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.
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.
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.
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:
DeclinedVICs 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. UndecidedVICs 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.
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:
where candidate1.jpg and candidate2.jpg are the VIC subpages of 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.
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.
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 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.
How to update the status
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.
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.
Reason:
Between 1865 and 1896 the speed limit on British roads was 4 mph (6.4 km/h). In addition, a person carrying a red flag had to walk in front of the vehicle to warn people of its impending approach. The red flag used to warn people of the approach of this 1901 steam roller is typical of that era (although the steam roller itself was built 5 years after the act was repealed). -- Martinvl (talk)
Comment Please link an appropriate Commons category, rather than a Wikipedia article. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:47, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
Scope changed from Vehicle preceded by safety Red Flag to Vehicle preceded by safety Red Flag --Martinvl (talk) 10:59, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".
Support Thanks, useful. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:31, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
@Archaeodontosaurus: What do you suggest as a scope? I could change the word "Vehicle" to "Steamroller" if you would prefer that. Before making a suggestion, please take note that:
This act is covered in eleven different language versions of Wikipedia (three listed above).
Only one of those versions (German) had an image before I added my photo.
As far as I can see, there is only one other image of a red flag in Commons that could be used to illustrate any of these articles and that image is obviously posed (it was taken in about 1896). My image shows an actual action photo.
Oppose: as the "Red Flag Act" was repealed in 1896, it is incongruous to see later vehicles (the 1901 steamroller and a 2000s Transit van) in an image purporting to depict it, especially when there is another, apparently contemporaneous, image in the same category. -- DeFacto (talk). 13:04, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
Open for review. May be closed if the last vote was added no later than 21:29, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Reason:
This image is the best image in Commons depicting the Mexican flag, in particular it is in .SVG format rather that .TIFF, .PNG or .JPG format, the central emblem is in colour, not black and white and its ratio (4:7) is as per Mexican law. In addition, the detail of the emblem is well executed. -- Aurelio de Sandoval (talk)
Comment Please fix your scope. Your scope is the flag of Mexico, and the only argument that you need to believe and make is that this is the very best image of the Mexican flag on this site. Unless you've checked all the other images of the Mexican flag on this site, you can't make that argument. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:41, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
@Ikan Kekek:, please in spanish please,Also, I ask you please be specific, I don't know what you mean by: "fix your scope" If you give me an example, I would appreciate it.--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 14:32, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
@Ikan Kekek:Please, what this is the scope?, I don't understand, nor do I understand English, I have to use Google translator and sometimes the translator is not good at translating.--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 14:35, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
Your scope has to be Flag of Mexico. I don't know the Spanish word for scope, but right now, the line in question says "scope=SVG flags of Mexico". The file type is not relevant to how it looks as a thumbnail in an article. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:22, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
@Aurelio de Sandoval: The general rules about "Valued images" (imágenes valiosas) are available in both English and Spanish. By comparing the two texts, I believe that the Spanish word for "scope" is "ámbito". The rules about "scope" are in English (scope), French (domaine) and German (Beriech). Unfortunately they are not yet available in Spanish. I hope that this helps. Martinvl (talk) 11:45, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
@Martinvl:Ready, I have already placed the scopes, now can you make my image valuable?--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 14:59, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
@Aurelio de Sandoval: I have taken the liberty of writing the scope in the way in which it is expected - Note that there is only one link. Also, I have removed the item in the global list. If you click on "Global usage" you can see everywhere where it is used. Your image has been used over 500 times!
Since I have helped you, I will leave it to somebody else to judge whether or not it is a valuable image. I hope that this helps you. Martinvl (talk) 15:28, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
@Martinvl: Thank you really, I appreciate that you have helped me, the truth is I am not good at nominating images.--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 15:30, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment Now that the scope is correct, please help us choose which image of the Mexican flag is best in scope. What criteria should we use? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:47, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I have been helping @Aurelio de Sandoval: to prepare VI submissions, so I have rewritten the reason for him. (I e-mailed him to suggest that he consider me as his teacher). I would normally have removed his text, but I have left the struck-out text so that he can see what I have written. I suggest that he removed the text himself so that he can understand what has been done. Martinvl (talk) 16:25, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
@Martinvl:I have already deleted the previous description, thanks really thanks for helping me.--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk). 17:10, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
@Ikan Kekek: The other criterion they must use is that it is the most used flag in that category and that it is the most faithful reproduction of the flag and that it has an excellent resolution quality.--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk). 17:15, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment The fact that a particular image is most used is irrelevant to determining whether it's the best in scope. Resolution is not very relevant, either, as Valued Image Candidates rules require us to judge each photo at review size. So I am still confused about how we can fairly judge seemingly identical images of the flag and find one best in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:46, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Info @Ikan Kekek: I am posting on behalf of @Aurelio de Sandoval:. There are 47 images in the Category:National flag of Mexico. Of these, only 17 are in .SVG format - the preferred format for vector images. Nine are not recangular, leaving eight files. Of these eight, only three show the correct badge in the centre of the flag in colour. One of the remaining three is in a 2:3 format while the other two follow the 4:7 layout specified in Mexican legislation. The main differnece between the two is that one has a border whle the other does not. Since it is easier to add a border than to remove it, I go for the one without the border. Furthermore the descrption of the one without the border gives a full details of the relevant Mexican legislation, including Pantone data. Finally, in the event of a tie, the fineness of the detail should come into play as a tie-breaker. Again, in this instance the nominated file wins. Martinvl (talk) 16:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Best in Scope, I think, though it has competition. It's possible there might be a dust spot just above the right side of the roof. It looks that way at smaller resolution but not clearly so at full size. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:12, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I feel that the color in this photo isn't accurate. In all other photos the color of the building is silver, but this appears to be more of a white/blue color. Also see this Google Street View. Thoughts? —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 21:39, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment Your point of view is valid. I've seen this building many times, and it indeed is not blue and is more silver. However, it reflects the sky. If we reject this over the color, which one do you think is BIS? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:25, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I think I would prefer File:Beekman Tower fr BB jeh.jpg, which is the image that used to be on the English Wikipedia article. However, this image also seems fine with me and I won't oppose it right this moment. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 13:40, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I have pulled my support of this nomination. The color is more accurate, I suppose, in your alternative, but it shows less of the building. What about File:8 Spruce Street from Gold Street.jpg? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:24, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment But the other structures shown in that picture distract the viewer. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:03, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment Then how about File:Gehry 8 Spruce fr BB Pk Pier 1 jeh.jpg? I just don't like the upwards angle of the picture you suggested; I feel like it's an awkward angle and it doesn't show the shape of the building well in my opinion, if you understand what I mean. Perhaps there should be different scopes for different sides of the building? —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 20:15, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
@Kestreltail, Ikan Kekek: I took a stab at color correction and uploaded a new version. No worries if another one turns out to be the best in scope, though. — Rhododendritestalk | 20:19, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I actually find the composition of this shot to be perfect, only the color doesn't seem to quite represent the actual building. Have you considered nominating to FPC, Rhododendrites? —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 23:11, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment The color looks better to me: it has a blue tint only on the upper part of the facing side, but perhaps that's true color from reflecting the sky. What do you think, —Percival Kestreltail? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:41, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Question Should we do a most valued review? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:55, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I should say, though, even at thumbnail size, this photo is sharper and has truer color than File:Gehry 8 Spruce fr BB Pk Pier 1 jeh.jpg. I don't believe those colors at all for 10:25, 3 April. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:59, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I'm not sure anymore between that one and this one. This one has more detail, though the building is smaller within the thumbnail. And of course this composition is better. Plus the sky is probably too dark in that photo. I'll consider for another day but may reinstate my supporting vote for this nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:53, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Have you considered nominating to FPC - Thanks for suggesting. I was hoping for something FPC level when I took the shots, but I failed to get enough on the left/right. The effect is, IMO, a solid VI but without the wider perspective or better lighting I don't think it would fare well at FPC. I could be wrong (I often am), but I'm not intending to nominate. :) — Rhododendritestalk | 02:11, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I'm having trouble picking any image as best in scope. Can we please have one photo that's vertical? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:28, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Comment As I already said the geocoding must appear in the caption. The surest way to understand is to look at the captions of other candidates. For the re-enactment of images that were not retained: a new element must be emphasized.--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 17:04, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".
* Support Useful, apparently only image in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:49, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
It's not the best in scope anyway. For example this one is much higher quality. Hence, I keep my Oppose vote. --Palauenc05 (talk) 15:34, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Oppose I got those two photos mixed up. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:56, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Info@Archaeodontosaurus: The relevant image is geocoded - the geocoding is contained in the box attached to the label marker "collection". Martinvl (talk) 17:18, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Info@Aurelio de Sandoval: I agree with User:Ikan Kekek that this is not the best image in Commons. If you look at the image that he suggested, you will see that it is a superior photograph of the same painting. I suggest that you withdraw this nomination and if you think it worthwhile, submit the alternative image as a VI candidate. Martinvl (talk) 17:18, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Reason:
Emiliano Zapata was one of the people who fought in Mexico against the dictatorship to give the Mexicans the lands that belonged to them and this is one of the most iconic images that are remembered of him. -- Aurelio de Sandoval (talk)
Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".
Comment Nobody was interested enough in the previous nomination to support it. Renominating the image without any additional information is unlikely to change that, and indeed may be counter-productive. I have removed {{Institution}} as it's not part of the scope. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:24, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
@Rodhullandemu:Ready, I have already placed the scopes, now can you make my image valuable?--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 15:19, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I have no opinion either way on the merits of the image. Rodhullandemu (talk) 15:32, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I think the scope you really want is José María Morelos, portrait. That said, there are several portraits in scope, and I really have no idea which one is best. How are you determining which one you think is best? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:52, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
@Ikan Kekek:It is determined because this is the only image signed by José María Morelos and if you think very well it must be valuable to have an image signed by one of the most important heroes of the Independence of Mexico.--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk). 14:02, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment Then make your scope "José María Morelos, signed portrait". Don't use parentheses on any part of the scope - you need all of it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:58, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Info @Archaeodontosaurus: The geocoding of the art gellery where the painting is located is coded in the expandable box marked "Collection" in the image description. Martinvl (talk) 17:28, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Question @Archaeodontosaurus: I notice that the Featured Picture for today (21 September) and this VI submission are both taken from artworks that are hung in public galleries and both follow the same format for geocoding. Surely, if the format is acceptable for a Featured Picture that shows a piece of artwork, then it should be acceptable for a VI that shows a piece of artwork. Martinvl (talk) 20:40, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment BIS, but we rarely use any name other than 6th Avenue, so I would suggest renaming the scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment I am aware that New Yorkers call it 6th Avenue, but I did a quick Google search of "1285 6th Avenue" and most of the results were still 1285 Avenue of the Americas. Most building databases list this as 1285 Avenue of the Americas. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 13:01, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Best in Scope. One could make an argument for File:432ParkNov2017.jpg, but that doesn't show how exceedingly annoyingly this building dominates the skyline, and File:432 Park Avenue, NY (cropped).jpg, though nice, doesn't show as much of the building as this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:00, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

It looks like a structure tensioning device to help stabilize the mill when the windmill rotor blades are turning but perhaps it has another purpose.

She is essentially a beauty pageant titleholder and not an actress at all. Since 2010 she just has tried to launch an actress career. There are thousands of girls like her. It seems that we have to place all of them in one group together with Sophia Loren, Gérard Philipe, Michel Piccoli, Jeremy Irons, Robert De Niro, Charles Chaplin, Claude Monet... Shame on all of us... We do nothing here. Alas, we have no choice since we work under the dictate of the crowd.

Comment but you can't even see her face properly cause she is not looking at the camera, the crop is unfortunate cause the top of her head is missing,the blur is excessive with parts of her hair and right shoulder being blured. Just wanna know why you think this is better so atleast I can be clear about the criteria for a picture being VI.Boseritwik (talk) 15:25, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
Support I still support this one as best in scope and meeting all criteria. Certainly the edges of her hair and right shoulder are blurred, but her face is in focus at a high resolution. Also important to the present comparison, in the other image her forehead, chin, and cheeks are washed out by the flash/glare. cmadler (talk) 13:29, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Support - The other one has higher resolution, but we're supposed to judge the photos at review size, and in review size, this photo is much bigger. I also prefer the background, but that could be because I have sore eyes tonight. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:54, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Open for review. May be closed if the last vote was added no later than 21:29, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Reason:
Compared to the current VI, I think this photo represents the scope better, because it has a higher resolution. And IMO, the subject facing the camera is more valuable. -- pandakekok9
Comment I get a failure message about the image file containing errors if I try to open the full-resolution image in Firefox. --Bobulous (talk) 18:41, 7 April 2020 (UTC) Comment Ignore my last comment; a machine reboot and a forced page refresh caused it to finally load the image without error. Must have been a bad download followed by a stubborn local cache. --Bobulous (

Support higher resolution & facing the camera --Arne (talk) 22:16, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
Oppose per my remarks on the other one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:55, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Comment a crop of this one to exclude some of her body would split the difference and be best, imo. Buidhe (talk) 17:34, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
Reason:
UK Prime Minister. Best image, much better quality than her official portrait. Studio shot, so not geocoded. Used on many projects. -- Yann (talk)
Support Pose is less interesting, but I think the animal is better shown than on the previously nominated picture. --Eusebius (talk) 17:01, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
All open candidates in an MVR have to have their status set as "discussed" while the review is ongoing. Only when all candidates are due for closure can the MVR be closed.
