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

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)

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

Voting period ends on 13 Jun 2024 at 01:41:47
SHORT DESCRIPTION

 Comment We often say that images are “nominated for delisting” and AFAICR apply the “only two nominations” limit also to delist nominations. However I would be happy to learn that I am wrong.
Asking some users which were especially interested in rule discussions in the past – @A.Savin, Basile Morin, Charlesjsharp, Rhododendrites, W.carter – and everybody else with FPC experience: Would you say that the “only two active nominations by the same user” limit applies also to delist nominations (as I have assumed here) or would you say that one can nominate as many images for delisting as one wants?
I would argue that the limit should also apply to delist nominations.
  • Formal argument: the rules say “The delisting rules are the same as those for FPs, with voting taking place over the same time period”, so if not stated differently the two nominations limit should also apply to delist nominations.
  • Material argument: In past discussions the limit has often been justified by emphasizing (1) that nominations must be discussed carefully (we want quality, not quantity); and (2) that the FP maintenance resources are very limited. IMHO both points apply even a fortiori to delist nominations: (1) they certainly need an especially careful discussion (we all want to avoid arbitrary delisting) and (2) they mean even more work for us maintainers than normal nominations – delisting a FP always requires misc. manual edits.
How do you see this? Thank you very much for your statements! Best, – Aristeas (talk) 05:35, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I recall we've had a few discussions about how many delists should be allowed and always come back to the "Delists are the same as normal nominations". Mostly for the reasons that people have such mixed feelings about having delists at all, and that there is so much work in closing them and only a few users know how to do it properly, since it's all done manually.
But since this question pops up from time to time, perhaps we should add a word or two to the rules to clarify this. Such discussions belong on the FPC talk page, not on a nom since it requires input from the community. I suggest you copy these comments to that page and let the discussion continue there. --Cart (talk) 07:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose This image is technically fine, but I don't like the left-leaning nature of the subject. A centered subject is preferable, and a more expressive face is desirable. Overall, not FP in my eyes. Wolverine XI 10:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your review, Wolverine XI. As far as I know, this kind of image composition is often used in documentaries to create suspense and attention. The usual harmonious placement on the right would be the less conspicuous standard. -- Radomianin (talk) 12:35, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Much better thank you! There seems to still be a blurry area close to her right shoulder (so the shoulder that appears on left on the image). There is also a blurry area close to the thumb and close to the other hand. Also, I'm wondering, is it over a table that she's placing her arms or is just a soft surface? Because it is a bit strange how the sort of white table is extremely linear just bellow the body but on the left it becomes a bit wavy (so I think it's a soft surface but that there was a white rectangle applied in postproduction bellow the body) -- Giles Laurent (talk) 17:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Done Thanks for the quick feedback, Giles. The messy spot on her right shoulder has been fixed and the link above has been updated with the 2nd edit. As for the table, I think it's either a soft blanket or a mattress that the model is resting her elbows on. The area in the middle at chest height was probably straightened afterwards by the creator. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 18:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thanks for the update, Yann. Sorry I wasn't that fast :) Updated the link above: I removed the messy spot on the right shoulder that Giles mentioned. I'll leave it up to you if you want to do another update. If so, thanks in advance :) -- Radomianin (talk) 18:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dear Yann, unfortunately in my haste I forgot to edit two spots mentioned by Giles, namely those on the right thumb and the left hand. I apologize that you have to take action again, but you can wait until tomorrow after Giles has checked again. I think all the spots are fixed now. The link above has been updated. It's the best we can do to rescue the nomination :) Sincerely, -- Radomianin (talk) 20:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sandnes City Map
Just a note from a Scandi. These days the languages (Norwegian/Swedish/Danish) spoken and written by Scandinavians contain a lot of English words and expressions, and most of us don't know the difference between pure American and British English. We learn and use a hodgepodge from what we pick up in media, films and tv shows, and try to adapt what we say so that people will understand the meaning rather than true translations. It's sort of the Scandi version of Pidgin English. Hence we use the real names of companies like 'Vinmonopolet' (in Sweden, Systembolaget has the same function) when speaking among foreign friends, but terms like 'Liquor Store' when describing it to the public in general. --Cart (talk) 11:18, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever it should be called, the Vinmonopolet is nowhere near the shown location from 2022, so you'd never find it using this map. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:13, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Leaning keep, but a few comments/questions: 1) why not go with the svg version? 2) It looks like File:City map stavanger.svg is the user's masterwork (in its 24th edition!). 3) Since it looks like the creator regularly updates these, does promoting it to FP prevent that updating? Would it have to be a separate file? I would support a rare exception to the prohibition on changing FPs once they're promoted in a case like this, since updates are likely just going to make it more accurate (and remove mistakes/out of date locations). — Rhododendrites talk17:23, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

 Comment We often say that images are “nominated for delisting” and AFAICR apply the “only two nominations” limit also to delist nominations. However I would be happy to learn that I am wrong.
Asking some users which were especially interested in rule discussions in the past – @A.Savin, Basile Morin, Charlesjsharp, Rhododendrites, W.carter – and everybody else with FPC experience: Would you say that the “only two active nominations by the same user” limit applies also to delist nominations (as I have assumed here) or would you say that one can nominate as many images for delisting as one wants?
I would argue that the limit should also apply to delist nominations.
  • Formal argument: the rules say “The delisting rules are the same as those for FPs, with voting taking place over the same time period”, so if not stated differently the two nominations limit should also apply to delist nominations.
  • Material argument: In past discussions the limit has often been justified by emphasizing (1) that nominations must be discussed carefully (we want quality, not quantity); and (2) that the FP maintenance resources are very limited. IMHO both points apply even a fortiori to delist nominations: (1) they certainly need an especially careful discussion (we all want to avoid arbitrary delisting) and (2) they mean even more work for us maintainers than normal nominations – delisting a FP always requires misc. manual edits.
How do you see this? Thank you very much for your statements! Best, – Aristeas (talk) 05:35, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I recall we've had a few discussions about how many delists should be allowed and always come back to the "Delists are the same as normal nominations". Mostly for the reasons that people have such mixed feelings about having delists at all, and that there is so much work in closing them and only a few users know how to do it properly, since it's all done manually.
But since this question pops up from time to time, perhaps we should add a word or two to the rules to clarify this. Such discussions belong on the FPC talk page, not on a nom since it requires input from the community. I suggest you copy these comments to that page and let the discussion continue there. --Cart (talk) 07:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose This image is technically fine, but I don't like the left-leaning nature of the subject. A centered subject is preferable, and a more expressive face is desirable. Overall, not FP in my eyes. Wolverine XI 10:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your review, Wolverine XI. As far as I know, this kind of image composition is often used in documentaries to create suspense and attention. The usual harmonious placement on the right would be the less conspicuous standard. -- Radomianin (talk) 12:35, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Much better thank you! There seems to still be a blurry area close to her right shoulder (so the shoulder that appears on left on the image). There is also a blurry area close to the thumb and close to the other hand. Also, I'm wondering, is it over a table that she's placing her arms or is just a soft surface? Because it is a bit strange how the sort of white table is extremely linear just bellow the body but on the left it becomes a bit wavy (so I think it's a soft surface but that there was a white rectangle applied in postproduction bellow the body) -- Giles Laurent (talk) 17:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Done Thanks for the quick feedback, Giles. The messy spot on her right shoulder has been fixed and the link above has been updated with the 2nd edit. As for the table, I think it's either a soft blanket or a mattress that the model is resting her elbows on. The area in the middle at chest height was probably straightened afterwards by the creator. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 18:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thanks for the update, Yann. Sorry I wasn't that fast :) Updated the link above: I removed the messy spot on the right shoulder that Giles mentioned. I'll leave it up to you if you want to do another update. If so, thanks in advance :) -- Radomianin (talk) 18:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dear Yann, unfortunately in my haste I forgot to edit two spots mentioned by Giles, namely those on the right thumb and the left hand. I apologize that you have to take action again, but you can wait until tomorrow after Giles has checked again. I think all the spots are fixed now. The link above has been updated. It's the best we can do to rescue the nomination :) Sincerely, -- Radomianin (talk) 20:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sandnes City Map
Just a note from a Scandi. These days the languages (Norwegian/Swedish/Danish) spoken and written by Scandinavians contain a lot of English words and expressions, and most of us don't know the difference between pure American and British English. We learn and use a hodgepodge from what we pick up in media, films and tv shows, and try to adapt what we say so that people will understand the meaning rather than true translations. It's sort of the Scandi version of Pidgin English. Hence we use the real names of companies like 'Vinmonopolet' (in Sweden, Systembolaget has the same function) when speaking among foreign friends, but terms like 'Liquor Store' when describing it to the public in general. --Cart (talk) 11:18, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever it should be called, the Vinmonopolet is nowhere near the shown location from 2022, so you'd never find it using this map. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:13, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Leaning keep, but a few comments/questions: 1) why not go with the svg version? 2) It looks like File:City map stavanger.svg is the user's masterwork (in its 24th edition!). 3) Since it looks like the creator regularly updates these, does promoting it to FP prevent that updating? Would it have to be a separate file? I would support a rare exception to the prohibition on changing FPs once they're promoted in a case like this, since updates are likely just going to make it more accurate (and remove mistakes/out of date locations). — Rhododendrites talk17:23, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
