A featured picture should:
- Be a photograph, diagram, image or animation that exemplifies Wikipedia's very best work. It should represent what Wikipedia offers that is unique on the Internet.
- Be available under an acceptable free license (i.e. not fair use).
- Be useful, accurate, and pleasing to the eye.
- Useful: Adds value to an article and helps complete readers' understanding of an article in ways other pictures in the article do not.
- Accurate: Supported by facts in the article or references cited on the image page.
- Pleasing to the eye: Taken or created in a manner which best illustrates the subject of the image. The picture should make a reader want to know more.
- Be displayed with a descriptive, informative and complete caption.
- Be of a sufficiently high resolution to allow quality reproductions. (Currently, images under 1000 pixels are seldom supported, unless they are of historical significance.)
