Skip to set nominations

These are the candidates to become valued images. Please note that this is not the same as featured pictures or quality images. If you simply want some feedback on your pictures you can get that at photography critiques.

Single images can be proposed for valued image (VI) status. Candidates must be proposed as being the most valuable of all Commons' images within a specified scope. Judging is carried out according to the valued image criteria.

A Most Valued Review (MVR) is opened where there are two or more candidates competing within essentially the same scope.

The rules for promotion can be found at Commons:Valued image candidates/Promotion rules.

An image which has previously been declined can be renominated within the same scope only if the issues leading to the original decline have been addressed. Previously nominated images that were closed as "undecided" can be renominated at any time. Once a candidate achieves VI or VIS status it can normally be demoted only if some better candidate replaces it during an MVR.

If you would like to nominate an image for VI status, please do so following the instructions below. If you are proposing a better candidate within essentially the same scope as an image which already has VI status, please open an MVR.

How to nominate an image for VI status

Nominations will be evaluated using the criteria listed at Commons:Valued image criteria. Please read those criteria before submitting an image to help cut down on the number of candidates that have a low chance of success. Make sure you understand the concept of scope and how to choose the correct scope for your nomination.

Please make sure that your proposed image fulfills all of the necessary criteria before nominating it. For example, if it needs to be geocoded, do that in advance. If no appropriate categories exist, create and link them beforehand. Although some reviewers may help by fixing minor issues during the review process, it is your responsibility as nominator to ensure your image ticks all the necessary boxes before you propose it. If you nominate an image that ignores one of the criteria, don't be surprised if it fails VI review.

Adding a new nomination (image)

Step 1: Copy the image name into this box (excluding the File: prefix), at the end of the text already present in the box, for example, Commons:Valued image candidates/My-image-filename.jpg. Then click on the "Create new nomination" button.

Step 2: Follow the instructions on the page that you are taken to, and save the resulting VIC subpage.

Step 3: Manually add the candidate image towards the end of Commons:Valued image candidates/candidate list (under the heading "New valued image nominations"), as the last parameter in the VICs template. Click here, and append the following line as the last parameter of the relevant section:

|My-image-filename.jpg

so that it looks like this:

{{VICs
 ...
 |My-image-filename.jpg
}}

and save the candidate list.

Renomination

Declined VICs can be renominated by any registered user, but only after one or more of the root cause(s) leading to a decline has/have been addressed. Undecided VICs can be renominated as is although it is still recommended to consider and fix issue(s) which may have hindered a promotion of the candidate in the previous review.

Besides fixing issues with the previous nomination the following procedure shall be followed upon renomination.

Step 1: Edit the candidate subpage you intend to renominate. All declined and undecided VICs are placed in either Category:Declined valued image candidates, or Category:Undecided valued image candidates and sorted by the date of the previous nomination.

Step 2: Replace the previous nomination date and time by pasting in

|date={{subst:VI-time}}

Step 3: Replace the "undecided" or "declined" status with "nominated" (or "discussed" if you intend to add it to a Most Valued Review).

Step 4: If the previous nominator was a different user replace the nominator parameter with

|nominator=~~~

Step 5: If the candidate does not already have an archive link to previous reviews: Create one using the following procedure.

Cut the text in the previous review section (leave the closing braces "}}")
replace the review parameter with

|review=
{{subst:VIC-archive}}
}}

Save the page.
There is now a red link to Previous reviews. Click the link to create the archive subpage and paste in the previous reviews.
Save the previous reviews archive page

Step 6: Add the candidate to the candidates list.

How to open a Most Valued Review

There must be at least two candidates competing within essentially the same scope to open an MVR. Each needs its own VIC subpage, which should be created as above if it does not already exist, but with status set to "discussed". Then, add the following section at the end of the page Commons:Valued image candidates/Most valued review candidate list:

=== Scope ===
{{VICs
  |candidate1.jpg
  |candidate2.jpg
}}

where Scope is the scope of both images, and candidate1.jpg and candidate2.jpg are the respective candidates. If need be, also remove the relevant image(s) from the list in Pending valued image candidates

If one of the candidates is an existing VI within essentially the same scope, the original VIC subpage is re-opened for voting by changing its status to status=discussed and new reviews are appended to the original VIC subpage. However, any original votes are not counted within the MVR.

The status parameter of each candidate should remain set to "discussed" while the MVR is ongoing.

How to review the candidates

How to review an image

Any registered user can review the valued image candidates. Comments are welcome from everyone, but neither the nominator nor the original image author may vote (that does not exclude voting from users who have edited the image with a view to improving it).

Nominations should be evaluated using the criteria listed at Commons:Valued image criteria. Please read those and the page on scope carefully before reviewing. Reviewing here is a serious business, and a reviewer who just breezes by to say "I like it!" is not adding anything of value. You need to spend the time to check the nomination against every one of the six VI criteria, and you also need to carry out searches to satisfy yourself on the "most valuable" criterion.

Review procedure

On the review page the image is presented in the review size. You are welcome to view the image in full resolution by following the image links, but bear in mind that it is the appearance of the image at review size which matters.
Check the candidate carefully against each of the six VI criteria. The criteria are mandatory, and to succeed the candidate has to satisfy all six.
Use the where used field, if provided, to study the current usage of the candidate in Wikimedia projects. If you find usage of interest do add relevant links to the nomination.
Look for other images of the same kind of subject by following the links to relevant categories in the image page, and to any Commons galleries.
- If you find another image which is already a VI within essentially the same scope, the candidate and the existing VI should be moved to Most Valued Review (MVR) to determine which one is the more valued.
- If you find one or more other images which in your opinion are equally or more valued images within essentially the same scope, you should nominate these images as well and move all the candidates to an MVR.
Once you have made up your mind, edit the review page and add your vote or comment to the review parameter as follows:

You type	You get	When
`*{{Comment}} My Comment. -- ~~~~`	Comment My comment. -- Example	You have a comment.
`*{{Info}} My information. -- ~~~~`	Info My information. -- Example	You have information.
`*{{Neutral}} Reason for neutral vote. -- ~~~~`	Neutral Reason for neutral vote. -- Example	You are uncertain or wish to record a neutral vote.
`*{{Oppose}} Reason for opposing vote. -- ~~~~`	Oppose Reason for opposing vote. -- Example	You think that the candidate fails one or more of the six mandatory criteria.
`*{{Question}} My question. -- ~~~~`	Question My question. -- Example	You have a question.
`*{{Support}} Reason for supporting. -- ~~~~`	Support Reason for supporting. -- Example	You think that the candidate meets all of the six mandatory criteria.

If the nomination fails one of the six criteria, but in a way that can be fixed, you can optionally let the nominator know what needs to be done using the {{VIF}} template.

Your comment goes immediately before the final closing braces "}}" on the page.

Finally, change the status of the nomination if appropriate:
- status=nominated When no votes or only neutral votes have been added to the review field (blue image border).
- status=supported When there is at least one {{Support}} vote but no {{Oppose}} votes (light green image border).
- status=opposed When there is at least one {{Oppose}} vote but no {{Support}} votes (red image border).
- status=discussed When there is at least one {{Oppose}} vote and one {{Support}} vote (yellow image border).

Remember the criteria: 1. Most valuable 2. Suitable scope 3. Illustrates well 4. Fully described 5. Geocoded 6. Well categorized.

Changes in scope during the review period

The nominator is allowed to make changes in scope as the review proceeds, for example in response to reviewer votes or comments. Whenever a scope is changed the nominator should post a signed comment at the bottom of the review area using {{VIC-scope-change|old scope|new scope|--~~~~}}, and should also leave a note on the talk page of all existing voters asking them to reconsider their vote. A support vote made before the change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn.

You can submit new nominations starting on COM:VIC.

Nominated by: Giles Laurent (talk) on 2026-02-27 21:53 (UTC)
Scope: Pyrocephalus rubinus (Scarlet flycatcher), male, full ventral view
Oppose Already, there are 2 VIs of the male of the species: one and two. The view of the front in the nom is practically the same as in the one of the existing VIs. --Tagooty (talk) 09:46, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply] This one is a different perspective with a full frontal view of the chest feathers. It allows to see how the bird is completely red when viewed from the front. There are VIs for every angle of a church (north, east, west, south, north-east, north west, south-east and south-west view) as there are for birds VIs for lateral, ventral and rear view as they showcase different feathers of the bird that are valuable informations -- Giles Laurent (talk) 10:52, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply] Support It is worthwhile to look at the ventral side; a simple distinguishing feature (a few white feathers) may indicate another species or subspecies or even a different sex. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 14:54, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply] Comment Having a ventral VI is fine in general. In this particular case, there are already 2 VIs of male of the species. One of these shows about 75% of the breadth and 100% of the length of the ventral view. As birds have lateral symmetry, the 75% of the breadth gives complete information about the ventral view. One solution that I would support is to change the scope of File:095 Scarlet Flycatcher in Encontro das Águas State Park Photo by Giles Laurent.jpg to include the ventral view. This will also resolve the problem of 2 VIs for the same scope. For a simple church with lateral symmetry, I would oppose 8 VIs -- two or three would suffice. For a complex church such as the Basilica di San Francesco (Assisi), there could be more than 8 VI scopes. --Tagooty (talk) 15:37, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply] I'm sorry but the other image is not a full ventral view. It is only on a full ventral view that you have a 100% red view of the chest and it is a valuable perspective of the bird -- Giles Laurent (talk) 15:42, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Scope: Cariama cristata (Red-legged seriema), ventral view
Support Useful and used --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 07:05, 4 March 2026 (UTC)[reply] Oppose The nom image shows more of the side and upper dorsal view, only a part of the ventral view. This is a better image of the ventral view. There is already a VI showing the side and upper view. --Tagooty (talk) 08:58, 4 March 2026 (UTC)[reply] @Tagooty, the first image you linked is of very low quality (very blurry) and extremely bad point of view hiding the eyes. The present image is of much much higher quality (six times more pixels!!) and of infinitely better point of view perfectly showing the eyes of the bird. The other image you linked is a side view that shows 0 ventral feathers and is therefore of a completely different scope. Moreover it has a very bad background contrast with the subject. Therefore there is no doubt to me that the present image is the best in scope and I sincerely hope that you will change your mind -- Giles Laurent (talk) 09:28, 4 March 2026 (UTC)[reply] My main concern is that the nom image is largely not a ventral view and hence does not qualify for the scope. In the discussion of the Scarlet flycatcher ventral view, you had opined that the VIC for ventral view must have 100% view of the chest -- the nom image shows much less than 100%. Note that for VI, the image has only to look good at review size, it need not be high quality. IMO we can wait for a better ventral image to be uploaded. --Tagooty (talk) 03:37, 5 March 2026 (UTC)[reply] @Tagooty, I never said that a ventral view could only be a 100% frontal view of the chest (which would rarely be the case because you're most of the time at like 80%, 90% for example). If you look correctly I said that the Scarlet flycatcher picture was a full ventral view, which clearly indicates that there can be ventral views that are full frontal and others that are not. I also said that for the Scarlet flycatcher a full ventral view was a very valuable view because it is only in that configuration that you have a full bright red chest. Male scarlet flycatchers are brilliantly red primarily to attract mates, serving as a sexual signal of health and vitality. The bright, conspicuous color helps males defend their breeding territory against rivals. Also, while males are bright red, females and young birds have subdued colors, providing necessary camouflage while nesting. So this bright red color really plays a role for that species and having a full frontal view of the red chest is very valuable. As for the Red-legged seriema, there's no particular role for a full ventral view. Finally I'd like to point out that you are opposing the Scarlet flycatcher saying that it doesn't need full ventral view while also opposing this present picture by saying that it needs full ventral view. This looks like bad faith to use contradictory reasons between your two opposes and could seem like you're just each time trying to find a reason to oppose even if it requires to contradict yourself. I honestly hope that this is just a misunderstanding and that you'll reconsider your votes on both pictures. Thank you for your understanding. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 08:38, 5 March 2026 (UTC)[reply] Thanks for the clarification on what you wrote. I have not opposed this nom because it needs a full ventral view - my precise statements are "shows ... only a part of the ventral view" and "is largely not a ventral view". I believe my subjective reviews are consistent. They are certainly made in good faith. I have high regard for your photographic skills and images. My apologies for any misunderstanding I may have unintentionally caused. --Tagooty (talk) 03:35, 6 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Scope: Veraison of olives, before harvest
Reason: It is the very moment to harvest olives for oil in Greece, when the fruit are just half red and half green. Best in scope IMO -- Jebulon (talk)
Support Regardless of the language, "veraison" is not an easy word to use in conversation. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 11:45, 11 March 2026 (UTC) oh yes it is, when you are in an olive-trees orchard in Greece at the end of october --Jebulon (talk) 21:02, 11 March 2026 (UTC)[reply] Oppose The concept of veraison as the optimum state of maturation for pressing, is also applied to grapes for wine making. I see no reason that veraison should be any different for olives in Greece versus olives in Italy, Spain, Morroco or Tunisia. Suggest the scope be less narrow and simpler, without the addition of country, such as "Veraison of olives". Be aware that with that more generic scope, this image also illustrates that scope well. You may have to come up with a variation. --GRDN711 (talk) 18:11, 11 March 2026 (UTC)[reply] "in Greece", because they are my olives, in my garden, and they are in Greece ! ;) Ok, I've changed the scope.
