Sample Page

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. Promoting an image 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 registered on the English 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. Delisting an image 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 for one point: 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. Note that delisting an image does not mean deleting it. Delisting from Featured pictures in no way affects the image’s status in its article(s).

How to comment for Candidate Images Write Support, if you approve of the picture. A reason is optional. Write Oppose, followed by your reasoning, if you disapprove of the picture. All objections should be accompanied by a specific rationale that, if addressed, would make you support the image. If your concern is one that can only be addressed by the creator, and if they haven’t nominated or commented on the image, and if they are a Wikipedian, you should notify them directly. You can weak support or weak oppose instead, so that your opinion will be weighed as half of a “full” opinion. To change your opinion, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it. If you think a nominated image obviously fails the featured picture criteria, write Speedy close followed by your reasons. Nominations may be closed early if this is the case. Recommendations added early in the process may be disregarded if they do not address concerns and/or improvements that arise later in the debate. Reviewers are advised to monitor the progress of a nomination and update their votes accordingly. Prior to giving an opinion, the image should be assessed on its quality as displayed at full size (high-resolution) in an image editing program. Please note that the images are only displayed at thumbnail size on this page. The thumbnail links to the image description page which, in turn, links to the high-resolution version. How to comment for Delist Images Write Keep, followed by your reasons for keeping the picture. Write Delist, followed by your reasons for delisting the picture. Write Delist and Replace if you believe the image should be replaced by a better picture. You can weak keep, weak delist or weak delist and replace instead, so that your opinion will be weighed as half of a “full” opinion. To change your opinion, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it. Please remember to be civil, not to bite the newbies and to comment on the image, not the person. You may find the glossary useful when you encounter acronyms or jargon in other voters’ comments. You can also link to it by using {{FPCgloss}}. 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 (e.g., Edit 1, Edit 2, etc), and describe the modifications that have been applied. 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.

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

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.

A script is available that automates the majority of these tasks: User:Armbrust/closeFPC.js

When NOT promoted, perform the following:

1. 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.

2. 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:

1. 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.

2. 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.
3. 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.

4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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}}.
8. 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:

1. 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.
2. Add the nomination entry to the bottom of the June archive. This is done by simply adding the line {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Page name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive.
3. If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.

3. 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:

1. 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.

2. Replace the {{Featured picture}} tag from the image with {{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/''Image name''}}.
3. 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:

1. 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.

2. Replace the {{Featured picture}} tag from the delisted image with {{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/''Image name''}}.
3. 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}}.
4. 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.
5. 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.

Any idea, with that in mind, how to move forward here? Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 15:40, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Goszei reverted based on the crop and contrast, and they appear to be the editor most involved in maintaining the article right now. I can’t say I agree with their rationale, simply because our current aesthetic for contrast was not feasibly possible with the cameras of the 1870s, and thus the crop and contrast are not faithful to the original. Also, Commons guidelines would preclude modifying the current FP for the sake of including in the English Wikipedia. I can see two potential ways around this: one, swapping out the other images but leaving Marx with the internetified crop (which would mean not being able to run the Marx article at POTD), or two, using {{CSS image crop}}, which would allow cropping within the article but would leave the contrast. Personally, I prefer the first possibility. Marx and his image are in enough meaty articles that a POTD blurb could be drafted on the other topics. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:16, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t see any discussion here about the change in the image’s contrast between the Original and Alt 1. I disagree that “not feasibly possible with the cameras of the 1870s” is disqualifying, as there are plenty of Featured Pictures that have similar modifications. I completely agree with the consensus here on making the uncropped version the FP, I just think it should be the contrast-adjusted uncropped version to the right. I support Alt 2. Pinging editors for comment on this point about contrast: @Howardcorn33, Crisco 1492, Moonreach, JJARichardson, Hamid Hassani, UnpetitproleX, Northern-Virginia-Photographer, VulcanSphere, and Wcamp9. — Goszei (talk) 20:01, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Info Asking here can we do this, to support, since painting of Muhhamed face is “prohibited” in Islam. @UnpetitproleX, @UnpetitproleX. Painting seems to me like “Hindi made”. —Petar Milošević (talk) 13:16, 6 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  @PetarM: visual depictions of Muhammad (and his face) are not prohibited in Islam, different branches of Islam treat them in different ways. In Shia tradition, for example, visual depictions of Muhammad are fairly common and celebrated. (This is an interesting reading on the subject of Museums and paintings of Muhammad, which has guided my understanding that censoring Islamic art on Muhammad promotes the false idea that Islam prohibits such images).

  That said, on wikipedia we are also guided by WP:NOTCENSORED. Even if paintings of Muhammad were not permissible in Islam (which is not the case), that still would not disqualify such a painting from FP status.

  As for the painting’s style, it indeed appears of Indian origin to me, likely a late Mughal depiction. UnpetitproleX (talk) 05:35, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose Very limited EV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:30, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  @Charlesjsharp: The painting illustrates the Isra and Miraj journey of Muhammad, where he is believed to have travelled from Mecca to Jerusalem and thereafter to the heavens and back to Mecca on the mythical creature Buraq. It is a historical portrait from the 1700s. Apart from depicting Islamic mythology, it also illustrates the painting style of its era and locality. I don’t think that equals very little EV. UnpetitproleX (talk) 02:29, 9 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Deccan miniatures were very derivative art, hence the low EV in my opinion. Not in Buraq article. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:42, 9 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Extremely high EV, obviously, but I’m doubtful of the claim that this is out of copyright in the US given that the source cited on Commons is a random Ebay listing for LPs of the album. As the image was a commercial shot for the album and was used as its cover, a much better source seems necessary. Nick-D (talk) 22:35, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  No deletion discussions so far (somehow), but image appeared to pass the Commons FA nom without anybody raising doubts about the PD status. If you personally have serious doubts it may be worth considering nominating for deletion. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 18:01, 23 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Even within that listing, I don’t see anything that says this image is out of copyright. Moonreach (talk) 19:53, 24 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  @Moonreach: the rationale is that since the US publication of the cover was simultaneous with the UK publication, and the US cover did not bear a valid separate copyright notice for the cover, it is in the public domain in the US. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 23:44, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I don’t have any direct evidence to the contrary, so I won’t vote against it, but on a gut level I feel like this fails WP:SNOWBALL. I can’t seriously believe that one of the most famous images connected to the most famous rock band was accidentally published without copyright. The problem is that I don’t know what the image’s official name was at the time it was taken, or who the copyright would have gone to (the photographer, the album designer, the record label, the producer?) which precludes me from looking it up in the copyright records. As a picture from 1969, it wouldn’t have been subject to the 27-year renewal, which means any records (if they exist) would be in hard-to-search book records. Moonreach (talk) 22:52, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, that’s also my concern here. The image may well be out of copyright in the US due to a stuff up by the record company or whoever originally owned the photo, but this needs to be properly established. Relying on a single Ebay listing as the source for being out of copyright doesn’t seem OK for FP status. For instance, how can we be sure that the image hasn’t been edited to remove the copyright notice?, how do we know for sure that it’s actually a US edition of the album?, etc. Nick-D (talk) 23:48, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Like I said, if you either of you have concerns regarding copyright, you should nominate the image for deletion as there doesn’t appear to have been a previous deletion nomination. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 14:18, 2 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I have concerns but I can’t think of a way to verify them, short of Wikipedia getting a cease-and-desist order. I don’t like that the permission is still an eBay listing; even if that were a trustworthy resource, which it’s not, I couldn’t find anything on there that said “the cover of Abbey Road is public domain.” Additionally, the copyright tags that have been added since this nomination was made conflict with each other. One says copyright was in South Africa first, another says that it was in the UK and South Africa simultaneously. All of this feels dubious to me, I just don’t think I can meet the burden of proof for a deletion nomination. Moonreach (talk) 21:31, 2 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  For what its worth, on Commons the burden of proof for keeping a file typically lies with those supporting to keep the file in the first place. Per c:COM:PCP, even a “significant doubt” about the freedom of the file warrants its deletion. Personally I’m on the fence about the freedom of the album cover, and I don’t feel confident in giving my opinion one way or the other about it. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 21:59, 2 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I’ve nominated this for deletion at Commons. I hope that this leads to a strong source establishing that the image is out of copyright becoming available, but if not there are some risks around Commons hosting this image that need to be considered by the community there.
