Nominate for removal

[edit]

Is there a process for nominating images to be removed from the list of valued images? These were promoted in 2014 and do not meet criteria #3 ("Must illustrate its subject well"): Valued image set: Five Tibetan Rites (animation). Dreamyshade (talk) 17:03, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No idea I'm afraid. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying and failing to find an answer to the same question. File:(Venice) Fra'Mauro's World Map - Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana.jpg has this week turned out to be AI-upscaled image, and extremely flawed if the viewer zooms in to look at the details of what the map shows. --Belbury (talk) 20:39, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've boldly removed the {{VI}} template from this map, in absence of any guidance for how to flag images for removal from the list, and with a deletion discussion having agreed that it is a poor quality image (albeit one which was kept because it is in use on some other projects).
Commons should clearly not be describing this as "the most valued image on Commons within the scope" when it has visible errors, and when Commons has other, more accurate photographs of the map within the same category. Belbury (talk) 11:27, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template for Most Valued Image Closure

[edit]

Hello everyone. Often, I have taken 15-20 minutes to close a single MVR since it doesn't have an existing template and we have to keep our eyes wide open as scope for mistakes are much wide open when we approach this type of closure. Hence, for a long period of time, I am trying to create a template which could do the work so. However, given I have not much expertise in template building, I couldn't be able to do so. However, what I think is I have created a very, very raw template which still cannot do things as expected, but is a start. If anybody can help, it will save much time for our fellow volunteers hoping to close MVRs. Pinging Archaeodontosaurus, Charlesjsharp, Ivanhercaz, and Eusebius for the same.

I have failed to understand the process of closing MVRs so any help very welcome. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:23, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging MichaelMaggs, George Chernilevsky, and Yann.for a participation in the discussion, since according to me, this is something which is a very big mess which was not cleared up for some reasons. If I do not see participation of any here, I shall also promote this discussion to COM:VP. Contributor2020Talk to me here! 14:00, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've been out of the loop for a very, very long time. You can count me out I'm afraid. Eusebius (talk) 21:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination issue

[edit]

Hello! Apologies, Commons:Valued image candidates/File:Laverna Katie Dollimore.jpg doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone spot where I went wrong in the nomination, please? -- Region of Peel Archives (talk) 18:29, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Problem in VI

[edit]

3 nominations are temporarily withdrawn because they block the functioning of VI. Only authors can open nominations to look for the common fault...
