'''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 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, according to the [[Wikipedia:What is a featured picture?|featured picture criteria]].

If you believe an image should be featured, please add it below to the current nominations section. Conversely, if you believe that an image should be unfeatured, add it to the nomination for delisting section.

For promotion, if an image is listed here for seven days with four or more supporting votes (including the nominator), and the [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] is in its favor, it can be added to the [[Wikipedia:Featured pictures]] list. Consensus in ''Featured picture candidates'' is generally regarded to be a two-third majority in support. Note however that anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are votes of [[Wikipedia:Sock puppetry|sockpuppets]]. 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.

==Nomination procedure==

If you wish to add an image to this page please see [[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Nomination Procedure]]

==Supporting and opposing==

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

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

** To change your vote, strike it out (with <tt><nowiki><s>...</s></nowiki></tt>) rather than removing it.

Votes added early in the process may be disregarded if they do not give any reasons for the opposition. This is especially true if the image is altered during the process. Editors are advised to monitor the progress of a nomination and update their votes accordingly.

'''Please remember to be [[WP:CIVIL|civil]], [[WP:BITE|not to bite the newbies]] and to comment on the image, not the [[WP:NPA|person]].'''

==Evaluating dark images==

[[Image:Shadowtest.jpg|right]]

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.

==Editing candidates==

If you feel you could improve a candidate by image editing, please feel free to do so, but do '''not''' overwrite or remove the original. Instead, upload your edit with a different file name (e.g. add "edit" to the file name), and display it below the original nomination. Edits should be appropriately captioned in sequential order (eg, Edit 1, Edit 2, etc) and describe the modifications that have been applied.

==Nominations older— thanto 7be days - decision time!closed==

Nominations in this category are older than ten days and are to be closed. New votes will no longer be accepted.

<!-- Do not remove or change the line below!!! It is necessary for the bot to operate correctly on this page. -->

<!--Move old↓ nominations underUnder this line, please ↓ -->

<!-- ↑ Above this line, please ↑ -->

{{-}}

==Older nominations requiring additional input from votersusers==

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.
