Criteria for a Featured Picture

A featured picture should have the following attributes:

  • Be able to tell the "feeling" of the emotions.

The following do not qualify as Featured Picture candidates:

  • Unfinshed tags, {{no tag}}
  • Past, Current, or Future Featured pictures that have been marked.
  • If the image is currenly in the current featured article, the image is disquilified until the article is not active anymore.

The featured picture should be decided before the 7th day of the next month, which on the 7th day the featured picture should be changed. All nominations should be posted and narrowed down to 5 images, within the first 6 days of the next month.

Identifying a Potential Featured Picture

Featured Pictures should be identified as such, so that a master list can be created. If you think an article should be a featured article on the front page, submit it first as {{featured article candidate}}.

Essentially, this would be done in the following way:

  1. A contributor tags an article page with {{featured article candidate}}, then adds a note to the corresponding article's talk page explaining their reasoning. A list could also be maintained here, either manually updated or as a link to a "feature candidate" category. Only 5 articles for the next month shall be in the process of becoming a feature article.
  2. Involved members of the community will then discuss the candidate article. Typically, they should be as constructively critical as possible.
  3. If the consensus is that the article is potentially of "feature" quality, then the discussion will evolve into modifying the article in such a way as to polish the article so as to achieve full "Featured Article" status.
  4. Once this is done, the article will be tagged {{featured article}} and placed on the Main page.
  5. Previous featured article candidates will be marked with {{featured article candidate previous|Month Year}} to indicate that they were previously nominated.
