Valued image seal.svg

These are the candidates to become valued images. Please note that this is not the same as featured pictures or quality images. If you simply want some feedback on your pictures you can get that at photography critiques.

Single images can be proposed for valued image (VI) status. Candidates must be proposed as being the most valuable of all Commons' images within a specified scope. Judging is carried out according to the valued image criteria.

A Most Valued Review (MVR) is opened where there are two or more candidates competing within essentially the same scope.

The rules for promotion can be found at Commons:Valued image candidates/Promotion rules.

An image which has previously been declined can be renominated within the same scope only if the issues leading to the original decline have been addressed. Previously nominated images that were closed as "undecided" can be renominated at any time. Once a candidate achieves VI or VIS status it can normally be demoted only if some better candidate replaces it during an MVR.

If you would like to nominate an image for VI status, please do so following the instructions below. If you are proposing a better candidate within essentially the same scope as an image which already has VI status, please open an MVR.

How to nominate an image for VI status[edit]

Nominations will be evaluated using the criteria listed at Commons:Valued image criteria. Please read those criteria before submitting an image to help cut down on the number of candidates that have a low chance of success. Make sure you understand the concept of scope and how to choose the correct scope for your nomination.

Please make sure that your proposed image fulfills all of the necessary criteria before nominating it. For example, if it needs to be geocoded, do that in advance. If no appropriate categories exist, create and link them beforehand. Although some reviewers may help by fixing minor issues during the review process, it is your responsibility as nominator to ensure your image ticks all the necessary boxes before you propose it. If you nominate an image that ignores one of the criteria, don't be surprised if it fails VI review.

Adding a new nomination (image)[edit]

Step 1: Copy the image name into this box (excluding the File: prefix), at the end of the text already present in the box, for example, Commons:Valued image candidates/My-image-filename.jpg. Then click on the "Create new nomination" button.


Step 2: Follow the instructions on the page that you are taken to, and save the resulting VIC subpage.

Step 3: Manually add the candidate image towards the end of Commons:Valued image candidates/candidate list (under the heading "New valued image nominations"), as the last parameter in the VICs template. Click here, and append the following line as the last parameter of the relevant section:

|My-image-filename.jpg

so that it looks like this:

{{VICs
 ...
 |My-image-filename.jpg
}}

and save the candidate list.

Renomination[edit]

Declined VICs can be renominated by any registered user, but only after one or more of the root cause(s) leading to a decline has/have been addressed. Undecided VICs can be renominated as is although it is still recommended to consider and fix issue(s) which may have hindered a promotion of the candidate in the previous review.

Besides fixing issues with the previous nomination the following procedure shall be followed upon renomination.

Step 1: Edit the candidate subpage you intend to renominate. All declined and undecided VICs are placed in either Category:Declined valued image candidates, or Category:Undecided valued image candidates and sorted by the date of the previous nomination.

Step 2: Replace the previous nomination date and time by pasting in

|date={{subst:VI-time}}

Step 3: Replace the "undecided" or "declined" status with "nominated" (or "discussed" if you intend to add it to a Most Valued Review).

Step 4: If the previous nominator was a different user replace the nominator parameter with

|nominator=~~~

Step 5: If the candidate does not already have an archive link to previous reviews: Create one using the following procedure.

  • Cut the text in the previous review section (leave the closing braces "}}")
  • replace the review parameter with
|review=
{{subst:VIC-archive}}
}}
  • Save the page.
  • There is now a red link to Previous reviews. Click the link to create the archive subpage and paste in the previous reviews.
  • Save the previous reviews archive page

Step 6: Add the candidate to the candidates list.

How to open a Most Valued Review[edit]

There must be at least two candidates competing within essentially the same scope to open an MVR. Each needs its own VIC subpage, which should be created as above if it does not already exist, but with status set to "discussed". Then, add the following section at the end of the page Commons:Valued image candidates/Most valued review candidate list:

=== Scope ===
{{VICs
  |candidate1.jpg
  |candidate2.jpg
}}

where Scope is the scope of both images, and candidate1.jpg and candidate2.jpg are the respective candidates. If need be, also remove the relevant image(s) from the list in Pending valued image candidates

If one of the candidates is an existing VI within essentially the same scope, the original VIC subpage is re-opened for voting by changing its status to status=discussed and new reviews are appended to the original VIC subpage. However, any original votes are not counted within the MVR.

The status parameter of each candidate should remain set to "discussed" while the MVR is ongoing.

How to review the candidates[edit]

How to review an image[edit]

Any registered user can review the valued image candidates. Comments are welcome from everyone, but neither the nominator nor the original image author may vote (that does not exclude voting from users who have edited the image with a view to improving it).

Nominations should be evaluated using the criteria listed at Commons:Valued image criteria. Please read those and the page on scope carefully before reviewing. Reviewing here is a serious business, and a reviewer who just breezes by to say "I like it!" is not adding anything of value. You need to spend the time to check the nomination against every one of the six VI criteria, and you also need to carry out searches to satisfy yourself on the "most valuable" criterion.

Review procedure[edit]

  • On the review page the image is presented in the review size. You are welcome to view the image in full resolution by following the image links, but bear in mind that it is the appearance of the image at review size which matters.
  • Check the candidate carefully against each of the six VI criteria. The criteria are mandatory, and to succeed the candidate has to satisfy all six.
  • Use the where used field, if provided, to study the current usage of the candidate in Wikimedia projects. If you find usage of interest do add relevant links to the nomination.
  • Look for other images of the same kind of subject by following the links to relevant categories in the image page, and to any Commons galleries.
    • If you find another image which is already a VI within essentially the same scope, the candidate and the existing VI should be moved to Most Valued Review (MVR) to determine which one is the more valued.
    • If you find one or more other images which in your opinion are equally or more valued images within essentially the same scope, you should nominate these images as well and move all the candidates to an MVR.
  • Once you have made up your mind, edit the review page and add your vote or comment to the review parameter as follows:
You type You get When
*{{Comment}} My Comment. -- ~~~~ You have a comment.
*{{Info}} My information. -- ~~~~ You have information.
*{{Neutral}} Reason for neutral vote. -- ~~~~
  • Symbol neutral vote.svg Neutral Reason for neutral vote. -- Example
You are uncertain or wish to record a neutral vote.
*{{Oppose}} Reason for opposing vote. -- ~~~~
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose Reason for opposing vote. -- Example
You think that the candidate fails one or more of the six mandatory criteria.
*{{Question}} My question. -- ~~~~ You have a question.
*{{Support}} Reason for supporting. -- ~~~~
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support Reason for supporting. -- Example
You think that the candidate meets all of the six mandatory criteria.
  • If the nomination fails one of the six criteria, but in a way that can be fixed, you can optionally let the nominator know what needs to be done using the {{VIF}} template.
  • Your comment goes immediately before the final closing braces "}}" on the page.
How to update the status
  • Finally, change the status of the nomination if appropriate:
    • status=nominated When no votes or only neutral votes have been added to the review field (blue image border).
    • status=supported When there is at least one {{Support}} vote but no {{Oppose}} votes (light green image border).
    • status=opposed When there is at least one {{Oppose}} vote but no {{Support}} votes (red image border).
    • status=discussed When there is at least one {{Oppose}} vote and one {{Support}} vote (yellow image border).


Remember the criteria: 1. Most valuable 2. Suitable scope 3. Illustrates well 4. Fully described 5. Geocoded 6. Well categorized.

Changes in scope during the review period[edit]

The nominator is allowed to make changes in scope as the review proceeds, for example in response to reviewer votes or comments. Whenever a scope is changed the nominator should post a signed comment at the bottom of the review area using {{VIC-scope-change|old scope|new scope|--~~~~}}, and should also leave a note on the talk page of all existing voters asking them to reconsider their vote. A support vote made before the change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn.

You can submit new nominations starting on COM:VIC.

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment. A very sad occasion. But I can't see much in the picture because the main part is grossly overexposed. I am amazed that this photo is marked as "one of the most outstanding image files". -- Spurzem (talk) 11:31, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support This photo was declined at QIC because of the fault you mention and others, but it's clear enough as a thumbnail and on the file page to be useful. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:34, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek: Should we not see especially on a valuable picture what it wants to say? I recognize a group of people, some with smartphones and camera, one man seems to be praying, but the partly overexposed picture says nothing more. Maybe that it is useful to illustrate an article but I don't think that it is a VI. -- Spurzem (talk) 21:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We simply disagree, which is fine. I think it's clearly an outdoor shrine to people who died, with a crowd of reverent people around it. And if it's useful to illustrate an article on the subject, that makes it a VI to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:00, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Pictogram-voting-question.svg Question In the past I had a bird nom rejected because the image did not show all of the feet. In this case, while the image is of good quality and shows the Vs on the breast of the bird really well, this bird appears to have only one leg. I don't think this is characteristic of the species. Can you comment? --GRDN711 (talk) 01:14, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
the repeat of the binomial defines the suspecies. It is not essential to mention this for the nominate ssp but is helpful for VI. Two legs would be better than one if the rest of the image is as good. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:09, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the explanation. Unfortunately, on the nominatiion, I Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose with regret. The image is excellent quality but IMHO for VI, all of the subject should be showing.

  • Pictogram-voting-question.svg Question I had imagined that the fuzzy shape behind the first leg could be the foot of the second leg. Is it true that he only had one leg?

@Tagooty: I don't understand your interpretation of the rule. Where is it specifically written that a scope like this is not permitted? Regards -- Spurzem (talk) 19:29, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
See the first clause in COM:Valued_image_scope#Animals "General rule is: one scope per species". The species Axis axis is present in Corbett and in many other places. AFAIK, there is no sub-species that is peculiar to Corbett. This interpretation was reiterated by @Charlesjsharp: and @Ikan Kekek: when I had made a similar nomination in the past. --Tagooty (talk) 04:20, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. A scope for every location you could find a species (or car) would be very silly. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:53, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So, if I understand your interpretation of the rules correctly, there can only exist two valuable images of lions in the commons for example: one of a male and one of a female. Is it correct that way? So it doesn't matter whether the animal is photographed from behind or in front, whether it is standing, lying, running or jumping, whether it is eating or sleeping, in which surroundings it is, and so on. Two valuable images are enough!? -- Spurzem (talk) 14:47, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is not correct, there can be many sub-scopes. Please see clauses 2, 4 and 5 in COM:Valued_image_scope#Animals. There are many examples of promoted VIs that follow such sub-scopes. --Tagooty (talk) 12:25, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment Thank you, Ikan, for the wording note (corrected). I must have been thinking about the money I do not have when I really meant “dispersed” as in distributed or spread over a wide area.
Winter Harbor is indeed spread out. The image you reference does not show much of the town but primarily shows the ferry dock in Henry Cove to the east. This is where you catch the local ferry to Bar Harbor, or sight seeing boats to Petit Manan. There is also a separate commercial harbor for fishing boats and the fishing cooperative. A small main street of two blocks of stores and restaurants is partially shown on the left. IMO, this nomination best shows most of Winter Harbor as a collection of homes, cottages, B&Bs, the post office, boat launch facilities and three restaurants. It was taken from the ferry dock without benefit of a drone. --GRDN711 (talk) 13:10, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    • First of all I didn't think to select a own valued image for each side. Perhaps you're right. But the north side is the side the romans build to impress the Germanic tribes so it's a kind of "main side" and more impressing. Most pictures in books and postcards show the north side. But as a "UNESCO World Heritage Site" the Porta Nigra may got a valued image for each side. --Berthold Werner (talk) 15:19, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other criteria check out for me too, so its a support from my side.

  • Symbol support vote.svg Support I prefer this one, because there are no cars in the foreground. --Palauenc05 (talk) 09:56, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support Agree with Palauenc05. Without cars in the foreground makes this image more valuable. --GRDN711 (talk) 13:36, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support It also lacks competition from the clouds. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:39, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support IMHO an exemplary hi-res image, certainly a VI. Congrats: 44 images ... and, as yet, I haven't detected a single stitching error, even in the multitude of leaves at right. Which software do you use? Tremendous detail - every single chisel mark visible. Quite often hi-res images with low contrast do not readily appeal to the eye when rendered at lo-res, say a few hundred pixels each edge, but this image sports enough colour and contrast to please at any resolution. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 16:51, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scope:
Römer (Frankfurt am Main)
Reason:
good perspective, nice light and good overall quality IMO -- Wolf im Wald
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support. This image is valuable and useful too for me. But I like your other image of the Römer with front view still better. Perhaps you should spezify the scope. -- Spurzem (talk) 12:46, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment Hallo Lothar, ich antworte dir mal auf Deutsch. Das Problem ist, dass auch die beiden nicht rötlichen Gebäudeteile rechts im Bild zum Römer gehören. Das wusste ich damals nicht, als ich das alte Bild geschossen habe. Daher denke ich, dass das neue Bild anschaulicher ist und das alte sollte seine VI-Auszeichnung verlieren. Am Scope sollte daher wohl nichts verändert werden. Grüße und danke für dein Pro! :-) -- Wolf im Wald 19:05, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ich verstehe den Sinn des Manövers nicht. Mir gefallen beide Bilder gut, und da sie aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln aufgenommen sind, könnten beide ausgezeichnet werden. Aber mir ist es egal; ich verstehe sowieso nicht, nach welchen Kriterien hier bewertet wird, zumal es von heute auf morgen anders sein kann. Viele Grüße -- Spurzem (talk) 16:15, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ich finde das andere Bild bietet keinen Mehrwert und da es ohnehin technisch veraltet und fotografisch schlechter ist, braucht es auch keine Auszeichnung. Grüße -- Wolf im Wald 01:53, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pictogram voting info.svg Info The building is not fully represented in the old photo because it consists of 5 parts and the two on the right, which look slightly different in color, are cut off. In addition, the old picture does not show very well that the building facade has a bend on the left side between the first and the 2nd part of building near the blue EU flag (see [2]). -- Wolf im Wald 01:53, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support per "Info" above. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:54, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scope:
Horses of the Basque Country
  • Q28, if horses of the Basque Country are visually recognizable as different from horses in other places and there is as yet no valued image in this category, please nominate the photo you consider best in scope. I see no reason for us to rate several images before you've taken those steps. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:05, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean that I only keep the nomination of one pic and withdraw all the other very close pictures? Q28 (talk) 14:21, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek\ Q28 (talk) 14:22, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please use the normal nomination process, not Most Valuable Review. Decide which picture is best in scope, as I said. But first, make sure you know that horses from the Basque Country are visually distinguishable from horses from other places. Are they? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek, although the answer is no, in the previous nomination, "horse" was considered too wide, so I can only use "Horses of the Basque Country" as the scope of nomination. Q28 (talk) 05:02, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You can't unless there's something recognizably different about the appearance of Basque horses than horses in, say, Asturias. Valued image scopes must be visually distinguishable. Please read Commons:Valued image scope. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:14, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
