'''[[Wikipedia:Featured pictures|Featured pictures]]''' is a list of images and diagrams that are beautiful, striking, shocking, impressive, titillating, fascinating, or in short just '''brilliant''' (see also [[Wikipedia:Featured articles]]). Taking the common saying 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. Pictures that are striking but do not illustrate an article can be submitted to [[commons:Commons:Featured picture candidates|Featured picture candidates on the Wikimedia commons]].

{{#ifexpr:{{CURRENTDAY}}=1 and {{CURRENTMONTH}}=4|<div style="width: max-content;margin: auto;animation: rotate 18000.0s infinite;">|}}

If you believe that you have found or created an image that matches these expectations then please add it below into the '''Current nominations''' section. Conversely, if you believe that an image that currently exists in the [[Wikipedia:Featured pictures]] gallery should not be there, the '''Nomination for removal''' section of this page can be used to nominate it for delisting.

For delisting, this page is similar to [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion]].

Images listed here should be either in the public ___domain or covered by the [[GNU Free Documentation License]] or a similar license. Since an image gallery is of limited educational value (a requirement for fair use) '''[[fair use]] images are not appropriate candidates''' for inclusion in the featured pictures gallery.

For listing, if an image is listed here '''for fourteen days''' with '''four''' or more supporting votes (including the nominator if it was not a self-nomination), and the general consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the [[Wikipedia:Featured pictures]] list. If necessary, decisions about close votes will be made on a case-by-case basis.

The '''[[Wikipedia:Featured pictures candidates/{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}-{{CURRENTYEAR}}|archive]]''' contains all votes and comments collected on this page and also vote tabulations.

Also, be sure to sign your nomination by using "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" in the editor - this will add your log-on name with the date and time.

When the time comes to move an image to [[Wikipedia:Featured pictures]] make sure you also add it to [[Wikipedia:Featured pictures visible]] and [[Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs]].

==Procedure==

===How to add your nomination===

Nominations are now created as subpages.

# Create a new subpage named &nbsp; <tt> Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Name-Of-Image </tt>

# Edit the subpage to give your reasons for nomination using the following format <br /> <tt> <nowiki>===[[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Name-Of-Image|Name-Of-Image]]===</nowiki><br /> <nowiki>[[Image:FILENAME.jpg|thumb|CAPTION]]</nowiki><br /> <nowiki>Add your reasons for nominating it here,</nowiki><br /> <nowiki>say what article it is used on and who created the image. - ~~~~</nowiki><br /> <nowiki>* Nominate and '''support'''. First vote here - ~~~~ </nowiki><br /> <nowiki>* </nowiki><br /> <nowiki><!-- additional votes go above this line --></nowiki><br /> <nowiki><br style="clear:both;" /></nowiki><br /> </tt>

# Add &nbsp;<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Name-Of-Image<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>&nbsp; to the top of the list in the [[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates#Current nominations|Current nominations]] section of this page.

# Add &nbsp;<tt><nowiki>{{FPC}}</nowiki></tt>&nbsp; to the nominated image's page. This inserts the [[Template:FPC|featured pictures candidate template]], to let the original contributor and other interested parties know that the image is up for voting.

If you have problems formatting your nomination, someone else will fix it, don't worry! If you wish to simply add your nomination to this page without creating the subpage, that is OK as someone else will create the subpage. The important piece of information is the pointer to the image, and the reason for the nomination.

===Supporting and opposing===

* If you approve of a picture, write '''Support''' followed by your reasons.

* If you oppose a nomination, write '''Oppose''' followed by the reasons for your objection. '''Where possible, objections should provide a specific rationale that can be addressed.'''

** To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with <tt><nowiki><s>...</s></nowiki></tt>) rather than removing it.

===Community standards===

Please adhere to applicable community [[Wikipedia:Talk page#Standards and conventions of writing and layout|standards and conventions of writing and layout]] as relevant for contributions to a dialogue.

==Older nominations requiring additional input from users==

<u>'''When NOT promoted, perform the following</u>:'''

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.

* Place the following text at the bottom of the ''WP:FPC/subpage'': '''<nowiki>{{FPCresult|Not promoted| }}</nowiki>'''

<!-- ↓ Under this line, please ↓ -->

* Move the nomination entry to the '''bottom''' of the [[Wikipedia:Featured pictures candidates/{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}-{{CURRENTYEAR}}|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} archive]]. This is done by simply moving the line <nowiki>{{</nowiki>Wikipedia:Feature picture candidates/''Image name''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> from this page to the '''bottom''' of the archive.

<!-- ↑ Above this line, please ↑ -->

**'''Do NOT''' put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
