These are the candidates for becoming quality images. This is not the same thing as featured pictures. If you want informal feedback on your photos, please ask at Commons:Photography critiques.

Purpose

[edit]

The purpose of quality images is to encourage the people that are the foundation of Commons, the individual users who provide the unique images that expand this collection. While featured pictures identifies the absolute best of all the images loaded into Commons, Quality images sets out to identify and encourage users’ efforts in providing quality images to Commons. Additionally, quality images should be a place to refer other users to when explaining methods for improving an image.


Guidelines

[edit]

All nominated images should be the work of Commons users.

For nominators

[edit]

Below are the general guidelines for Quality images; more detailed criteria are available at Image guidelines.

Image page requirements
[edit]
  1. Copyright status. Quality image candidates have to be uploaded to Commons under a suitable license. The full license requirements are at Commons:Copyright tags.
  2. Images should comply with all Commons policies and practices, including Commons:Photographs of identifiable people.
  3. Quality images shall have a meaningful file name, be properly categorized and have an accurate description on the file page in one or more languages. It is preferred, but not mandatory, to include an English description.
  4. No advertisements or signatures in image. Copyright and authorship information of quality images should be located on the image page and may be in the image metadata, but should not interfere with image contents.


Creator
[edit]
Proposed wording changes to specifically exclude AI generate media from being eligable for QI see discussion

Pictures must have been created by a Wikimedian in order to be eligible for QI status. This means that pictures from, for example, Flickr are ineligible unless the photographer is a Commons user. (Note that Featured Pictures do not have this requirement.) Photographical reproductions of two-dimensional works of art, made by Wikimedians, are eligible (and should be licensed PD-old according to the Commons guidelines). If an image is promoted despite not being the creation of a Wikimedian, the QI status should be removed as soon as the mistake is detected.


Technical requirements
[edit]

More detailed criteria are available at Commons:Image guidelines.

Resolution
[edit]

Bitmapped images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF) should normally have at least 2 megapixels; reviewers may demand more for subjects that can be photographed easily. This is because images on Commons may be printed, viewed on monitors with very high resolution, or used in future media. This rule excludes vector graphics (SVG) or computer-generated images that have been constructed with freely-licensed or open software programs as noted in the image's description.

Image quality
[edit]

Digital images can suffer various problems originating in image capture and processing, such as preventable noise, problems with JPEG compression, lack of information in shadow or highlight areas, or problems with capture of colors. All these issues should be handled correctly.

Composition and lighting
[edit]

The arrangement of the subject within the image should contribute to the image. Foreground and background objects should not be distracting. Lighting and focus also contribute to the overall result; the subject should be sharp, uncluttered, and well-exposed.

Value
[edit]

Our main goal is to encourage quality images being contributed to Wikicommons, valuable for Wikimedia and other projects.

How to nominate

[edit]

Simply add a line of this form at the top of Commons:Quality images candidates/candidate list Nominations section:

File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Nomination|Very short description  --~~~~ |}}

The description shouldn't be more than a few words, and please leave a blank line between your new entry and any existing entries.

If you are nominating an image by another Wikimedian, include their username in the description as below:

File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Nomination|Very short description (by [[User:USERNAME|USERNAME]]) --~~~~ |}}

Note: there is a Gadget, QInominator, which makes nominations quicker. It adds a small "Nominate this image for QI" link at the top of every file page. Clicking the link adds the image to a list of potential candidates. When this list is completed, edit Commons:Quality images candidates/candidate list. At the top of the edit window a green bar will be displayed. Clicking the bar inserts all potential candidates into the edit window.

Number of nominations

[edit]

No more than five images per day can be added by a single nominator.

Note: If possible, for every picture you nominate, please review at least one of the other candidates.

Evaluating images

[edit]
Any registered user whose accounts have at least 10 days and 50 edits, other than the author and the nominator, can review a nomination. For an easier evaluation you can activate the gadget QICvote

When evaluating images the reviewer should consider the same guidelines as the nominator.

How to review

[edit]

How to update the status

Carefully review the image. Open it in full resolution, and check if the quality criteria are met.

  • If you decide to promote the nomination, change the relevant line from
File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Nomination|Very short description --~~~~ | }}

to

File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Promotion|Very short description --Nominators signature |Why you liked it. --~~~~}}

In other words, change the template from /Nomination to /Promotion and add your signature, possibly with some short comment.

  • If you decide to decline the nomination, change the relevant line from
File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Nomination|Very short description --~~~~ | }}

to

File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Decline|Very short description --Nominators signature |Why you didn't like it. --~~~~}}

In other words, change the template from /Nomination to /Decline and add your signature, possibly with a statement of the criteria under which the image failed (you can use titles of section from the guidelines). If there are many problems, please note only 2 or 3 of the most severe, or add multiple problems. When declining a nomination please do explain the reasons on the nominator’s talk page – as a rule, be nice and encouraging! In the message you should give a more detailed explanation of your decision.

Note: Please evaluate the oldest images first.

Grace period and promotion

[edit]

If there are no objections within a period of 2 days (exactly 48 hours) from the first review, the image becomes promoted or fails according to the review it received. If you have objection, just change its status to Discuss and it will be moved to the Consensual review section.

How to execute decision

[edit]

QICbot automatically handles this 2 days after a decision has been made, and promoted images are cached in Commons:Quality Images/Recently promoted awaiting categorization before their automatic insertion in to appropriate Quality images pages.

If you believe that you have identified an exceptional image that is worthy of Featured picture status then consider also nominating the image at Commons:Featured picture candidates.

Manual instructions (open only in cases of emergency)

If promoted,

  1. Add the image to appropriate group or groups of Quality images page. The image also needs to be added to the associated sub pages, only 3–4 of the newest images should be displayed on the main page.
  2. Add {{QualityImage}} template to the bottom of image description page.
  3. Move the line with the image nomination and review to Commons:Quality images candidates/Archives December 2024.
  4. Add the template {{File:imagename.jpg}} to the user’s talk page.

If declined,

  1. move the line with the image nomination and review to Commons:Quality images candidates/Archives December 2024.
  • Images awaiting review show the nomination outlined in blue.
  • Images the reviewer has accepted show the nomination outlined in green
  • Images the reviewer has rejected show the nomination outlined in red

Unassessed images (nomination outlined in blue)

[edit]

Nominated images which have not generated assessments either to promote nor to decline, or a consensus (equal opposition as support in consensual review) after 8 days on this page should be removed from this page without promotion, archived in Commons:Quality images candidates/Archives December 18 2024 and Category:Unassessed QI candidates added to the image.

Consensual review process

[edit]

Consensual review is a catch all place used in the case the procedure described above is insufficient and needs discussion for more opinions to emerge.

How to ask for consensual review

[edit]

To ask for consensual review, just change the /Promotion, /Decline to /Discuss and add your comments immediately following the review. An automatic bot will move it to the consensual review section within one day.

Please only send things to consensual review that have been reviewed as promoted/declined. If, as a reviewer, you cannot make a decision, add your comments but leave the candidate on this page.

Consensual review

[edit]

Rules

These rules are in accordance with the procedures normally followed in this section. If you don’t agree with them please feel free to propose changes.

  • To ask for consensual review, just change the /Promotion, /Decline to /Discuss and add your comments immediately following the review. An automatic bot will move it to the consensual review section within one day. Alternatively move the image line from the main queue to Consensual Review/Images and follow the instructions in the edit window.
  • You can move an image here if you contest the decision of the reviewer or have doubts about its eligibility (in which case an 'oppose' is assumed). In any case, please explain your reasons. Our QICBot will move it for you. When the bot moves it, you might have to revisit the nomination and expand your review into the Consensual Review format and add "votes".
  • The decision is taken by majority of opinions, including the one of the first reviewer and excluding the nominator's. After a minimum period of 48 hours since the last entry, the decision will be registered at the end of the text using the template {{QICresult}} and then executed, according to the Guidelines.
Using {{support}} or {{oppose}} will make it easier to count your vote.
Votes by anonymous contributors aren't counted
  • In case of draw, or if no additional opinions are given other than the first reviewer's, the nomination can be closed as inconclusive after 8 days, counted from its entry.
  • Turn any existing comments into bullet points—add  Oppose and  Support if necessary.
  • Add a comment explaining why you've moved the image here - be careful to stay inside the braces.
  • Preview and save with a sensible edit summary like "+Image:Example.jpg".



File:Untere_Bergbahn_Heidelberg,_Station_Schloss,_Blick_nach_unten.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Heidelberg mountain railway, castle station, view from the car downward --Plozessor 04:00, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion
     Oppose I'm sorry, but there is too much noise in shadows and blown-out highlights --Jakubhal 04:56, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
    Uploaded a slightly improved version and would like to hear other opinions. Please consider that this was taken from a train car in a dark tunnel through a window with some distant spots being in bright sunlight. --Plozessor 05:17, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
     Oppose Same reason with Jakubhal --HridoyKundu 06:19, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

File:Ponte_di_Rialto_Venice_2.jpg

  • Nomination Ponte di Rialto, Venice. --Kallerna 17:56, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion
     Support Good quality. --FlocciNivis 20:07, 15 December 2024 (UTC) What about PC? Verticals on the left side are tilted.--Milseburg 14:28, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

File:Swineherd_statue_in_Riedlingen_(2).jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Swineherd statue in Riedlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. --Tournasol7 05:36, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion
    The subject is well depicted but too dark, would you try to enhance shadow? --Terragio67 07:06, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
    Imo it is not too dark, the sky is cloudy --Michielverbeek 07:45, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
    Hi Michielverbeek, I understand what you mean... My proposal is to make the photo this way with small changes... --Terragio67 13:47, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
    Sorry, but I have not opened your link. Now the photo contains enough details for QI and the shadows are not strong --Michielverbeek 08:40, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
    Since there are distractions in the background (red) in my opinion in this case it is important to enhance and illuminate the subject to give it prominence. It's not an obligation, it's just advice from my point of view. --Terragio67 18:15, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
    More opininons please --Michielverbeek 06:41, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Discussion  Support Good quality.--~~~~
     Support Good quality. --Remontees 21:39, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
     Oppose Sorry, but looking at the other pictures in the category I come to the conclusion that the proportions are very distorted here (due to the perspective correction I suppose). Please discuss --Екатерина Борисова 07:19, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

File:Naso_unicornis_A74259020241123.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Naso unicornis, Rio de Janeiro Aquarium. --Rjcastillo 00:57, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Not sharp enough for me, sorry --I.Mahesh 01:56, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
  • I disagree. let's validate other opinions. --Rjcastillo 02:30, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
  •  Support Sharpness acceptable for the situation IMO. --Plozessor 05:47, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

File:At_Frankfurt_am_Main_2024_019.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Willi Schmidt: Große Liegende, Frankfurt --Mike Peel 09:42, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion
  •  Oppose Background needs a perspective improvement --Michielverbeek 10:04, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Perspective tweaked, does that look better? There's limited scope for adjustment before the statue starts being distorted. Thanks. Mike Peel 11:25, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Imo the background still has to be more straight, but I also realize the main object is very close to the camera position. I would like to hear other opinions about this perspective issue --Michielverbeek 08:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
  •  Support Actually this shouldn't go to Discussions without a vote. But anyway: The picture was taken downward. "Fixing" the perspective so that the background is straight would make the statue appear very unnatural - if you want a picture of that statue with a straight background then take it from the front, not from above. But a picture from above has its right to exist and IMO the current perspective is a good compromise. --Plozessor 05:51, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

  •  Support Good quality. --XRay 08:41, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Let's discuss about the top crop here please. I know that this is not the subject here, but there are only a few pixels left, so that it looks as something is missing here. --Milseburg 11:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose because of bad stitching error (antennas in mid-air on top of one building). But the image is also weirdly distorted and not too sharp overall. --Plozessor 12:23, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Error during stitching. Would switch to support if fixed/cloned out. As for image resolution, overall sharpness is adequate. The narrow crop at the top is a very minor compositional issue. --Smial 11:47, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Nomination Christmas decorations on a hut at the Christmas market “Giebelhüüskesmarkt”, Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany --XRay 07:55, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion
  •  Oppose Are you sure about this candidate? there is nothing sharp here --Poco a poco 08:16, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
  • I'm sure of it ;-) In my opinion, the picture looks better with a slight blur. It is also sorted into the category Category:Intentionally blurred images. Let's discuss it a bit. --XRay 08:37, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Objects in the image not even close to sharp. Moreover, there is nothing meaningful in the image. -- Hridoy Kundu 16:35, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
  • To emphasize this once again: Sharpness is not important in the picture. The image is intentionally blurred to emphasize the structures (reindeer) more clearly and strongly. This makes the light stand out much better. --XRay 14:49, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
  • I understand what you say but I believe that doing so the image fails the QI requiments. If I take a picture with a forgotten manual focus I can always say that's intentional. This isn't what QI is about. --Poco a poco 08:27, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Of course, a blurred photo can be taken by chance. Here, however, it was actually intentional. But you're right, some photos always have a hard time with the QIC. But I also want to show that there are other ways of taking photos. --XRay 11:02, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
  •  Comment Sorry, I accept your artistic choice (thus I will not oppose), but I don't agree that the intentional blur is helpful for this picture and thus also can't support it. --Plozessor 05:42, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

 Support The intentional blur in this image adds an artistic quality, highlighting the structure and glow of the lights effectively. QI can include creative approaches and this one achieves its intended visual impact in my opinion.

  •  Oppose per others. I can't see any creative advantage over a sharp image and the light spots around it have a strange bokeh. Photos with a "wow" effect or artistic distortions do not fit the QIC criteria in my opinion. --Smial 13:00, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Tilted --A. Öztas 03:05, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Please be more specific. Where is it tilted? I think that horizontal alignment is OK here. As for the verticals, they are natural for shooting the upper part of the building from the ground. Straightening too much for the sake of verticals will distort the proportions of the picture, as we have seen many times here. --Екатерина Борисова 06:58, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
  • The building is leaning to the right, see the pillars and the asymmetry of the window for that. That does not come from shooting from the ground, but from not positioning centered in front of the subject when taking the photo. --A. Öztas 15:33, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Hmm. Maybe it sounds strange, but looking at the other pictures in the category I come to the conclusion that after the restoration, the right pillar became a little higher than the left (unfortunately, modern restoration in Saint Petersburg is not very high-quality here and there). But maybe I'm wrong. In any case, I don't think this tilt is very critical, but let's hear what others have to say --Екатерина Борисова 00:04, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Picture is borderline but IMO ok; however, description is too generic. The description says only that it's in the Russian North National Park; from categorization we know the name of the lake but that alone covers 1,130 km². Description should be more specific. --Plozessor 05:43, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
