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, 2023 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Artworks, illustrations, and historical documents[edit]There are many different types of non-photographic media, including engravings, watercolors, paintings, etchings, and various others.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:
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. 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]

- Neutral. I'm abstaining from voting as the author. What you see is the north side of Cork City, with the conspicuous St. Anne's Church, aka Shandon Bells, aka "Four Faced Liar" because each face of the clock shows a different hour. The image was taken last Saturday (Oct. 28, 2023) morning, and is selected out of over a hundred frames I shot from before sunrise till 9am or so. The clouds had been building up in the background for a long while before taking the shape I found balanced enough. The decision for centered composition is deliberate here, and I carefully picked the vantage spot and positioned the camera with "pixel precision" using a geared head. There is no post-processing cropping. CPL filter was used to make clouds more pronounced. Curves, local adjustments, and cleanup of unwanted spots close to edges was done in post-processing. Most of my shots in this series were at ISO100, but I quickly switched to ISO800 (kudoz to Canon's Fv mode which rocks!) when I saw the Ryanair airplane approaching the Cork Airport, to freeze it. I think it plays well with the clouds. It had already started to rain when I took this picture, and then it poured... all my equipment was soaking by the time I found shelter.

- Comment very nice mood, but quality seems not up to FP standards in terms of sharpness and noise. Tomer T (talk) 09:48, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Excess noise. --SHB2000 (talk) 11:13, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Tomer T's and SHB2000's make sense in the Wikimedia informative context. The grainy "look" may be pleasing aesthetically but is not adding merit. I have now denoised the picture, and brightened (just a tad as not to lose the mood) -- please check it out.
- Oppose Underexposed, boring centered composition and weird colours. I think this image just hasn't the potential for FP, no matter how many fixes you'll add on top. - Benh (talk) 20:55, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose Good informative value, and sun is a capricious visitor on British Isles indeed (I too need to hunt for it here...). I'm opposing because the composition really bothers me here, with horizon very straight but awkwardly neither at 1/2 or 1/3, perceived heaviness at the bottom due to too much space taken by pebbles (was that deliberate?), the warning sign which spoils the otherwise peaceful content. Somehow this picture won't stand out for me, maybe it is idiosyncratic looking at how many support votes the image received... Podstawko ●talk 08:53, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Podstawko Thanks for the detailed review, just replying since you asked a question and will address a couple of your other points (which are very fair) at the same time. The horizon, fair enough, I was aiming for 1/2 but looking again in Camera Raw it is about 50 pixels off halfway. I could happily lose 100px of pebbles at the bottom to get it more precise. The pebbles were deliberate because I liked their texture, but of course deliberate doesn't mean it was objectively a good idea! As for the warning sign, well, it was there and there's not much I could do about it, but actually I quite like it for its educational value and the way it adds some tension to the scene. Cheers, BigDom (talk) 10:06, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
- Neutral IMO too much foreground. The sign is disturbing - but not a problem. Sharpness could be better too. --XRay 💬 16:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Alternative version[edit]
- Info @ABAL1412, Terragio67, Ikan Kekek, Famberhorst, Agnes Monkelbaan, Milseburg, Rosalina474418, Podstawko, and XRay: The original is doing OK votes-wise but I've taken on board the last couple of comments about the foreground and present here a 2:1 crop with much less of the pebble beach visible. It also has the advantage of placing the horizon on the 1/3 line now. Just pinging you all for feedback as much as anything as I always welcome constructive comments. Cheers, BigDom (talk) 17:09, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

- Info Blue whale skeleton at the Central Hall of the Natural History Museum, London, England. 'Hope', nickname of the blue whale skeleton, is 25.2 metres (83 ft) long and is suspended from the ceiling since July 14th 2017. Blue whales are the largest creature ever to have lived in the Earth. In the 1800s there was an estimated amount of 250,000 blue whales across the world's oceans. After decades of commercial hunting the species was to the brink of extinction, with only around 400 surviving in 1966. That year the world took action in London and decided to legally protect blue whales from commercial hunting. Since then the population of blue whales has steadily grown to its current level of around 20,000.

- Info Chapel of St. Saviour, Cathedral, Norwich, England. It's the chapel of the Royal Norfolk Regiment and the Royal Anglian Regiment. On the wooden seats are the names of the places where these units have fought. The Anglican cathedral is dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity. The construction of the building begun in 1096 at the behest of the first bishop of Norwich, Herbert de Losinga. When the crossing tower was the last piece of the Norman cathedral to be completed; measuring 461 feet (141 m) and 177 feet (54 m) wide, the cathedral was the largest building in East Anglia. The present structure of Norwich Cathedral is primarily Norman. The cathedral was damaged during the riots of 1272; repairs were completed in 1278. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 13:22, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

- Question Do any Nikonites know what "strobe return light detected" means? Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:36, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
- See here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/23418568#:~:text=Return%20detected%20means%20that%20the,the%20flash%20to%20be%20illuminated.
- My understanding is that the camera determines the amount of ambient light in prior to flash. Camera then does a nearly imperceptible pre-flash attempting to determine subject reflectivity, etc. and uses this info to modulate the power of the flash itself. Then the camera does the proper flash and compares the amount of light coming through the lens at a period of time that should correspond to the moment of the flash. I don't know what the threshold would be to declare "strobe return light detected" or not--it's probably complicated. Pdanese (talk) 20:52, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
- Question Considering the recent discussion of best practices in regard to using flash on birds, is it a potentially mortal danger to the frog to use flash and potentially point out its location to predators? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:00, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
- From my personal point of view, it looks like the biggest problem with flash photos is for wild birds, and there are recommendations for that, so I'll be a hard-liner on that subject. In this case I would go with reasoning similar to that on the slug photo. I also like that this photo is taken by a eco-researcher from Universidade Federal do Amazonas. I guess he knows what he's doing. I think that the Wiki-project should encourage the works of local photographers, since that makes the material more diversified and the Wikis more inclusive, plus (bonus) it means less air travels to get the photos.
- More generally here on FPC, photos by "outsiders" are often sneered upon as inferior, since those photographers don't know our pixel-peeping rules. They are judged harder and that needs to change. A great composition trumps some technical shortcomings. --Cart (talk) 08:22, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Support Thanks. I feel like the level of details I can view at 50% of full size makes this an FP, even if it might or might not be as sharp as an equivalent photo by someone like Charles could be. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:09, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

- Support I really like that we get a wide overview of the castle’s situation over the river Main (we have enough detail photos of the Henneburg). The delicate yellowish green of the plants and the light blue of the sky make me feel the spring. The benches seem to invite us to rest and to enjoy this view. --Aristeas (talk) 08:03, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

- Info The castle is not the only subject here but also the spring atmosphere around. I removed some bird spots, but not real dust spots. --Milseburg (talk) 18:20, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose I feel like the composition is imbalanced. Excluding the castle, the tree on the left is bigger than the one on the right and occupies basically the entire left third up to almost the edge, so more of the visual weight is on the left. And yet the castle, a small but prominent element, is also slightly on the left, making the overall composition left-heavy. The lighting is also not too exciting. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:43, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Random composition. —kallerna (talk) 06:48, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

* Neutral The design exhibits multiple inconsistencies and technical deficiencies. The hands of the knight, for instance, seem to have been created using raster instead of genuine vectorization, which starkly contrasts with other parts of the image. Furthermore, the color of the hands does not match that of the face, creating a visual disconnect. Upon close examination, one can identify issues with the vertices of the vectors, causing abrupt breaks in the image, compromising the design's fluidity. The style of the lines is not consistent throughout the piece, suggesting a lack of uniformity in the technique used. Some elements give the impression of being a mere vectorization done over a photograph, detracting from the design's authenticity. In certain areas, it appears that raster has been used on top of a photo, which could be confirmed if one had access to the original image for comparison. The strokes, in general, seem to have been executed without the necessary precision, affecting the overall design quality. A clear example of this is the hat of the knight on the right, which, due to an improper stroke, appears to be floating in the air, rather than sitting firmly on his head. --Wilfredor (talk) 02:06, 24 October 2023 (UTC)I preffer withdraw from participating in this section --Wilfredor (talk) 11:12, 24 October 2023 (UTC)- Comment 1) This design is all vector images (.svg format). No raster images! 2) Yes, the hands are a different color from the face, since the hands are workers, this is an ordinary soldier, from the peasants. — Niklitov (talk) 19:08, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- Info Vector outline drawing. Vigor1972 (talk) 19:29, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- Support absolutely no idea of the accuracy so let's trust people who gave it the VI badge. A bit naive and simple execution (mostly on the horses) but proportions look good and that provides a good template for evolution in my view. Support because we don't see lot of these and it's more complicated than pressing a camera shutter in my view. - Benh (talk) 16:43, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Not a valid set as two random uniforms chosen from different regiments. Inconsistent scale as presented. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:40, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
- Info O, sorry! This is the story of one Kharkov regiment! Here are the two most important numbers of this one regiment: 4 (until 1882) and 11 (since 1882). At different times he wore different numbers. Attention, the scale is the same! — Niklitov (talk) 18:19, 25 October 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 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/November 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/November 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/November 2023), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
