[edit]
Picture peer review is a staging area for potential Featured Picture Candidates (FPCs) and a place where you can have images evaluated as a Valued Picture Candidate (VPC). You may elect to have your nomination undergo Peer Review as a "spot check" before making a formal FPC nomination, have it evaluated for Valued Picture status, or receive both Peer Review and Valued Picture evaluation. Picture Peer Review (PPR)[edit]You may elect to have your nomination reviewed as a potential Wikipedia:Featured Picture, or simply seek opinions on it. You can do this as well as, or instead of, having it evaluated for VP status. Note: "peer review" usually implies a group of authoritative reviewers who are equally familiar with and expert in the subject. The process represented by this page is not a formal academic peer review in that sense. Images that undergo this process cannot be assumed to have greater authority at FPC than any other. Valued Picture Candidates (VPC)[edit]Valued Pictures are images that add significant value to Wikipedia articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or by being a hard to obtain free use image of the content being illustrated. They may possess many of the characteristics of a Featured Picture, but have a greater emphasis on high encyclopaedic value over technical quality. For the criteria against which VPs are judged refer to the Valued Picture Criteria. For promotion, if an image is listed here for at least seven days with three or more opinions in support (excluding the nominator) it can be added to the Wikipedia:Valued pictures gallery. Note that promotion is ultimately at the discretion of the closer. For example anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets. |

Instructions[edit]Please ensure you have read and understood the VP Criteria and/or FP criteria prior to nominating. For general advice on editing pictures see Wikipedia:How to improve image quality.
Step 3: Transclude the newly created subpage to the TOP of the Picture peer review list (direct link). How to comment[edit]
Please remember to be civil, not to bite the newbies and to comment on the image, not the person.

- Reason
- The Saxifrage family is known as being specially adept at surviving in cracks of cliffs. The particular species shown here is furthermore specially adept at coping with a medium to high arctic oceanic environment. A plant, which exists despite all odds. The flowers are very small and you barely notice them in passing. I estimate the diameter of the flower on the photo was about 6mm. The flower is not yet fully developed. There are no other contributions of this species on Commons except this image of mine of the whole plant.

Valued Picture Criteria
[edit]The criteria for Valued Picture Candidates are based on those for Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates; for the specific criteria against which FPCs are judged, see Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria.
The key difference is that Valued Pictures place primary emphasis on the picture's encyclopaedic value to Wikipedia. Thus standards for this are higher at VP (e.g., the image must have been in its article for at least one month, and it must be a significant addition to its article). By contrast Featured Pictures place higher emphasis on 'technical quality'.
Note: an image cannot be both a VP and an FP. Therefore you cannot nominate an existing FP at VPC. You may nominate existing VPs at FPC, but if a VP is promoted to FP, it will have its VP tag replaced with the FP tag, and will be removed from the VP Gallery.
The criteria for VPCs are:
- The image is encyclopaedically valuable to Wikipedia and has been suitably illustrating an article for at least one month. Images that only make a minor contribution, such as a gallery image, would not be considered to have high encyclopaedic value.
- The image is accurate and has an appropriate caption in its article.
- The image is of a suitable size for its purpose. In general this means it should have acceptable resolution at image page size.
- The image is of acceptable technical quality, without excessive digital manipulation. Technical quality covers such things as composition, lighting, colour balance, and sharpness. In general the image should have acceptable quality at image page size.
- The image has a free license.
Note: to view an image at image page size, click on the thumbnail version displayed in the nomination on this page.

VP Promotion Template
[edit]This is added to the image page of the promoted image.
Option 1:
![]() | This is a Valued Picture, which means that it has been evaluated at Picture peer review and is considered to be of high value to the English Wikipedia, adding significantly to its article. |
Option 2 (shamelessly stealing the Commons VI seal):
![]() | This is a Valued Picture, which means that it has been evaluated at Picture peer review and is considered to be of high value to the English Wikipedia, adding significantly to its article. |

VP Gallery Page
[edit]This page would be set up similar to Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs; a rough example is shown below. Image would be grouped into galleries of 100.
Valued Pictures are images that add significant value to Wikipedia articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or by being a hard to obtain free use image of the content being illustrated. They may possess many of the characteristics of a Featured Picture, but have a greater emphasis on high encyclopaedic value over technical quality.
There are currently 0 Valued Pictures.
For the criteria against which VPs are judged refer to the Valued Picture Criteria. If you wish to nominate an image for Valued Picture status, please do so at Wikipedia:Valued Picture Candidates. Images can only be added to this page following a successful Valued pictures review.
The category Wikipedia valued pictures shows the thumbnails listed alphabetically.
