Other featured candidates:
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 and current month.

Formal things[edit]Nominating[edit]Guidelines for nominators[edit]Please 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Artworks, illustrations, and historical documents[edit]There are many different types of non-photographic media, including engravings, watercolors, paintings, etchings, and various others.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:
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[edit]On 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 audio[edit]Please nominate videos, sounds, music, etc. at Commons:Featured media candidates. Set nominations[edit]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:
Simple tutorial for new users[edit]Adding a new nomination[edit]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 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:
Strongly recommended: 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. Voting[edit]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:
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 candidates[edit]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:
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 policy[edit]General rules[edit]
Featuring and delisting rules[edit]A 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. There is also a limit of two active delisting nominations per user, which is in addition to the limit of two active regular nominations. 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[edit]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. See also[edit]

Info The stairs of the observation tower Alpenblick in Ulrichsberg, Upper Austria, seem from the basement of the tower. Created and uploaded by Z thomas, edited by Ailura, nominated by --Aristeas (talk) 10:00, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
Support We have some featured picures of staircases, but most of them belong to castles, churches or expensive office buildings. This one is different: I was fascinated by this view of the stairs of an observation tower, a solid construction from mighty beams. When looking at it in detail, please consider that because of the extreme differences in depth it is impossible to get everything tack sharp.
The symmetry of the original photo was diminished a bit by that board at the right, therefore I have nominated this cropped version, because here at FPC we usually love symmetry; but if you prefer the original, please just state so, we can switch the nomination to the original.--Aristeas (talk) 10:00, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Support It's another great find. But I actually prefer the original because of its wider format and the fact it fills your vision better, especially since most now have widescreens. The board isn't that detracting in my opinion, so maybe it should be offered as an alternative. - Benh (talk) 10:57, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
Support The original metadata would be interesting but are unfortunately not included. I also like the original version of the image better.--Ermell (talk) 11:57, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
Info Thank you for your reviews, Benh and Ermell. As both of you prefer the original, it seems that my concern about lack of symmetry was superficial ;–). We are still in an early state of the nomination, so I have just switched the nomination to the original (uncropped) version of the photo and hope this is OK for everybody. If somebody prefers the cropped version, we can still offer it as an alternative version. Sorry for the confusion and thanks, --Aristeas (talk) 13:02, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Support The Stanislav Range Rear light was built in 1911 in what was then a brand-new, sensational design: a hyperboloid construction invented by the ingenious Vladimir Shukhov. This drone shot shows the tower’s situation and elegance very well: a light construction between sky and water, bright red between endless blue and the greenish shallow waters. The technical quality is good for a drone shot. I have edited the original photo to improve the image balance, to tone down the saturated colours a bit and to fix several minor issues; I hope you like the result. --Aristeas (talk) 09:32, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Giraffe - Bremerhaven[edit]
Voting period ends on 13 Feb 2023 at 10:55:09 (UTC)
Visit the nomination page
- Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Objects#Machines
Info This extraordinary container crane is located at the southern end of the Columbuskaje Bremerhaven and is nicknamed "Giraffe". It was built in 1976 by the Peiner Träger company. Since the area of the Columbuskaje where this crane is located is not built on solid ground but on wooden poles, the ground cannot support a normal solid construction container crane. To save weight, the crane was erected in a lattice construction. It is a full-fledged container crane with a height of 54 m and a jib length of 93 m. It can carry loads of up to 38 tons.
These shots may possibly be the last photos of this crane on Wikimedia as the crane is scheduled to be dismantled sometime in 2023.

Oppose poor crop on the right. --SHB2000 (talk) 23:09, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
Support That crop is unfortunate, but it would have been hard to find a better one. I don’t mind it because this is such an impressive photo, really National Geographic stuff. The tight crop takes us mid into the centre of action. Due to their costumes and the blurring effect of the rain the dancers appear somewhat ghostly, dancing like weightless apparitions through the rain; despite the difficult situation the colours are vivid (but not overdone), the frontmost person is astonishingly sharp, and the photographer has taken the right shutter speed to make the raindrops appear as rain – you can count them, but still see their motion. --Aristeas (talk) 09:27, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Info Romanesque belltower of the church of Santa Maria della Pieve, Arezzo, Italy. The construction of the 50 metres (160 ft) high belltower started end of the 13th century and was finished in 1330. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 18:03, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Support This is also a beautiful nocturnal street scene, very typical for Arezzo. It shows the remarkable situation of the bell tower: surrounded by solid buildings which must have been very high for the time in which they were built, the tower itself towers above all of them to an immense hight, allowing the ringing of its bells to resound freely over the whole city.

Support — Rhododendrites talk | 19:46, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
Support Works for me. This perspective on the tree turns the columbarium with its rather conventional architecture into an impressive monument. (I hope they don’t prune or fell that tree. I have seen such stupid things too often here in Germany – that trees which were the main attraction of a park, a cemetery or an avenue have been mutilated oder cut down for “practical” reasons or questionable security reasons.) --Aristeas (talk) 18:34, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- Mt. Auburn is known for starting the trend of garden cemeteries in the US back in the early 19th century. They wind up being at least as much about horticulture as burials/interments, and I dare say more people use them for parks/walks/birdwatching than because they have loved ones there. In other words, I think this ash is safe as long as it's healthy. :) — Rhododendrites talk | 19:00, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
- It’s very reassuring to hear this ;–). Thank you very much! --Aristeas (talk) 09:01, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- It's a National Historic Landmark as the first American rural cemetery. Once churchyard cemeteries started getting too full, someone got the idea that maybe cemeteries should be a pleasant place to spend your time, so it should have the same features as a park.
As a result of its heritage status I, too, doubt that one could take that tree down unless there were valid safety reasons (like, it was dead and posed a risk of collapsing on someone). Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Comment Kudos for the composition – it is difficult to achieve a satisfying photo of such vaults from a slanted angle, you have found a beautiful solution. However this vault is so wonderful that (like Ikan) I would wish for more resolution. In addition I also see a problem with the level of details, sorry: at “only” 2,560 × 1,600 pixels I would expect the photo to be perfectly crisp, but it is a bit soft. Probably this results from the camera settings. The D5300 uses a 24 megapixels APS-C (“DX”) sensor, so using ƒ/22 is too much, diffraction eats the fine details. Even on my FF (“FX”) camera I avoid aperture values > ƒ/11, and in theory at 18mm focal length on a APS-C (“DX”) sensor ƒ/8 should give enough DoF to get most of the vault in focus while maintaining a high level of details. In addition using ƒ/8 should also make it easier to use the base ISO value (100, I guess) instead of ISO 400, this should further improve fine details. --Aristeas (talk) 08:20, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Comment I think the male is prettier and the photo of the male that I linked is a better picture than this one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:14, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek: males are more colorful or ornamented than females in most bird species. That doesn't mean we should nominate only the pretty ones.

Comment Unfortunately, with JJ Harrison, sometimes he is competing with himself. While this is an excellent image, there is another one taken by him that IMHO is better (closer, very sharp) that is already FP on English Wikipedia and used to illustrate the Wikipedia topic of w:Hooded robin. At the moment, my preference as a Commons FP would be this earlier one. --GRDN711 (talk) 18:05, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

- Thank you for your comment. I just checked, but the histogram of the photo looks good and the photo processing is set to normal contrast. The bare steep rock walls are covered with fine crushed stone which is constantly moving.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 16:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Closing a featured picture promotion request[edit]
The bot[edit]
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[edit]
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 an 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.
- 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/February 2023), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
Closing a delisting request[edit]
- 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/February 2023.
- 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 shots, 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[edit]
- 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/February 2023), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
