Featured pictures are the visual equivalent to featured articles and, as such, are even more subjective.

There is also a category on Wikimedia Commons for images with aspect ratios suitable for wallpapering. There are currently 1281 featured pictures. If you wish to add a specific image to this page, please nominate it on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. Images listed here should be either in the public domain or covered by a free license. One featured picture is chosen as the picture of the day. You can include this box anywhere (e.g., your user page) by adding the text {{pic of the day}} or {{POTD}} where you want the picture to be shown. |
