Políticas e normas sobre candidatas a imaxes destacadas

[edit]

Regras xerais

[edit]
  1. After the end of the voting period the result will be determined on day 15 after nomination (shown in the time-table below). So the voting period is two weeks (plus the hours until the end of day 14). Votes added on day 15 or after are not counted.
  2. Nominations by anonymous contributors are welcome
  3. Contributions to discussion by anonymous contributors are welcome
  4. Votes by anonymous contributors aren't counted
  5. Nominations do not count as votes. Support must be explicitly stated.
  6. Nominators can withdraw their nominated pictures at any time. This is done by simply writing "I withdraw my nomination".
  7. Remember, the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects. This is not simply a depository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project.
  8. Pictures can be taken from the list if they have no support (not counting the nominator's) on day number 7 (day of nomination + 7).

Regras para as imaxes candidatas

[edit]

A imaxe pode convérterse nunha imaxe destacada se cumpre as seguintes condicións:

  1. Dispor dunha licenza apropiada (por suposto)
  2. Contar como mínimo con 5 votos de apoio
  3. A relación entre apoio/oposición debe ser de 2/1 como mínimo (unha maioría de dous terzos)
  4. Non poden ser imaxes destacadas dúas versiións diferentes da mesma imaxe, só aquela co maior número de votos.

Para as instrucións sobre como proceder coas propostas antigas, vexa Template talk:Featured pictures candidates#What to do after voting is finished.

[edit]

Over time, featured picture standards change. It may be decided that for some pictures which were formerly "good enough", this is no longer the case. This is for listing an image which you believe no longer deserves to be a featured picture. These require 2/3 majority (and a minimum of 5 votes) agreeing to delist from featured pictures. If there is not 2/3 agreeing to delist it, it stays as a featured picture. For these, vote {{Keep}}  Keep (it deserves to be a featured picture) or {{Delist}}  Delist (it doesn't deserve to be a featured picture). Please provide a link to the original FP nomination (it will appear under "Links" on the image description page). Otherwise the same rules as above apply. Please use this link to add a new removal candidate.

Guidelines for nominators

[edit]

Below you can find some informal rules picture should match:

  • Resolution - graphics located on Commons may be used not only for viewing them on a screen. They may be also used for printing or for viewing on very high resolution monitors. We can't predict what devices would be used in the future neither, so it is important that pictures being nominated have a resolution as high as possible. A resolution of at least 2 million pixel (e.g. 2000 x 1000) seems reasonable right now.
  • Focus - every important object on the picture should be sharp.
  • Foreground and background - foreground and background objects may be pretty distracting. You should check if something in front of the subject doesn't hide some important elements and if something in background doesn't spoil the composition (for example if the streetlight doesn't "stand" on someone's head).
  • General quality - pictures being nominated should have good technical quality.
  • Value - our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others. Pictures should be in some way special, so please be aware that:
    • almost all sunsets are pretty, and most of such pictures are not different in the essence from others,
    • nightshots are pretty but normally more details can be shown on pictures taken at daytime,
    • beautiful does not always mean valuable.

Not every rule has to be matched, e.g. a picture may have a low resolution, because higher resolution photos cannot be taken (subject may be dead), or the event is not going to occur again.

Guidelines for Evaluating Photographs

[edit]

There are several criteria for evaluating images.

On the technical side, we have exposure, composition, movement control and depth of field.

Exposure refers to the shutter diaphragm combination that renders an image with a tonal curve that ideally is able to represent in acceptable detail shadows and highlights within the image. This is called latitude. Images can be on the low side of the tonal curve (low range), the middle (middle range) or high side (upper range). Digital cameras (or images) have a narrower latitude than film. Lack of shadow detail is not necessarily a negative characteristic. In fact, it can be part of the desired effect. Burned highlights in large areas are a distracting element.

Composition refers to the arrangement of the elements within the image. The “Rule of Thirds” is a good guideline for composition and is an inheritance from the painting school. The idea is to divide the image with two imaginary horizontal and two vertical lines, thus dividing the image into thirds horizontally and vertically. Centering the subject is almost always considered a negative practice. Subjects of interest are placed in one of the “interest points”, where horizontal and vertical lines intersect (4 interest points are created). Horizons are never places in the middle, for they “cut” the image in half. They are placed either in the upper or lower horizontal line. Main idea here is NOT to center subject.

Movement control refers to the manner in which motion is represented in the image. Motion can be frozen or blurred. Neither one is better over the other. It is the intention of representation. Movement is relative within the objects of the image. For example, photographing a race car that appears frozen in relation to the background does not give us a sense of speed or motion, so technique dictates to represent the car in a frozen manner but with a blurred background, thus creating the sense of motion, this is called "panning". On the other hand, representing a basketball player in a high jump frozen in relation to everything else, due to the “unnatural” nature of the pose would be a good photograph.

Depth of field (DOF) refers to the area in focus in front of and beyond main subject. Depth of field is chosen according to the specific needs of every picture. Large or small DOF can either way add or subtract to the quality of the image. Low depth of field can be used to bring attention to the main subject, separating it from the general environment. High depth of field can be used to emphasize space. Short focal length lenses (wide angles) yield large DOF, and viceversa, long focal lenses (telephotos) have shallow DOF. Small apertures yield large DOF and conversely, large apertures yield shallow DOF.

On the graphic elements we have shape, volume, color, texture, perspective, balance, proportion, etc.

Shape refers to the contour of the main subjects.

Volume refers to the three dimensional quality of the object. This is accomplished using side light. Contrary to general belief, front lighting is not the best light. It tends to flatten subject. Best light of day is early morning or late afternoon.

Color is important. Over saturated colours are not good.

Texture refers to the quality of the surface of the subject. It is enhanced by side lighting… it is the “feel” to the touch….

Perspective refers to the “angle” accompanied by lines that disappear into a vanishing point that may or may not be inside the image.

Balance refers to the arrangement of subjects within the image that can either give equal weight or appear to be heavier on one side.

Proportion refers to the relation of size of objects in picture. Generally, we tend to represent small objects small in relation to others, but a good technique is to represent small objects large contrary to natural size relationship. For example, a small flower is given preponderance over a large mountain…. This is called inversion of scales.

Not all elements must be present. Some photographs can be judged on individual characteristics, that is, an image can be about color or texture, or color AND texture, etc.

Symbolic meaning or relevance…. Well, this is where opinion wars start…. A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph.

Images can be culturally biased by the photograher and/or the observer. The meaning of the image should be judged according to the cultural context of the image, not by the cultural context of the observer. An image “speaks” to people, and it has the capacity to evoke emotion such as tenderness, rage, rejection, hapiness, sadness, etc. Good photographs are not limited to evoking pleasant sensations….

Above all, Be polite

[edit]

Please don't forget that the image you are judging is somebody's work. Avoid using phrases like "it looks terrible" and "I hate it". If you must oppose, please do so with consideration. Also remember that your command of English might not be the same as someone elses. Choose your words with care.

Happy judging… and remember.... all rules can be broken

Addendum: This is a renomination. -- A. Öztas 11:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be complete at this point: One nomination did not reach the necessary total number of votes and the other was a different version of this picture, whose nomination I had withdrawn after less than a day. Without going any further into the discussion here, I should have included the reference above (as I subsequently did) when I nominated it. I didn't have in mind at the time that the photo had already been here before. -- A. Öztas 11:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no strict rule about it but it is generally the case that we don't renominate a picture that has failed unless significant improvements have been made to it since the previous nomination. My support still stands in this case, but it isn't normally something we would do. Cmao20 (talk) 13:57, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, see this case for example, a few days ago -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:30, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You didn't have in mind that the structure had already been nominated twice? It's surprising. Anyway, too dark in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:30, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The brief nomination that I withdrew after less than a day and the subsequent one felt like a single attempt to me and this was over a year ago – and quite a lot has happened since then. So yes, it simply slipped my mind. There's no reason to be surprised by that. It was pointed out, the reference was added, and that should suffice. As for the image, I understand that it might indeed appear a bit too dark. Whilst it can always change, at the moment it's just right for me, whether it's enough for an excellence rating or not. I appreciate your perspective and the time you've taken to review it. -- A. Öztas 16:43, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome to discuss here. "Brief nomination" but still three oppose, one question and one comment during this short time. Thus quite a logical withdrawal, in my opinion. We can of course AGF, but reciprocally, we, reviewers, remember that the two similar nominations failed not so long ago, for assumed fair reasons. As Ikan Kekek rightly said in a similar case "Not voting also counts as a lack of interest". Usually, it is obvious to the nominators that a photo has already been nominated, because they need to add "/2" at the end of the file name to create a new FPC, but here the file page has been renamed twice recently. With still no metadata. Of course, since the voters are not always the same at FPC every month, it can happen that a picture which failed the first time is finally promoted by insisting. But you should also understand, as you wrote after the first nomination "I will nominate the original as FP with the reasonable assumption that it will be rejected anyway", that the picture will struggle to pass, even though several of us reiterate their efforts to evaluate again. -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:14, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Discuss about what? After the first answer from you and me, everything was already said, or am I wrong? Of course, we are welcome to deepen the discussion, precisely because it is a topic that affects many aspects of the FP nomination processes and often offers room for different perspectives. In this context, I would like to address a few points that touch on both the past of previous nominations and the general guidelines for repeat submissions. As I mentioned, the first nomination was over a year ago. This distance in the time frame plays a role in my opinion, as it makes it clear that I did not submit the nomination of the structure out of a constant repetition so that it would, as you wrote, "finally be promoted by insisting". The motivation lies more in the fact that I continued to reflect on the image over time and adapted my own view of it. As a photographer, I often experience such processes; a certain development of my own view of the image. Photography, after all, is a medium through which we capture not just what we see, but what we feel at a given moment. And as those feelings evolve, so too can our interpretations of our own work. This growth is natural and, I believe, valuable to the community's understanding of a work as it evolves through the eyes of its creator. At the same time, I understand that for reviewers like you and others who regularly participate in the discussions, there is a certain habit and reminder value when similar or identical images are up for discussion again. What this has to do with AGF here is beyond me. I'm not as familiar with the practice in this area, I'm only on my fourth photo here. I see your references to a previous nomination as a helpful addition and not a criticism per se. The process of weighing up between a possible repetition and the search for new qualities in an image is essential and is shown in the current case by the different feedback and views. I would also like to note that my decision to quickly withdraw the previous nomination should not be understood as an endorsement of a "logical withdrawal". There were several factors at the time, including personal considerations, that led me to withdraw the nomination. It is true that this first nomination was - albeit briefly - on the table and led to reactions, but the circumstances were more complex than they appear at first glance. In my opinion, such a withdrawal should not be seen as a weakening factor for the quality of the picture itself, but as part of the individual process that each artist has to deal with. Furthermore, I would suggest having a broader discussion about the weighting of nominations that have already failed. Of course, there is no doubt that a clear majority should decide the relevance and quality of an image, but there may be cases where an image changes its relevance and quality over time. This could be due to technical improvements, a change in the community's perspective or simply time showing the work in a new light. Such an approach may well make sense for some FPC nominations, particularly for those images that have failed in the past but could potentially find new appreciation. After all, everything and nothing is set in stone here. With regard to the question about the brightness of the image, I agree that this is a subjective judgement and certainly open to discussion. The incidence of light and the colour scheme reflect the mood that I wanted to capture when taking the photograph and are not just technical parameters for me, but part of the aesthetic that I want to convey. Of course, the comment that the image may be perceived as too dark is justified and a question of personal taste - however, it is precisely this difference between subjective perception and objective quality that often leads to divergent assessments. Light plays a powerful role in shaping the emotional resonance of an image, influencing how viewers perceive and connect with it on a deeper level. By intentionally choosing a darker, more subdued lighting, I aimed to create an atmosphere that goes beyond a straightforward representation of the structure itself. This darkness, though perhaps unconventional, allows subtle textures and contrasts to emerge, lending the image a mysterious quality that invites viewers to look closer and consider the piece in a contemplative way. The interplay between shadows and faint highlights, in my view, captures a sense of introspection and draws attention to the sculptural lines of the structure. While brighter lighting may provide more clarity or detail, this more moody approach aligns with the feeling I experienced when taking the photograph, reflecting a quieter, almost meditative atmosphere. Shadows add depth and a sense of timelessness to the scene, suggesting that the image captures not just a single moment but a feeling that could exist outside of time. This play of light and shadow is a deliberate choice, one intended to evoke curiosity and to invite viewers into the scene, allowing them to experience the piece not merely as an architectural object but as a structure with an almost enigmatic presence. At least that's how I feel about this one. In the end, I understand that every image will resonate differently with each person who views it, and I fully respect the diverse perspectives within this community. The beauty of these discussions lies in their ability to reveal new interpretations and insights, both for the artist and for those who critique the work. I look forward to read more of your perspectives in other discussions as well, as these exchanges are invaluable not only for our individual growth but also for enriching the shared vision of what we seek to highlight here. -- A.

  • No need for a tripod to a get a HQ shot from a ceiling. I have done it so many times... I'm surprised and disappointed by the support this image is getting. The camera was off-centered, so that the arches on left and right are not symmetrical at all, the cop is a mess and the quality low. Poco a poco (talk) 14:06, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose In the top left corner (please see annotation) there is a yellow coloration on the white surface, which indicates a subsequent coloring within a poorly made selection. However, this is only an assumption. Also, the saturation of the image seems too high to me. I would also suggest a square crop in favor of a more balanced composition. Also, I have to partially agree with the opponents above that the FP standard for church interiors is higher than this one. Nevertheless, the subject is great, and with careful reworking it would have a chance of becoming FP. I am very sorry. -- Radomianin (talk) 15:15, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: This is a renomination. -- A. Öztas 11:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be complete at this point: One nomination did not reach the necessary total number of votes and the other was a different version of this picture, whose nomination I had withdrawn after less than a day. Without going any further into the discussion here, I should have included the reference above (as I subsequently did) when I nominated it. I didn't have in mind at the time that the photo had already been here before. -- A. Öztas 11:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no strict rule about it but it is generally the case that we don't renominate a picture that has failed unless significant improvements have been made to it since the previous nomination. My support still stands in this case, but it isn't normally something we would do. Cmao20 (talk) 13:57, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, see this case for example, a few days ago -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:30, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You didn't have in mind that the structure had already been nominated twice? It's surprising. Anyway, too dark in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:30, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The brief nomination that I withdrew after less than a day and the subsequent one felt like a single attempt to me and this was over a year ago – and quite a lot has happened since then. So yes, it simply slipped my mind. There's no reason to be surprised by that. It was pointed out, the reference was added, and that should suffice. As for the image, I understand that it might indeed appear a bit too dark. Whilst it can always change, at the moment it's just right for me, whether it's enough for an excellence rating or not. I appreciate your perspective and the time you've taken to review it. -- A. Öztas 16:43, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome to discuss here. "Brief nomination" but still three oppose, one question and one comment during this short time. Thus quite a logical withdrawal, in my opinion. We can of course AGF, but reciprocally, we, reviewers, remember that the two similar nominations failed not so long ago, for assumed fair reasons. As Ikan Kekek rightly said in a similar case "Not voting also counts as a lack of interest". Usually, it is obvious to the nominators that a photo has already been nominated, because they need to add "/2" at the end of the file name to create a new FPC, but here the file page has been renamed twice recently. With still no metadata. Of course, since the voters are not always the same at FPC every month, it can happen that a picture which failed the first time is finally promoted by insisting. But you should also understand, as you wrote after the first nomination "I will nominate the original as FP with the reasonable assumption that it will be rejected anyway", that the picture will struggle to pass, even though several of us reiterate their efforts to evaluate again. -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:14, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Discuss about what? After the first answer from you and me, everything was already said, or am I wrong? Of course, we are welcome to deepen the discussion, precisely because it is a topic that affects many aspects of the FP nomination processes and often offers room for different perspectives. In this context, I would like to address a few points that touch on both the past of previous nominations and the general guidelines for repeat submissions. As I mentioned, the first nomination was over a year ago. This distance in the time frame plays a role in my opinion, as it makes it clear that I did not submit the nomination of the structure out of a constant repetition so that it would, as you wrote, "finally be promoted by insisting". The motivation lies more in the fact that I continued to reflect on the image over time and adapted my own view of it. As a photographer, I often experience such processes; a certain development of my own view of the image. Photography, after all, is a medium through which we capture not just what we see, but what we feel at a given moment. And as those feelings evolve, so too can our interpretations of our own work. This growth is natural and, I believe, valuable to the community's understanding of a work as it evolves through the eyes of its creator. At the same time, I understand that for reviewers like you and others who regularly participate in the discussions, there is a certain habit and reminder value when similar or identical images are up for discussion again. What this has to do with AGF here is beyond me. I'm not as familiar with the practice in this area, I'm only on my fourth photo here. I see your references to a previous nomination as a helpful addition and not a criticism per se. The process of weighing up between a possible repetition and the search for new qualities in an image is essential and is shown in the current case by the different feedback and views. I would also like to note that my decision to quickly withdraw the previous nomination should not be understood as an endorsement of a "logical withdrawal". There were several factors at the time, including personal considerations, that led me to withdraw the nomination. It is true that this first nomination was - albeit briefly - on the table and led to reactions, but the circumstances were more complex than they appear at first glance. In my opinion, such a withdrawal should not be seen as a weakening factor for the quality of the picture itself, but as part of the individual process that each artist has to deal with. Furthermore, I would suggest having a broader discussion about the weighting of nominations that have already failed. Of course, there is no doubt that a clear majority should decide the relevance and quality of an image, but there may be cases where an image changes its relevance and quality over time. This could be due to technical improvements, a change in the community's perspective or simply time showing the work in a new light. Such an approach may well make sense for some FPC nominations, particularly for those images that have failed in the past but could potentially find new appreciation. After all, everything and nothing is set in stone here. With regard to the question about the brightness of the image, I agree that this is a subjective judgement and certainly open to discussion. The incidence of light and the colour scheme reflect the mood that I wanted to capture when taking the photograph and are not just technical parameters for me, but part of the aesthetic that I want to convey. Of course, the comment that the image may be perceived as too dark is justified and a question of personal taste - however, it is precisely this difference between subjective perception and objective quality that often leads to divergent assessments. Light plays a powerful role in shaping the emotional resonance of an image, influencing how viewers perceive and connect with it on a deeper level. By intentionally choosing a darker, more subdued lighting, I aimed to create an atmosphere that goes beyond a straightforward representation of the structure itself. This darkness, though perhaps unconventional, allows subtle textures and contrasts to emerge, lending the image a mysterious quality that invites viewers to look closer and consider the piece in a contemplative way. The interplay between shadows and faint highlights, in my view, captures a sense of introspection and draws attention to the sculptural lines of the structure. While brighter lighting may provide more clarity or detail, this more moody approach aligns with the feeling I experienced when taking the photograph, reflecting a quieter, almost meditative atmosphere. Shadows add depth and a sense of timelessness to the scene, suggesting that the image captures not just a single moment but a feeling that could exist outside of time. This play of light and shadow is a deliberate choice, one intended to evoke curiosity and to invite viewers into the scene, allowing them to experience the piece not merely as an architectural object but as a structure with an almost enigmatic presence. At least that's how I feel about this one. In the end, I understand that every image will resonate differently with each person who views it, and I fully respect the diverse perspectives within this community. The beauty of these discussions lies in their ability to reveal new interpretations and insights, both for the artist and for those who critique the work. I look forward to read more of your perspectives in other discussions as well, as these exchanges are invaluable not only for our individual growth but also for enriching the shared vision of what we seek to highlight here. -- A.

The ceiling adornment at the Emir Abdelkader Mosque (built in 1994). It's the second-largest mosque in Algeria
  • No need for a tripod to a get a HQ shot from a ceiling. I have done it so many times... I'm surprised and disappointed by the support this image is getting. The camera was off-centered, so that the arches on left and right are not symmetrical at all, the cop is a mess and the quality low. Poco a poco (talk) 14:06, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose In the top left corner (please see annotation) there is a yellow coloration on the white surface, which indicates a subsequent coloring within a poorly made selection. However, this is only an assumption. Also, the saturation of the image seems too high to me. I would also suggest a square crop in favor of a more balanced composition. Also, I have to partially agree with the opponents above that the FP standard for church interiors is higher than this one. Nevertheless, the subject is great, and with careful reworking it would have a chance of becoming FP. I am very sorry. -- Radomianin (talk) 15:15, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Addendum: If you look at the original version, you can see a more natural coloring. Another indication of subsequent editing, which in my opinion was not done carefully enough. I would like to ask the nominator/editor to place a retouching template with the done work on the file page. Many thanks in advance.

  • Thank you for your reply, Riad Salih. I am sure you have done your best to meet the FP standard. For this, the community thanks you, because every volunteer is needed to keep this project alive. And your work is just as valuable as that of any other volunteer. But participation in this forum thrives on constructive criticism that helps the volunteers maintain the professional standards of the FP project. I too have evolved over the past few years by trying to accept criticism and develop my skills. My suggestion was only meant as an advice to provide with the template the necessary transparency on the file page. If my criticism was perceived as disrespectful, I sincerely apologize.
