WikiFur:Featured picture candidates
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article. Taking the common saying that "a picture is worth a thousand words," the images featured on WikiFur:Featured pictures should illustrate a WikiFur article in such a way as to add significantly to that article, according to the featured picture criteria.
If you believe an image should be featured, please add it below to the current nominations section. Conversely, if you believe that an image should be unfeatured, add it to the nomination for delisting section. For listing, if an image is listed here for seven days with four or more supporting votes (including the nominator if it was not a self-nomination), and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the WikiFur:Featured pictures list for rotation. If necessary, decisions about close votes will be made on a case-by-case basis.

[edit] Nomination procedure
The nomination procedure on WikiFur:Featured picture candidates/Nomination Procedure will not be used until WikiFur requires it. Instead, images will be listed below. If a general consensus is met that the image is good enough, the image will be featured. If no consensus is met, the candidate will be removed from the list.
See also: Archived discussion for promoted candidates and failed candidates.
[edit] Supporting and opposing
- If you approve of a picture, write Support followed by your reasons.
- If you oppose a nomination, write Oppose followed by your reasons. Where possible, objections should provide a specific rationale that can be addressed.
- To change your vote, strike it out (with <del>...</del>) rather than removing it.
Votes added early in the process may be disregarded if they do not give any reasons for the opposition. This is especially true if the image is altered during the process. Editors are advised to monitor the progress of a nomination and update their votes accordingly.
Please remember to be civil, not to bite the newbies and to comment on the image, not the person.
[edit] Editing candidates
If you feel you could improve a candidate by image editing, please feel free to do so, but do not overwrite or remove the original. Instead, upload your edit with a different file name (e.g. add "edit" to the file name), and display it below the original nomination. Edits should be appropriately captioned in sequential order (eg, Edit 1, Edit 2, etc) and describe the modifications that have been applied.

[edit] Abraham at Anthrocon 2009
- Nominate and support. --GreenReaper(talk) 05:11, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Neutral It's technically excellent, but it just seems uninteresting. --Rat 05:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Weak Support After seeing this fursuit up close at MFF. I am vouching for support. No Blur in this at all, only a few hot pixels that are not noticeable at low resolutions. The only thing keeping me from full supporting it is that it is just another fursuit photo per Rat, The flag does make it a little more interesting as AC had the flags in the parade this year and I heard so much about it.
