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-third 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-third 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.

Miracle of Empel
Voting period ends on 20 Apr 2016 at 19:14:18 (UTC)
- Reason
- high ev as lead image also good quality. Pretty obscure battle so having such a high quality painting is pretty remarkable

- Comment - Unless the image was uploaded by the living artist (preferably with an OTRS tag), this is almost certainly not in the public domain. The author link page does not exist. In addition, at full size, the image does not appear as sharp as it probably could be (in my opinion).--Godot13 (talk) 05:29, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
Sgt. Major Christian Fleetwood
Voting period ends on 20 Apr 2016 at 08:30:27 (UTC)

- Support – per Sca. Bammesk (talk) 16:34, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Yanar Dag
Voting period ends on 18 Apr 2016 at 21:17:57 (UTC)
- Reason
- Frontal night shot of an interesting thing, person gives a sense of scale, lead image in the article. If needed, tweaks of things like highlights or contrast are possible.

- Oppose - Sorry, but the background is too dark and the darkness covers half of the photograph. The benches in the front are also a distraction. However, I like this alternative photograph of it more. Étienne Dolet (talk) 06:29, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- Personally I think a night shot is better since it's a fire. Added alt. Brandmeistertalk 07:53, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose – These nighttime shots of a fire over-dramatize the subject. The daytime pix aren't nearly as impressive. (See lower right) Sca (talk) 15:24, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- Support original and alt – Slightly grainy sky, but good EV. Not a fan of the layered composition, but the EV makes up for it. I prefer the daytime photo but it isn't very sharp. Bammesk (talk) 16:02, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- Support alt, oppose original per ED... Is this what they call the gate of hell?? -The Herald (Benison) • the joy of the LORDmy strength 17:08, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Paris Métro Ligne 6 crossing the Pont de Bir-Hakeim 20140410
Voting period ends on 18 Apr 2016 at 11:32:35 (UTC)
- Reason
- In my opinion a nice picture in good evening light, showing the bridge as well as the train, with a backdrop that immediately makes its location obvious.

- Oppose Very awkward composition, neither the bridge or the train is shown to advantage. --Janke | Talk 12:11, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose – Per Janke. Has rather an impromptu look. Sca (talk) 15:11, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose This is one of my favourite parts of Paris, but unfortunately this photo isn't a good representation of it. A broader composition is possible (as demonstrated by the images in the relevant Commons category), and would be much superior. Nick-D (talk) 01:07, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose per the others. This image is fantastic, but may not show enough of the bridge to maximize EV. Do you have any others from the same shoot that show more of the bridge?--Godot13 (talk) 05:14, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Paul von Hindenburg
Voting period ends on 16 Apr 2016 at 23:58:34 (UTC)
- Reason
- WWI's anniversary continues, as does WWII's. Hindenburg was arguably one of the most important men in Germany throughout WWI, the interwar period, and, finally, the eventually futile attempts to stop Hitler's rise to power, with him slowly forced to give Hitler more and more power after agreeing to stand for election as president in order to stop him.
- Articles in which this image appears
- Paul von Hindenburg (lead image, has been for a while); I've also been putting it in a couple other articles.

Volcanic tephra, Antarctica
Voting period ends on 13 Apr 2016 at 22:02:00 (UTC)

- Interesting. I'd consider it more useful if we knew the composition. There are quite a few kinds of rock which are linked to volcanism (andesite, for instance, which this does not appear to be). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:44, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Per Skilling, I. P. (1994). Evolution of an englacial volcano: Brown Bluff, Antarctica. (not publicly available on line, and I was only able to read the first two pages), it appears to be "alkali basaltic" in composition (at least the Brown Bluff tephra in general appears to be), I think this is referring to the darker solid chunks contained in the lighter matrix material.--Godot13 (talk) 01:37, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- Support - Fair enough. I would try asking at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Science to see if they can confirm this; if so, we could use the image in the alkali basalt article. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:02, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- Request for additional info made.--Godot13 (talk) 17:31, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- Per information request:"Hard be to certain, but the deposits at Brown Bluff and other locations within the James Ross Island Volcanic Group are mainly formed in lava deltas topped by subaerial lava flows Skilling (2002) erupted into an englacial lake. If this block is part of that, then we're looking at a lump of hyaloclastite breccia, with both clasts and matrix made up of shattered basaltic glass".--Godot13 (talk) 17:59, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Booker T. Washington

Mount Ararat and the Yerevan skyline.
Voting period ends on 12 Apr 2016 at 02:23:57 (UTC)
- Reason
- So this has received an overwhelming amount of support to become a FP on Commons. Deservedly so. It's a wonderful combination of the majestic biblical mountain, along with the city of Yerevan that rests under its shadow. Overall, EV is great and the quality is good.

Nominations — to be closed
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
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
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.
-
- {{FPCresult|Not promoted| }} --~~~~
- 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/Image name}} to the top of the section.
- Add the nomination entry to the bottom of the April archive. This is done by simply adding the line {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Image name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive.
- 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.
- If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.
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.
-
- {{FPCresult|Promoted|File:FILENAME.JPG}} --~~~~
- 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}}.
- 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 April 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
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.
-
- {{FPCresult|Kept|}} --~~~~
- 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 Retained section of the archive.
- 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.
-
- {{FPCresult|Delisted|}} --~~~~
- 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.
- 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}} page to the bottom of the Delisted section of the archive.
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.
-
- {{FPCresult|Replaced|}} with File:NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME.JPG --~~~~
- 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.
- 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 Replaced section of the archive.

- Reason
- Ran into this at Commons. It's a FP there. Thought it may merit the same assessment here. Quality is good. There's the dark clouds, but much can't be done about that. On that note, there's a couple other similar photographs from the same photographer here: Saint Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral, Yerevan#Gallery. If any of you spot a picture that's better than this one, feel free to let me know, or you could just nominate it yourself.
