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.

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

- Question WB done from File:Maria Alexandrovna by Winterhalter (1857, Hermitage) 2.jpg. Should we remove the yellowish color from the paintings? ?. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just a question, could it have been the yellow light on the paint or the paint itself being yellow? --Wilfredor (talk) 19:46, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ask yourself, if we don't remove the patina on an FP of this, why should we remove it from other paintings? Restauration work on oil paintings should be done by a professional conservator-restorer to reveal the original colors, not by Photoshop. --Cart (talk) 20:08, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your clarification. I confess that I recently went to see the Mona Lisa and I confess that I found a painting with the "original" or restored colors, very different from the image I had of the Mona Lisa for so many years. It left me with a taste of falseness in my mouth, and all the paintings seemed bluish. I still have that feeling of having seen a fake Mona Lisa, even though I know it was the original. In some old objects such as coins, restoring them reduces their value because during the restoration process the passage of time is removed and sometimes implies destruction of something. I remember having taken some other photos (not in the Louvre) where the light was yellow and direct on the painting, which made the painting turn yellowish and with a reflection that I had to carefully remove in post-production, but it was not easy to find a reference point for the true color without removing the natural coloring of the painting.

The spotted hyena, native to sub-Saharan Africa, is a highly successful animal, being the most common large carnivore in Africa.

- Oppose What has changed since last week? Nothing? Then it's a remake of Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Panoramica do Pico das Agulhas Negras.jpg/2.
- I don't think it is clever to renominate again and again the same FPCs that get 5 supports or 6 supports, until you get the 7. If a picture gets lack of participation, it is usually an indicator of moderate or low wow. Then it's better to try a different candidate. Otherwise you will exhaust the participants with repetitive visuals. And we will support only to get rid of these patterns. Apart from that, this image is of low quality, in my opinion, even for the period.

Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:54, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- With all respect, Adam, you're not responsible. But ArionStar had been warned several times in the past, with quite clear messages. I understand this is your picture and want it promoted, since you nominated it the first time. But both of you had voted already last week. So what do you expect? Many of us may get tired with such repetitive tasks, if it gets a norm. Let's maintain FPC as an enthusiastic and emulative voting place instead, with diversity.
- If a picture fails, no problem, just accept the consensus and try something better! See the list of similar candidatures which didn't pass last month, only because one or two votes were missing:
- score 5-0, score 6-0, score 5-0, score 7-4, score 13-7, score 7-4, score 5-2, score 6-1, score 5-2, score 6-0, score 5-3, score 5-0. Imagine all of them nominated for a second round, hell :-) "Okay, bad luck, I'll try again next week" :-)
- We had related discussions in previous nominations and the FP talk page, and I remember most of the people consider we have to wait a relatively long period of time before renominating a picture, unless there are modifications made since the last time. Which is not the case here. Best regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:52, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

- Question @Thi, Yann, George Chernilevsky, and Lviatour: did you notice this picture has failed just last week?
- It is similar to Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Couillet - chevalements de la mine du Pêchon - 7.jpg/2 also nominated by the same user ArionEstar = ArionStar = ★ with the reason "Per 6 supports × 0 opposes.". This result may impact the voting process in the future. Adam Cuerden is certainly aware of this "tacit rule" since he made this suggestion in the FPC talk page in 2019 . @Ikan Kekek: proposed to wait at least 12 months here. Like Daniel Case's procedural oppose, many participants agree. What others think? -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:28, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Very nice birdy. But may it be this is an immature bird (this, for instance, is presumably a picture of an adult Coracias caudatus specimen), in this case this should be also described as such. Also, of course, Category:Protected areas of Tanzania is clearly redundant, because: "Protected areas of Tanzania" -> "National parks of Tanzania" -> "Serengeti National Park" (-> "Animals of Serengeti National Park" -> "Birds of Serengeti National Park"), you should therefore remove it from all your uploaded picture of the same session, if there are more available. --A.Savin 17:43, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comment. I'm not sure yet if it's a juvenile and I will do more research on it (I don't want to add a statement to the file without being sure of it), if it's the case I'll edit accordingly. As for the category "Protected areas of Tanzania", it is automatically added to all uploads made with the WLE in Tanzania 2024 upload wizard and may be needed or useful to the organizers. Therefore I would prefer to wait until the end of WLE 2024 in case this category is needed for the national or international jury depending how their scripts where made. Once WLE 2024 has ended, I'll happily remove that category that was automatically added. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 02:40, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

- Support Wow that's very appealing. I like the way the clear and sharp glass structure in the foreground is interacting with the very moody and blurry background. The bird is adding wonderfully to this composition. This image is telling a story about a nice evening at the sea and "Fernweh". --August (talk) 22:59, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support Translucent glass spheres work very well with the contre-jour light. Although out of focus, the bird is nice and adds something to the atmosphere.

- Oppose 6 FPs at once is a lot of FPs. Quality is good but right now I don't see what makes this pulpit special. It lacks wow to me and I couldn't find on the Internet anything special about it. Poco a poco (talk) 17:38, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Info Not the pulpit itself, but the church, where it is located. St. Genesius (Riedböhringen) is the burial church of cardinal Augustin Bea, one of the most important personalities of the Second Vatican Council and personal confessor of Pope Pius XII. -- Llez (talk) 18:34, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose First and last pictures are not extraordinary, in my opinion. Unexceptional angles of view, distorsions in the first case, yellowish interior light. The four statues also seem quite repetitive. When opened individually, each image has limited wow factor, I think. The last one, if nominated alone, would certainly fail, due to the composition. Thus the only reason to be part of this set seems to show the stairs, which are not really special, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:57, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Info 1.) It is not a yellowish light, but the walls are slightly beige. You can check it by comparing them with the white tablecloth in the left picture. 2.) The reason was not to show the stairs, but it was, in connection with the first picture, the only way to show the position of the four evangelists at the pulpit. --Llez (talk) 09:06, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- In a set, each picture should be FP-level, and not only "in connection with" the others. That angle, with the angel from behind, numerous busy elements, uneven ground, and shadows, is particularly unappealing -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:30, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

The hadada ibis, that occurs throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, is a large ibis (about 76 centimetres (30 in)) with a mean body mass of 1.2 kilograms (2.6 lb). It is named for its loud three to four note calls uttered in flight especially in the mornings and evenings when they fly out or return to their roost trees.

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/August 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/August 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/August 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
