- Neutral Hate the drums on this one, but I suppose that's a matter of taste? Kind of feels like there's one drummer (or machine) doing the double bass and fills and another one somewhere in another corner on cymbal duty. They feel detached to me, and not only in terms of how they've been mixed. --El Grafo (talk) 14:52, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

- Support Good quality video with high educational value --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:49, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Educational and valuable it is, but I find it very soporific. To be great, it needs narration, real-time captions like a silent film, or at least music, or otherwise, it should be sped up. I also like the organism that makes some quick circular motions for a few seconds. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:34, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose The video equivalent of a snapshot: a nice piece of memory for those who participated, but that's about it. Absolutely nothing special. Music is repetitive and gets quite annoying rather fast. --El Grafo (talk) 13:58, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per above, nice to illustrate the event but not an excellent video. Cmao20 (talk) 23:31, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Closing a featured media promotion request[edit]
The bot[edit]
Note that the description below is for manual closure, this is mostly not needed anymore as there exists a bot (FeaturedMediaBot) that counts the votes and handles the process below. However after the bot has counted the votes a manual review step is used to make sure the count is correct before the bot again picks up the work.
Manual procedure[edit]
Any experienced user may close requests.
- In Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate media, then [edit].
Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
(for example see Commons:Featured media candidates/File:Tverskaya Street in Moscow, Russia (May 1896).webm). See also {{FMC-results-reviewed}}.
{{FMC-results-reviewed|support=x|oppose=x|neutral=x|featured=("yes" or "no")|category=xxx (leave blank if "featured=no")|sig=~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate media template and add after the media tag
featured or not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:example.ext]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:example.ext]], featured === - Save your edit.
- If it is featured:
- Add the media to the list of the four most recently featured media of an appropriate category of Commons:Featured media, list as the first one and delete the last one, so that the number is four again.
- Also add the media to an appropriate subpage of Commons:Featured media, list. Click on the most appropriate link beneath where you just added it as one of the four media.
- Add the template {{FM_promoted|featured=1}} to the media description page.
- If it was an alternative media, use the subpage/com-nom parameter: For example, if File:Foo.webm was promoted at Commons:Featured media candidates/File:Bar.webm, use {{FM_promoted|featured=1|com-nom=Bar.webm}}
- If the media is already featured on another wikipedia, just ignore that and add the template.
- Add the media to the current month's FM log of featured media, add {{Commons:Featured media candidates/File:example.ext}} to the bottom of the list.
- Add == FM promotion ==
{{FMpromotion|File:example.ext}} to the Talk Page of the nominator AND {{FMpromotedUploader|File:example.ext}} to the talk page of uploader.
- As the last step (whether the media is featured or not; including {{FMX}}ed, {{FMD}}ed and withdrawn nominations), open Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination you've just finished closing. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured media candidates/File:example.ext}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured media candidates/Log/September 2020), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
Archiving a withdrawn nomination[edit]
- In Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate media , then [edit].
In the purpose that the FMCBot will not mark withdrawn nominations with a "to be reviewed" template and put them in Category:Featured media candidates awaiting closure review just like if they were on the usual list, put the following "no" template:
{{FMC-results-reviewed|support=X|oppose=X|neutral=X|featured=no|category=|sig=--~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate media template and add after the media tag
not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:example.ext]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:example.ext]], not featured === - Save your edit.
- Open Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured media candidates/File:example.ext}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured media candidates/Log/September 2020), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
