own right, which the original author clearly intended to be viewed as a set. Examples: pages in a pamphlet, crops (puzzle pieces) of a prohibitively large scan, a pair of pendant paintings. Not acceptable: Arbitrary selection of sample works by an artist.
  • A sequence of images showing the passage of time. They could depict frames of a moving/changing object or a static object during different times of day or different seasons. Examples: diagrams illustrating a process, steps of a dance, metamorphosis of an insect, maps/drawings/photos of the same subject over the years (frame of view should be more or less the same).
  • A group of images depicting the same subject from different viewpoints, preferably taken under the same lighting conditions when possible. Examples: Exterior and interior of a building, different facades of a building, different interior views, obverse and inverse of a banknote/coin. Not acceptable: A selection of different rooms in a skyscraper, the facade of a church plus an organ, any images of fundamentally different scopes.
  • A group of images which show all possible variations of a particular class of object. Examples: Male and female versions of an animal (preferably in the same setting), all known species of a genus. Not acceptable: A few breeds of cats (unless they share a defining characteristic and represent all possible examples of that).

Adding a new nomination

If 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 2: follow the instructions on the page that you are taken to, and save that page.

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:

{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Your image filename.jpg}}

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: Commons:Featured pictures/Sports#Individual sports An image will only appear ONE time in the galleries. After a successful nomination, the image can be placed in several of the Featured pictures categories.

Optional: if you are not the creator of the image, please notify them using {{subst:FPC-notice|Your image filename.jpg}} -- ~~~~.

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

Editors 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:

  • {{Support}} ( Support),
  • {{Oppose}} ( Oppose),
  • {{Neutral}} ( Neutral),
  • {{Comment}} ( Comment),
  • {{Info}} ( Info),
  • {{Question}} ( Question),
  • {{Request}} ( Request).

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:

  • No reason
  • "I don't like it" and other empty assessments
  • "You can do better" and other criticisms of the author/nominator rather than the image

Remember also to put your signature (~~~~).

Over 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:

Text to use Displays as Meaning
{{Keep}}  Keep It deserves to remain a featured picture
{{Delist}}  Delist It does not deserve to be a featured picture anymore.

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:

Text to use Displays as Meaning
{{Keep}}  Keep Do not replace the old image with the new image as a FP.
{{Delistandreplace}}  Delist and replace Replace the current FP with the proposed replacement.

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:

  • Information on the origin of the image (creator, uploader);
  • A link to the original FP nomination (it will appear under "Links" on the image description page);
  • Your reasons for nominating the image and your username.

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.

General rules

  1. The voting period is 9 complete days counted from the nomination. After the end of this period the result will be determined. Votes added on day 10 and after are not counted.
  2. Nominations by anonymous contributors are welcome.
  3. Contributions to discussion by anonymous contributors are welcome.
  4. Only registered contributors whose Commons accounts have at least 10 days and 50 edits can vote. Exception: registered users can always vote in their own nominations no matter the account age and number of edits.
  5. Nominations do not count as votes. Support must be explicitly stated.
  6. Nominators and authors can withdraw their nominated pictures at any time. This is done by adding the following template: {{Withdraw}} ~~~~. Also, remember that if more than one version is nominated, you should explicitly state which version you are withdrawing.
  7. Remember, the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects. This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project.
  8. Rules of the 5th day based on vote counts on day number 5 (day of nomination + 5):
    1. Pictures are speedy declined if they have fewer than two support votes.
    2. Pictures are speedy promoted if they have 10 support votes or more and no oppose votes. (Note that if it takes more than five days to reach this threshold, the picture can be promoted as soon as it is reached.) This does not apply to nominations containing at least one ‘Alternative’ image – because it is possible that another image can overtake the one in the lead during the last days, such nominations are never closed early.
    3. Once either speedy criterion is reached, the voting period is considered closed, and no more votes may be added.
  9. Pictures tagged {{FPX}} may be removed from the list 24 hours after the tag was applied, provided there are no support votes other than that of the nominator.
  10. Pictures tagged {{FPD}} (FP-Denied) may be removed from the list 24 hours after the tag was applied.
  11. Only two active nominations by the same user (that is, nominations under review and not yet closed) are allowed. The main purpose of this measure is to contribute to a better average quality of nominations, by driving nominators/creators to choose carefully the pictures presented to the forum.

Featuring and delisting rules

A candidate will become a featured picture in compliance with following conditions:

  1. Appropriate license (of course)
  2. At least seven  Support votes (or 7  Delist votes for a delist) at the end of nine days
  3. Ratio of supporting/opposing votes at least 2/1 (a two-thirds majority); same for delist/keep votes
  4. Two different versions of the same picture cannot both be featured, but only the one with higher level of support, as determined by the closer. Whenever the closer is not sure which version has consensus to be featured, they should attempt to contact the voters to clarify their opinions if not clear from the nomination page.
  5. Only two active delisting nominations per user, which is in addition to the limit of two active regular nominations.

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 polite

Please 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.

  •  Oppose Good documentation image but midday sun (13:28 according to the exif) coming from left side (according to the orientation of the shadows), creating a dull light. This is not something you can change afterwards. My eyes are caught by the wastes and litter in the water, and look for something more exciting to compensate. Unfortunately the houses are not colorful (like in Manarola for example), and seem quite ordinary with the uniform red of their standard bricks. Slightly blurry foreground (perhaps fixable with AI tools). I think Commons has many photos of this kind, featuring banal architecture and taken in the middle of the day. Perhaps at sunrise, sunset, golden hour, blue hour, or under a special sky, a stormy weather for example, or colorful clouds, the subject would appear more special -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:09, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I am fine with it. Its slum, aka mess, Manarola is Lux city. Midday sometime help to avoid shadow, unless godlen hours with sun behind. Foreground is not so sharp but if you cut it some info would be lost, like chanel and drying on balcony. --Mile (talk) 09:41, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support For finding a composition that works in a chaotic urban landscape worth capturing. — Rhododendrites talk |  14:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mile, Rhododendrites, your observations are acute and shareable. Thank you Wilfredor for your commitmentː  Support Terragio67 (talk) 18:56, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, Terraglo67, although the photo does not show the reality of extreme poverty, nor the dangers associated with being in this environment, such as the insecurity faced by visitors and residents, taking this photo was not easy. The insecurity in these places is high, and I have already experienced being threatened with a gun in a favela. On this occasion, thank God, it didn’t happen, but it was a quick shot: I saw the place, had a few minutes, took the photo, and left calmly. Unlike photographing a tourist destination or a European landscape, this image carries a complex background full of social, economic, and personal factors that make it much more than just a simple capture. Wilfredor (talk) 22:33, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Agree with Basile’s statements, but the subject (a slum) relativizes our criticism; e.g., waste and litter in the water (which are normally a deficit) are an integral part of this photo. And Rhododendrites is right that the composition makes the photo special. – Aristeas (talk) 08:40, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Info The picture was certainly once a good, outstanding photo in the 2000s, but times change and this is especially true for this photo. Today it wouldn't even be a QI. The resolution is low and yet the image appears blurred. There are various image blurs and image errors and it is also tilted. What annoys me the most is the cropping of the houses at the bottom of the picture - to me it looks arbitrary. (Original nomination)
  •  Delist -- Fonzoyo (talk) 17:24, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist - Excellent for the age, but I don't think it meets current standards.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:42, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep It would not be promoted today, but for 2008, sixteen years ago, it is a very standard quality. As the procedure for delisting is manual and long, I can't imagine nominating all the FPs promoted at this period for the reason they are not so good in 2024's. If you sharpen this picture with Topaz AI for example, it would be fine. Acceptable composition and light in my opinion.
Look at the archives, the picture that was promoted just after this one by chronological order, is File:Lunar Crepuscular Rays 2.jpg, which is much worse, so... good luck to find them all :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:24, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Unless there’s a better photo with similar features, I would agree to delist it. However, the factor of time also plays a role. Unless we had a time machine to see how the place looked back then, I don’t think anyone can reasonably delist photos like this. --Wilfredor (talk) 03:38, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Light and composition are fine. The technical quality … well, is solid for the time of its creation. Digital photography – and especially digital cameras and lenses which are in the reach of Commons users – has come a long way since the 2000s. I don’t think we should replace our FPs repeatedly like a snake sheds its skin; let’s sort out the worst which were not great even in their time, and keep the rest which can thus serve also as a vivid history of respectable digital photography. – Aristeas (talk) 13:42, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep As an author of image firstly. But also there exist very great number ot Wikipedia pages, on them this image is presented for long time without any problems. -- Karelj 09:05, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist Even back then, some reviewers cited technical deficiencies that are even more serious today. --Msb (talk) 17:04, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep per Aristeas and Basile. --SHB2000 (talk) 22:34, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Struck vote until clarified -- Giles Laurent (talk) 00:36, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Strong oppose I thought its technical quality is good since it is a QI. Now that its been revealed to have been digitally manipulated to deceive viewers, this should definitely not be a featured picture. Maybe its QI should also be revoked. --Zzzs (talk) 22:46, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Agree with the discussion below that the background apparently has been replaced. We could allow the cut-out, but in any case such a substantial edit must (i) be explained and (ii) done in the best possible way – right now there are some rough edges and (at the bottom) some strange pixels which may be remnants of the original background. – Aristeas (talk) 07:40, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, part of the wing is floating in green. Definite cut out. Struck my support - still great, but the cutout should be noted (and is a bit rough).  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:02, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment - @Charlesjsharp: , so you have asked the uploader to respond at 21:17, 4 September 2024 (UTC) and started rallying everyone at 15:49, 5 September 2024 (UTC) ans asked for withdrawal of nomination at 20:54, 5 September 2024, citing that they have not responded, which is less than 24 hours time for them. Isn't it too much to expect from volunteers from global south countries to respond then and there? I hope you understand that, people can have their own real life problems to deal with and not everyone might be in a super privileged position to respond in volunteer capacity on an emergency basis as and when asked. Personally, I don't have any issues if the FP nomination is rejected on technical grounds and if everyone changes the vote from support to reject but rallying and targeting without giving ample time to respond and not assuming good faith towards the editors, who have been contributing to Wikimedia sites in a significant way, can very well be demotivating to many people. Unlike you, I am not pinging anyone, who voted here, without any kind of expectation for them to change their votes or their minds, but I simply hope that everyone can at least assume good faith towards the uploader and provide him sufficient time to respond. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 08:26, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • dear,this is not a cut out background.i am ready to show raw file also.please inform me where to upload the raw file . Anitava Roy (talk) 12:56, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    As implied by Giles, Commons does not support the upload of raw files so you'll need to upload it elsewhere and link to it here. Two other options are Google Drive or Dropbox. — Rhododendrites talk |  15:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  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)[reply]
 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)[reply]
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)[reply]
@Needsmoreritalin: Wonderful, many thanks for your efforts! A huge gain for the level of detail in this great photo :) -- Radomianin (talk) 01:45, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks you too. If it weren't for your comment I wouldn't have gone looking for the file. And I found some other images I haven't seen in years that may help improve some other articles too. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 02:55, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you for your sincere and competent assessment on reaction to my vote above. Poco a poco (talk) 19:27, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @El Golli Mohamed, you need to stop revenge voting. Just because someone doesn't agree with one of your images becoming a featured picture does not mean you should revenge vote. They are only criticising the photograph, not the photographer. No one should expect all of their photos to become featured pictures. The community loves your photos, but some don't meet a certain standard. It's not worth being blocked for and losing a significant contributor of FPCs on Commons. This behaviour is unacceptable, and I strongly recommend you stop. Zzzs (talk) 00:11, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Blind leading the Blind, by Pieter Bruegel the Elder
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • Honestly, I don't understand what you want. I changed the credit and the description to match the Louvre description. I created a Wikidata item, and renamed the category. Yann (talk) 21:03, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

  1. 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)
    {{FPC-results-reviewed|support=x|oppose=x|neutral=x|featured=("yes" or "no")|gallery=xxx (leave blank if "featured=no")|sig=~~~~}}
     (for example see Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:The Bridge (August 2013).jpg). See also {{FPC-results-reviewed}}.
  2. 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 ===
  3. Save your edit.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

  1. 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)
  2. 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 ===
  3. 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.
  4. If the outcome was not delisted, stop here. If it is delisted:
    1. Remove the picture from Commons:Featured pictures, list and any subpages.
    2. Edit the picture's description as follows:
      1. 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).
      2. 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).
      3. Remove the "Commons quality assessment" claim (d:Property:P6731) "Wikimedia Commons featured picture" from the picture's Structured data.
    3. 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.
  5. 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

  1. 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=--~~~~}}
  2. 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 ===
  3. Save your edit.
  4. 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.
