Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates
Skip to: |
Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article. Taking the adage that "a picture is worth a thousand words", the images featured on Wikipedia:Featured pictures should illustrate a Wikipedia article in such a way as to add significantly to that article, according to the featured picture criteria.
If you believe an image should be featured, create a subpage (use the "For Nominations" field, below) and add the subpage to the current nominations section. For promotion, if an image is listed here for ten days with five or more reviewers in support and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Featured pictures list. Consensus is generally regarded to be a two-thirds majority in support, including the nominator and/or creator of the image; however, anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets. All users may comment. However, only those who have been on Wikipedia for 25 days and with at least 100 edits will be included in the numerical count. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis. Nominations started in December are given three extra days, due to the holidays slowing down activity here. The archive contains all opinions and comments collected for candidate nominations and their nomination results. If you nominate an image here, please consider also uploading and nominating it at Commons to help ensure that the pictures can be used not just in the English Wikipedia but on all other Wikimedia projects as well.
A featured picture can be nominated for delisting if you feel it no longer lives up to featured picture standards. You may also request a featured picture be replaced with a superior image. Create a subpage (use the "For Delists" field, below) and add the subpage to the current nominations section. Please leave a note on the talk page of the original FPC nominator (and creator/uploader, if appropriate) to let them know the delisting is being debated. The user may be able to address the issues and avoid the delisting of the picture. For delisting, if an image is listed here for ten days with five or more reviewers supporting a delist or replace, and the consensus is in its favor, it will be delisted from Wikipedia:Featured pictures. Consensus is generally regarded to be a two-thirds majority in support, including the nominator. Note that anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets. However, images are sometimes delisted despite having fewer than five in support of their removal, and there is currently no consensus on how best to handle delist closures, except that:If the image to be delisted is not used in any articles by the time of closure, it must be delisted. If it is added to articles during the nomination, at least one week's stability is required for the nomination to be closed as "Kept". The nomination may be suspended if a week hasn't yet passed to give the rescue a chance. Outside of the nominator, all voters are expected to have been on Wikipedia for 25 days and to have made a minimum of 100 edits. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis. As with regular nominations, delist nominations are given three extra days to run if started in December.

Is my monitor adjusted correctly? In a discussion about the brightness of an image, it is necessary to know if the computer display is properly adjusted. Displays differ greatly in their ability to show shadow detail. There are four dark grey circles in the adjacent image. If you can discern three (or even four) of the circles, your monitor can display shadow detail correctly. If you see fewer than three circles, you may need to adjust the monitor and/or computer display settings. Some displays cannot be adjusted for ideal shadow detail. Please take this into account when voting. Displays also differ greatly in their ability to show highlight detail. There are light grey circles in the adjacent image. If you can discern three (or even four) of the circles, your monitor can display highlight detail correctly. If you see fewer than three circles, you may need to adjust the monitor and/or computer display settings (probably reduce the contrast setting). Some displays cannot be adjusted for ideal highlight detail. Please take this into account when voting. On a gamma-adjusted display, the four circles in the color image blend into the background when seen from a few feet (roughly 75–150 cm) away. If they do not, you could adjust the gamma setting (found in the computer's settings, not on the display), until they do. This may be very difficult to attain, and a slight error is not detrimental. Uncorrected PC displays usually show the circles darker than the background. Note that the image must be viewed in original size (263 × 68 pixels) - if enlarged or reduced, results are not accurate. Note that on most consumer LCD displays (laptop or flat screen), viewing angle strongly affects these images. Correct adjustment on one part of the screen might be incorrect on another part for a stationary head position. Click on the images for more technical information. If possible, calibration with a hardware monitor calibrator is recommended. |

[edit]Voting period ends on 1 Aug 2024 at 17:25:59 (UTC)
- Reason
- Full disclosure: I'm not sure the skintones are perfect, but that's typical of photographs of the time. In photographs of him in crowds he doesn't appear to be so dark-skinned that I'd consider this entirely misleading, and this article describes him as a "light-skinned mulatto" - I presume that last term is much more acceptable in Brazil. Still, at least to modern eyes, it's probably lightening his skin at least a little bit. They tended to put a lot of light on the faces of dark skinned individuals to try and pull more detail since the film of the time lacked good differentiation of darker colours (and probably for racist reasons as well).
- That disclosure and the problems noted therein aside, for the time, this is quite a good photo. I did tweak levels to make it as unmisleading as possible. But I do believe that one should be honest about any flaws in the image when nominating.

- Comment – The painting is 23.4 feet wide, so at 5,872 × 4,008 pixels, the resolution is 21 pixels per inch. That's low. For a painting, fine details are lost at that resolution. I say 40+ pixels per inch can be Ok. Bammesk (talk) 12:34, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Screen resolution is 72 dpi. MER-C 16:34, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm willing to accept that very large paintings may have a low dpi because they're very large. However, I expect better than "Unknown source" for an image of a painting at FPC. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 19:31, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment - The EV is in showing at what level computer animation was in 1986, nine years before Toy Story was released... --Janke | Talk 14:49, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- This is correct - it should be noted that this test film predates The Abyss, which is the first full film to feature CGI water. I think it's a good representation of not just the technology of CGI at the time, but also what experimental CGI productions were like in the late 80s to early 90s, typically being plotless and very short, intended less for a general audience and more for animators in the CGI industry. I also think it holds educational value specifically pertaining to Pixar in a vacuum as well as CGI, as AFAIK it, alongside Luxo Jr., was the first instance of the "What if *insert object or abstract concept here* had feelings?" concept that Pixar - and American CGI animation in general - has become known for.

- Support – assuming the (lack of) copyright tag is valid. Bammesk (talk) 13:28, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Do we know if the animation was ever legally published before 1 March 1989? The Wikipedia article says that it was exhibited in 1986, but the s:Copyright Act of 1976 says that "A public performance or display of a work does not of itself constitute publication." Though, the Copyright Office's Circular 45 says that exhibiting a film at a film festival may constitute publication if "copies [are] made and [are] ready for distribution." prospectprospekt (talk) 15:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Its article says its an easter egg in Pixar Short Films Collection, Volume 1 so I would assume if its copywritten they would have added a copyright in the DVD. GamerPro64 04:48, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

There's an additional notice that says "Pixar Shorts © 2011 Disney/Pixar". There's no mention of Beach Chair or Flags and Waves in either the description of the contents or the copyright notices, take from that what you will. hinnk (talk) 05:08, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Question The wall on the right is strange. I guess it is like this in all prints that you've found. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:20, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Charlesjsharp: That's the edge of a, like, column or pillar? It's definitely a real object. You can see it better in a different image (sadly unavailable at a decent size) from the photographic session - I'm going to call that the "NYPL" image, for convenience. We could crop it: some of the publication uses crop or edit it out - [1] for example, which is the thumbnail for [2] is a half-tone print that crops rather harshly on the right. Likewise, there's a very harsh crop at [3], [4] - which I'd guess are photogravures or something else that degrades the image, because they're definitely worse quality than the photographic print I restored. I think they're the same image, but given I can barely tell the NYPL is different (look at the thumb and lack of wool on the table), I don't want to discount there being a third image that they were based on. Other copies like the Emily Dickenson Museum one appear to be a copy of the half-tone print from the LOC.
- There may (have been?) other images in that session. I think it's a drawing, but [5] looks a lot like the images from this session, but with a hand pose that blocks her face. It's definitely a drawing in File:Helen Hunt Jackson (The Magazine of Poetry and Literary Review, 1893).png and [6]. If that is based on a photo - and I can't see why you'd move the hand to block view of the face - the hand position likely blocks it from consideration, quirky though it may be. Meanwhile [7] - while composited - may indicate the existence of a standing photo of her. Possibly the same as this, but I'm starting to lose track of all these images.[8] has some thumbnails, including a few of a very young Jackson. All very small.
- We're nearing the end. Abandoning Conly to see what's out there, we can immediately abandon the goblin-faced terrible artwork in "A Short History of England's and America's Literature". There's another mediocre sketch on the Library of Congress.
- Finally, there's this from the Huntington, probably the best of the non-Conly photos that's available at a decent size. [9] is similar. This book has a lovely image of her, but I don't know where they got it from.
- Hope this helps! Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 00:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just to note, [10] does have the book cover image; probably cropped. Tineye indicates it was on JSTOR at some point? Honestly, if somone has the book, it'd probably be easier to check the photograph credit. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 01:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

- Support — Barely meeting the technical criteria is still meeting the technical criteria, and as a photo I find this both interesting and informative. If it passes, I would use it to link to lunar regolith simulant rather than lunar soil, as I think it's more illustrative of the former rather than the latter.

- Reason
- It is high-resolution (2,200 × 2,835 px), and captures Abraham Lincoln's likeness better than any other portrait. The Wikipedia caption of the image says "Lincoln’s character was notoriously difficult to capture in pictures, but Alexander Gardner’s close-up portrait, quite innovative in contrast to the typical full-length portrait style, comes closest to preserving the expressive contours of Lincoln’s face and his penetrating gaze."

- We now have copies of most of Alfred Hitchcock's silent films, and this one I think stands out among them. It's Hitchcock's first film to develop the "Hitchcockian" style we know today, and the article touches on a bunch of those elements and motifs. The restoration is a big improvement over previous releases, with better reproduction of the color scheme that Gainsborough Pictures used in the UK release (the opening scene is a good example, where instead of blue tinting it restores the amber tinting and blue toning used to look like street lighting at night).

However, if you look below the hand on the sign on the left, you will see a majorly blurry section. Not blurry as in the photo is blurry; the grain disappears. That's not in the current LoC copy.

Nominations — to be closed
[edit]Nominations in this category are older than ten days and are to be closed. New votes will no longer be accepted.
Older nominations requiring additional input from users
[edit]These nominations have been moved here because consensus is impossible to determine without additional input from those who participated in the discussion. Usually this is because there was more than one edit of the image available, and no clear preference for one of them was determined. If you voted on these images previously, please update your vote to specify which edit(s) you are supporting.
Closing procedure
[edit]A script is available that automates the majority of these tasks: User:Jujutacular/closeFPC
When NOT promoted, perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Not promoted| }} --~~~~
- Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
- If the nominator is new to FPC, consider placing
{{subst:NotpromotedFPC|Image name}}
on their talk page. To avoid overuse, do not use the template when in doubt.
When promoted, perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Promoted|File:FILENAME.JPG}} --~~~~
- Replace FILENAME.JPG with the name of the file that was promoted. It should show up as:
- Promoted File:FILENAME.JPG
- Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
- Add the image to:
- Template:Announcements/New featured content - newest on top, remove the oldest so that 15 are listed at all times.
- Wikipedia:Goings-on - newest on bottom.
- Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs - newest on top.
- Add the image to the proper sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures - newest on top.
- The caption for a Wikipedian created image should read "Description at Article, by Creator". For a non-Wikipedian, it should be similar, but if the creator does not have an article, use an external link if appropriate. For images with substantial editing by one or more Wikipedians, but created by someone else, use "Description at Article, by Creator (edited by Editor)" (all editors involved should be clear from the nomination). Additionally, the description is optional - if it's essentially the same as the article title, then just use "Article, by Creator". Numerous examples can be found on the various Featured Pictures subpages.
- Add the image to the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures - newest on left and remove the oldest from the right so that there are always three in each section.
- Add the Featured Picture tag and star to the image page using {{Featured picture|page_name}} (replace page_name with the nomination page name, i.e., the page_name from Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/page_name). To add this template you most likely will have to click the "create" button on the upper right if the "edit" button is not present, generally if the image originates from Commons.
- If an edited or alternative version of the originally nominated image is promoted, make sure that all articles contain the Featured Picture version, as opposed to the original.
- Notify the nominator or co-nominators by placing {{subst:PromotedFPC|File:file_name.xxx}} on each nominator's talk page. For example: {{subst:PromotedFPC|File:Blue morpho butterfly.jpg}}.
- If the image was created by a Wikipedian, place {{subst:UploadedFP|File:file_name.xxx}} on the creator's talk page. For example: {{subst:UploadedFP|File:Blue morpho butterfly.jpg}}.
Then perform the following, regardless of the outcome:
- Move the nomination entry to the top of the "Recently closed nominations" section. It will remain there for three days after closing so others can review the nomination. This is done by simply moving the line
{{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Page name}}
to the top of the section. - Add the nomination entry to the bottom of the July archive. This is done by simply adding the line
{{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Page name}}
from this page to the bottom of the archive. - If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.
Delist closing procedure
[edit]Note that delisting an image does not equal deleting it. Delisting from Featured pictures in no way affects the image's status in its article/s.
If consensus is to KEEP featured picture status, and the image is used in at least one article, perform the following:
- Check that the image has been in the article for at least one week. Otherwise, suspend the nomination to give it time to stabilize before continuing.
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Kept|}} --~~~~
- Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
- Optionally leave a note on the picture's talk page.
If consensus is to DELIST, or the image is unused (and consensus is not for a replacement that is used), perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Delisted|}} --~~~~
- Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
- Replace the
{{Featured picture}}
tag from the image with{{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/''Image name''}}
. - Remove the image from the appropriate sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures and the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs.
If consensus is to REPLACE (and at least one of the images is used in articles), perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Replaced|}} with File:NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME.JPG --~~~~
- Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
- Replace NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME.JPG with the name of the replacement file.
- Replace the
{{Featured picture}}
tag from the delisted image with{{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/''Image name''}}
. - Update the replacement picture's tag, adding the tag {{Featured picture|delist/image_name}} (replace image_name with the nomination page name, i.e., the image_name from Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/delist/image_name). Remove any no longer applicable tags from the original, replacement and from any other alternatives. If the alternatives were on Commons and no longer have any tags, be sure to tag the description page with {{missing image}}.
- Replace the delisted Featured Picture in all articles with the new replacement Featured Picture version. Do NOT replace the original in non-article space, such as Talk Pages, FPC nominations, archives, etc.
- Ensure that the replacement image is included on the appropriate sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures and the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs. Do this by replacing the original image with the new replacement image; do not add the replacement as a new Featured Picture.
Then perform the following, regardless of the outcome:
- Move the nomination entry to the top of the "Recently closed nominations" section. It will remain there for three days after closing so others can review the nomination. This is done by simply moving the line
{{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Image name}}
to the top of the section. - Add the nomination entry to the bottom of the archived delist nominations. This is done by simply adding the line
{{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Image name}}
to the bottom of the appropriate section of the archive. - If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.

It appears to depict the Jews gaining prosperity in the United States through "Perseverance and Industry" and acknowledging their persecution in the Russian Empire.

The underlying EV is good here given that Casio is best known for making affordable digital watches and this is a good example of their designs, but the placement of the image in a large gallery reduces the value of the image to readers.

The levels have been adjusted to give it more contrast, so it's less grey than File:Duck and Cover 1440 x 1080 01836081.webm but doesn't have the blown highlights in File:Duck And Cover (1951) Bert The Turtle.webm. hinnk (talk) 06:50, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- Since the original doesn't meet the size requirement, I found an alternative version of the image currently in Wings (1927 film)#Release and reception, a higher-resolution scan of a restored poster. There's not as much physical wear, although it could probably still use some digital retouching.

- Another in a series of photographs of photographers. There are a couple other options (e.g. File:Russell-Lee-FSA.jpg), but this one was by far the most widely used, and the one that looked the worst in the old version. I'd say the crop is fairly conservative: I didn't crop any of him (except maybe a few pixels at the bottom: edges aren't perfectly straight), but did take a smidgen more off the right to centre him, and cropped the weird... reflection? damage? intruding lights? at the top, which still has more than ample headspace.

- True, but in both these photos I see a focusing error. A grainy photo can also be sharp. --Janke | Talk 09:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Honestly, I suspect there's somewhat of an issue in the 40s of them knowing what images were being used for. No need to get an amazing perfect focus in an image that's never going to be seen bigger than about 6" (15cm) tall at most, or is going to be halftone printed. 1910-1950 is kind of a nadir of photography, so I'd say the second, especially, is decent for the era.
