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-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 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-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 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.

Editing candidates
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. |

Current nominations
Boeing E-3 Sentry
Voting period ends on 16 Jul 2022 at 02:48:07 (UTC)
- Reason
- Quality image of Boeing E-3 Sentry, commonly known as AWACS, it's identified by its radar dome. The aircraft is used by U.S. and NATO forces for surveillance, command, control and communication. This photo has a few dust spots in the background (small dark patches) which I will remove if the nom gets a few supports. This was shot in 2021.

Chapultepec Castle
Voting period ends on 13 Jul 2022 at 15:13:22 (UTC)
- Reason
- Forgive the two nominations in a row, but I do have a ten-image backlog even including these, so I am trying to be good here. I think this is a fine image, quite good for showing off the structure as it historically was. I think the dome on the tower is the most obvious change from present day. I've gone with original crop; Given the Detroit Publishing Company's works tend to follow very strict ratios, I believe this is how it would have been published. More accurate than the illustrations that are our only other historic guide. Admittedly, could be lower down in the article, but the article's full of modern photos, so it's hard to say.

- Isn't this a lithograph? It rather looks like one. Also, the colours look a bit off for any medium. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.9% of all FPs 17:02, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- File info says it is a "watercolor", and I don't see any signs of it being a litho. Some small hairs suggest that this is a scan of a transparency (probably medium or large format), thus the slight graininess - a lot less than would be expected from the stone of a litho print. --Janke | Talk 06:46, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Aye. Just presumed it was a hand-coloured etching or a slightly-too-low-res scan of a lithograph. I guess that justifies it, but I can't help but thinking the colours look off, and it's slightly cut off on the lower right hand side.

Fausta Labia
Voting period ends on 13 Jul 2022 at 14:45:19 (UTC)
- Reason
- Another of the excellent images released by the Swedish Performing Arts Agency. Not too bad of a restoration. (original, for comparison). I'd say this is one of the two best images of her, the other being File:Fausta Labia, rollporträtt - SMV - H5 033.tif, but this shows her face better.

Juanita Hall
Voting period ends on 9 Jul 2022 at 01:38:22 (UTC)
- Reason
- The first nomination didn't go so well, but I think part of that was the colour balance, which was rather hurting this one. Firstly, there was a bug in the version of GIMP I was using at the time that made images substantially redder, and second, the LoC scan is a little odd colour-wise itself. I've dropped the saturation a little bit, resaved without the bug, and I think the strengths - A photo of an actress in the original production of a major, major Broadway show - now shine through

- Comment – I agree with Janke, me too. Bammesk (talk) 01:30, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose – It's an important image, and a valuable one to have on Wikipedia, but I'm not sure the quality is where it needs to be for a FP (and this is no the fault of the wonderful restoration work that Adam is doing). The image is fairly soft overall, lots of detail is lost in the shadows, and, as mentioned above, the composition and cropping are off.

Voting period ends on 8 Jul 2022 at 14:33:49 (UTC)
- Reason
- I'm willing to stand up against censorship, but I'd like the image to be of FP quality first. This is just not a good reproduction. The restoration's decent as far as it goes, but the scan wasn't great and the colours are terrible. This version might be acceptable, if we can get it downloaded.

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.

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.
- 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}}.
Then perform the following, regardless of the outcome:
- 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 July 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
Then perform the following, regardless of the outcome:
- 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 appropriate section of the archive. - If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.

Ages Ago!
Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 4 Jul 2022 at 22:20:41 (UTC)
- Reason
- I think the fact that it's an original poster to a notable opera, still performed today (and I can absolutely guarantee this because I was in it) is enough. It's artistically quite nice, it gets the point of the piece quite well, and shows all the main characters of the second scene (due to cast doubling, there's no way to include all the characters, and I don't think I've ever actually seen promotional work for this opera dealing with the then-present-day scenes).

- I checked the Film Superlist book, Volume 2 (1940-1949). Contrary to what I assumed, the book doesn't list motion pictures which have fallen into public domain. The book is a better organized compilation of the data in the Online database on motion pictures released from 1940 to 1949, including any renewals 28 years after the original release, plus supplementary info (search reports) on some releases.
- I searched the book and the Dover Boys cartoon is not listed in it. I also searched the Online database for motion picture registrations in 1941, 1942, 1943, as well as motion picture renewals in 1969, 1970, 1971 and the Dover Boys cartoon is missing. So there is no record that this cartoon was ever registered for copyright, nor a record that it was ever renewed. (On a sidenote: the Film Superlist book does have copyright registration info for 93 Looney Tunes cartoons and 140 Merrie Melodies cartoons.)
- I think the Commons copyright tag is valid (i.e. no renewal). Plus, the cartoon may not have been registered with the copyright office (there is no record of its registration).

It was likely from one of the many sightseeing flights RAF bomber crews made over Germany after the war to see the results of their bombing and show the ground crew what they had contributed to (yes, it was ghoulish). As a result, this is a somewhat sanitised version of the results of the bombing, believe it or not, as the roads had been cleared of rubble, demolitions had begun, etc. Nick-D (talk) 11:29, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

- Charlesjsharp, your comment disconcerts me. What does "encyclopedic" and "how much of it is visible" have to do with each other? Following your comment the FP for this species would be a dead specimen without the shell where you cann appreciate the whole body, but that's not how you would find this crab in its habitat. If you find it in the nature it will be like this or even you see the shell and nothing behind it. I believe that the way you most frequently will find an animal in the nature is encyclopedic. --Poco2 15:36, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- A Wikipedia FP of an animal should show it well. In the case of a hermit crab, more crab should be visible than you show here. This is a land crab, but it shows what I mean. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:27, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- To be fair, Charles, showing behaviour is a valid criteria too, and there's probably cases where seeing only a tiny bit of an animal might be encyclopedic for a non-main image. However, that... doesn't apply here as the problem is the angle, which pulls a lot of focus off the crab and onto the shell, but not in a way that shows off camoflauge or something.

- This is an excellent photograph of an elusive and very small bird, particularly in relation to the standards of its era (probably the 70s or early 80s, when one only had 35 frames before having to change film, and focus stacking was not a thing) and a good scan from what was likely either positive or negative film (I suspect positive). This is the best image of this bird I've seen and it is implausible that a better one exists and impossible for one to be created.

- Question What is the white thing on them? Some sort of seed fluff? It's near-perfect except that. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.9% of all FPs 19:28, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- I guess so. They are less than 10mm long. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:00, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Presuming you don't have a shot of similar quality without the fluff, Support Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.9% of all FPs 22:46, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- No, I don't. They are pests and this pair were very very lucky to be removed from the lily and not killed. I wouldn't wnat to edit out natural stuff. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
