Wikipedia talk:Featured picture candidates

FPCs needing feedback

Cleanup.

I already started doing this, but may as well say:

I'm going to go through the bottom few images in every FP category, and just check for, basically:

• Images with an obvious D&R candidate (e.g. Google Art Project scans; LoC images where a much larger copy exists)
• Images that don't come anywhere near our current quality standards - I don't mean ones that are a tiny bit under resolution, or which need a little cleanup, I mean egregiously so.
• Images not in use/replaced with another image.

These will be nominated for deletion. I'll batch together anything with similar issues - do we really need fifty "Google Art Scan available to replace a much lower quality original" nominations? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:50, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

We screwed up again

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Jim Morrison (2) probably shouldn't have been promoted: It's been deleted on Commons now. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:37, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

• We didn't screw up. Someone gamed the system until he got what he wanted. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:05, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Camera cleaning

Can someone tell me if my camera needs to be cleaned based on a picture?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 01:45, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

• Yes. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:05, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
  • How much does my camera need to be cleaned based on File:20150902 Quest Multisport clinic Tim Hardaway.JPG.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:31, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

    • I would follow the instructions at this page to have a look. The example image you gave is much too busy. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:27, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

How many at one time?

How many Featured picture candidates can one nominator have up at one time?

Thank you,

• We don't have any rules about that. Nominators are expected to be reasonable, though. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:59, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Oh okay sounds good. So perhaps wait till a prior nomination has gotten further down the list, that sort of thing. :) — Cirt (talk) 08:16, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
    • Yeah.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:58, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

@Cirt: Consider doing a joint nomination if it makes sense to do so, like those currency sets we've been seeing of late. Thinking about this may also help identify additional EV that maybe wasn't obvious at first. HTH, Samsara 02:44, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
