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.

Nikola Tesla
Voting period ends on 11 Nov 2015 at 09:37:55 (UTC)
- Reason
- Here's one of those famous portrait images that ends up being reproduced over the years; the person in question is one Nikola Tesla, whom I have the utmost respect and admiration for. This particular photograph has been used in various mediums for quotes from the scientist or for images of Tesla and his inventions. While this is not at the minimum size for FPC I'd ask for a degree of leniency here as Tesla is dead and we can't reproduce the photo without him. I've searched and found larger images on google, but none just of him like this. Having said that, if someone finds a larger image like this one as an alt then I'd be all for support that one.

- Oppose. Seems to be a scan from a book rather than an original, but, in any case, the sourcing strikes me as inadequate for FP purposes. Josh Milburn (talk) 11:41, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- @J Milburn: for the sake of clarification, may I assume that by sourcing you mean the person who actually took the photo and the date, or were you referring to something else? Sourcing I may be able to figure out, but if its technical in nature then it would be beyond my capability to address. TomStar81 (Talk) 11:44, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yes- original photographer/publication would be valuable, but, in addition, as this is a scan from a book (correct me if I'm wrong) it'd be good to identify the book. I think my oppose would stand, though. I've certainly got no objection to featuring a version of this photo in principle, but this version is not FP-worthy. (There also seems to be a moderate amount of undocumented modification.) Josh Milburn (talk) 11:48, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose Small, scanning and/or compression artifacts, way too contrasty. --Janke | Talk 15:51, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment It seems frequently FPCs below minimum size are asked to be accepted because they cannot be reproduced due to the subject of the photo being dead or no longer existing. In fact it is the digitisation of the original photo that is being put forward, not the photo itself. As long as the original still exists I see no reason low resolution should be accepted any more than it would be in a scan of a painting for example. Wolftick (talk) 16:15, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. Too little contrast at hair. --Tremonist (talk) 15:30, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
The Sisters On Exibit
Voting period ends on 11 Nov 2015 at 09:27:34 (UTC)
- Reason
- Prostitutes on display in Yoshiwara during the Edo Period, Japan. This particlar kind of photo was sometimes captioned "The Sisters on Exhibit". The image itself is a silver print, and given what I know about Japan at this particular period in time I would venture a guess that this was probably an establishment in a designated red light district, although I could be mistaken about that. This is a little under the current the current size requirements, but I'd ask for a degree of leniency here as this image comes from a red light district in the Edo Period, well before our time.

- Support JPG - I think it has been a bit too aggressively denoised, but it looks good. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:50, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - @Crisco 1492: this image is also a Commons FP candidate where I was asked to "denoise" the bokeh effect and convert the .tif file to .jpg. I will admit, denoising was an improvement, but I tend to agree with you in that I probably could have left a little more noise, although bokeh is supposed to create a soft out-of-focus background. As far as article use, it is a definite improvement in that the subject is far more striking than it was pre-denoising. Also, consensus seems to prefer the lossier .jpg format over the lossless .tif but either way, I'm happy to oblige. What I hope reviewers will consider is the fact that the ocean doesn't take too kindly to still photography, particularly at 40+ ft. depths in a 1 to 2 knot current (anything higher and you're asking for miracles). Bracketing doesn't work because, for the most part, nothing is completely stationary underwater, so forget optimal HDR in the field. White balance is also a challenge and depth of field is nothing short of a miracle when shooting macro. You're underwater wearing fins for feet with a bulky air tank strapped to your back, and you're looking through the confines of an underwater mask. Underwater, everything appears to be 25%-33% closer than it actually is, and at 35 ft., you've lost most of the color spectrum so you can forget red and green alert indicators. At that point, it no longer matters how many hours are left in a day or the position of the sun when it sets; what matters most is how much air you have left in your scuba tank and to what degree you trust your "grip" who is supposed to be watching your gauges while you work, provided you even have a grip. Did I mention the trials and tribulations of backscatter, critters that are frightened of your exhaust bubbles, curious (possibly hungry) sharks, fire coral, evasive scorpion fish, and irate damselfish? Oh, and don't dare touch the coral, which means if you can't maintain neutral buoyancy and morph into a hovering tripod capable of steadying that bulky underwater housing and attached strobes, leave the macro gear at home. 😊 Atsme📞📧 01:03, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Just a note on the format: JPGs are better supported by Wikimedia software than PNGs, and thus why this form tends to prefer them (compare thumbnails of JPGs and PNGs).

My only reservation (not enough of one to effect support) is the halo that appears at full size when the image is scrolled across the screen.

Peter Paul Rubens - Abundance
Voting period ends on 9 Nov 2015 at 14:57:12 (UTC)
- Reason
- Good scan, from the Google Art Project. A study in oil, or by Rubens, a preparation sketch for a tapestry - that was not intended as a finished work, but a preliminary exploration of a theme, and not as a finished piece ; created for an allegory or a symbol of "Abundance", by Peter Paul Rubens. The bruswork is very interesting and typical for the artist. Also it is a sketch, we don't have many of those.

The two images you're comparing are used in very different ways. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:48, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Otherwise Napoleon was rather fond of cultivating his own image sometimes; and was happy to use art as a political propaganda.

- Questions I have some concerns with the biology. First, the capsule is not found in every prokaryote, so what you are drawing is more bacteria than general prokaryote. You also write "nucleoid (DNA)" which makes it seem like the nucleoid is DNA, or made up of DNA. It's actually just some cytoplasm that contains the DNA. Mattximus (talk) 02:48, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Prokaryotic cells are divided into the domains Bacteria and Archaea. The reason that I diagramed the prokayotic bactrial cell is they are the most familiar ones.[1] In my opinion, this image can indicate the general prokaryotic cell but I changed the description of that. Since this image supposed to show a general prokaryotic bacterial cell, the nucleoid has been truely shown. Thank you for the notice. Ali Zifan 02:21, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Hurricane Patricia of 2015 at its record peak intensity
Voting period ends on 5 Nov 2015 at 02:21:28 (UTC)
- Reason
- High-resolution image of a historic storm at its peak intensity. The stars aligned perfectly for NASA's Terra satellite to capture Hurricane Patricia in all its glory simultaneous with a Hurricane Hunter mission that observed the record values (further details here: Hurricane Patricia#Meteorological history). Beautiful structure, as expected, and frankly one of the finest images of a hurricane I've ever seen. The unique timing from a Sun-synchronous orbiting satellite and the ground-truth data from recon sets this image apart from others in terms of historic value; the image was taken at 17:30 UTC and the dropsonde that confirmed the record low pressure was launched at 17:33 UTC.

Human skull side simplified
Voting period ends on 4 Nov 2015 at 05:02:13 (UTC)
- Reason
- High Quality SVG file, satisfies Featured Picture resolution criteria as it can be scaled to "infinite" with zero reduction in quality. Though its sister image is a Featured Picture at Commons, I consulted with WP:MED member Soupvector who suggested in his medical expert opinion that this one would be better, instead.

- Support (I commented on this previously on my Talk page) I have some professional familiarity with the topic, and have compared this diagram to some reference sources and have not noticed any errors. I note the concern raised by Chris Woodrich, but I think this diagram avoids the errors of distorted proportion that plagued the skeleton diagram. — soupvector (talk) 07:39, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, Soupvector, your professional medical opinion is most appreciated. — Cirt (talk) 07:40, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- Neutral. I don't see any technical problems with this image, although thickness of the suture lines feels a bit off. (It's hard to visualise the orbit, given that the grey shading is much subtler than the edges of the lacrimal bone.) Also, all the labels are in adjective forms (omitting the word bone), except for Maxilla and Mandible, which are nouns. Maxillary [bone] would be more consistent, but the mandible isn't referred to as the "mandibular bone", so the disparity can't be completely avoided. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:02, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose While accurate, it is ugly. We have better images, and even some from the same angle, such as the set:
- CFCF 💌 📧 23:05, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- I disagree. The Sobotta figures you link are quite cluttered and include archaic spellings (e.g. "lachrymal"). Moreover, the spellings cannot be corrected readily since they are not SVG (whereas the image under discussion is). Overall, I'd say that they serve different audiences, but the image above is clearer, more current, and probably more useful to WP's broader audience. If the Sobotta figures could be updated and re-rendered as SVG to facilitate maintenance, they might become more valuable for some purposes (e.e. if interest in the sutures etc outweighs the problem of clutter). — soupvector (talk) 23:34, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

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 November 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 November 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 removal requests. 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 removal requests. 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 removal requests. 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.

- Oppose - While it is an interesting historical item, the broadside itself does not really add much EV to either article (compared with a written description of the information it contains). At 250px in the nomination it is already larger than the standard thumbnail, and one can only make out the first two lines. None of the intermediate sizes achieved by clicking on the image makes it any better, until you reach full size. Then you can only see one column vertically at a time (until you have to switch to reading horizontally). If there was an article written about the broadside itself, maybe the EV would be there to mitigate not being able to really see anything in the thumbnail (but there is no way to make it large enough within an article to read the text). As is, interesting, but not (in my opinion) FP.--Godot13 (talk) 18:00, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

- Support. First, this image is of great quality. Regarding EV - while it is only used on one page (I think it may be underused), this photo does an excellent job of capturing so many detailed aspects of this aircraft that can be difficult to capture - the lights, landing gear preparing to retract, window shades, external markings, etc. While there are a lot of photos on the Commons of aircraft taking off (great thanks to those dedicated to taking such photos), this is perhaps the best photo of a commercial aircraft in takeoff we have.

United States gold coins (VIII) – $50 Half-union (1877)
Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 31 Oct 2015 at 16:17:28 (UTC)
- Reason
- High quality, high EV, obscenely rare.
The Half-union is a $50 gold pattern coin minted in 1877. Two slightly different designs were produced with only one coin of each design struck. The denomination (which would have been the highest for a circulating U.S. coin) was rejected. The coin was designed by William Barber (obverse) and James B. Longacre (reverse). - Original
- A pair of Half-union gold $50 pattern coins (1877). The design of the head (i.e., size, lower part of the hair) is different. Each gold coin is unique (not the only one known, the only one struck).

Danzig Papiermark, last mark issue (1923)
Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 30 Oct 2015 at 16:43:24 (UTC)
- Reason
- High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set).
The last series of Danzig (German) papiermark, issued from August to October of 1923 during hyperinflation. The last note in the series was issued with the date 11 October 1923. The first gulden was issued on 22 October 1923. This series immediately precedes the first issue of Danzig gulden. - Original
- A complete set (6) of the last issue of German papiermark from the Free City of Danzig. Dated 8 August 1923 through 11 October 1923, the series was issued during the height of Danzig hyperinflation and denominations range from 1 million to 10 billion mark. (For comparison, the initial 1914 issue nine years earlier contained a 50 pfennig, and 1, 2, and 3 mark notes). Single-sided images means there was no printing on the back.
