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]

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. (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 November 2023.
  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 November 2023.
  • 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 November 22 2023 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".

  •  Oppose per Ermell, far from QI in the original resolution.--Milseburg 10:10, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Looks pretty good at 30%, but not a QI at 50% per Ermell, which I think is a very fair basis for judgment (full resolution is huge). -- Ikan Kekek 21:03, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 Question What is the consensus here? In other discussions it was something like "it must be ok for an A4 size print [which is roughly 3 to 4 MP]", you say must be good "at 50 % of the full resolution" ... so a 4 MP picture is QI if it is ok at 50 %, while a 40 MP picture is not QI if it is ok at 30 %? --Plozessor 16:35, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
  • I don't think there is a complete consensus; CR wouldn't be needed if there was. I think borderline images have to be judged individually, and it's not an exact science, so some reviewers might support and others won't. We'll just have to muddle through and see the results on each image.--Peulle 08:18, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

    Large parts of this are not very sharp, it's slightly tilted, and the mountains in the background are looking unnaturally blue. --Plozessor 04:58, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
    I tried something but I'm not sure I can fix the sharpness of the right part of the picture. Let me know. - Espandero 17:51, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
     Oppose Sorry but I think we can't make this a QI, it is too blurry and also the colors are not natural. --Plozessor 13:44, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
    Plozessor: which of the colours? The mountains in the background are really far away so to me it's normal that they're not as colorful as the rest. For the blurry parts I guess if I make the file as big as a normal picture (so not a panorama but more like this file) the quality should be sufficient enough to make it QI. I tried uploading a new version and I'd be grateful if you could check it out. Thanks, Espandero 20:26, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
    Sharpness still doesn't look good in full resolution, but reduced to 4 MP it's halfway acceptable. However, the mountains in the background are still blue (#96b9f1) - unless those are special mountains full of blue trees, this is unnatural because usually there are trees and trees and mostly green, not blue. Also, the picture is still a bit tilted (you see that the buildings are tilted outwards). --Plozessor 05:31, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
     Info Reset to "/Decline". Please change to "/Discuss" if you wish to challenge the opposing vote, not to "/Nomination". --Robert Flogaus-Faust 18:04, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
    Plozessor I can work on the tilt but the background is what it is. I'm not going to colour it green because it would be artificial. The default value (without any Lightroom setting) is #78A3D7. The hill is about 19 km away from the point of view. Given that it was not a perfect sunny day it feels normal to me to not have perfect colours on objects far away. This is a feature I'm used to in my pictures and I don't see any way of cleaning up. I'm seeing similar things on files you made (1) so it seems it's not a problem from my camera or settings. I would rather suggest it's because of dust in the air and atmospheric conditions in general. Thank you for your time anyway. - Espandero 14:55, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

  •  Oppose I don't understand this increasing trend towards exaggerated photo "improvements". The first image version was completely ok. Why did it have to be more colourful, more effective, more gaudy? What does this have to do with encyclopaedic photography? Of course, everyone here is free to make their photos look as pretty as they want according to the actual or perceived taste of the public, but I don't want to support that. This also applies to many smart phone photos. --Smial 10:01, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

  •  Weak oppose Sharpness is just about acceptable, but it is too dark overall. Should not be hard to increase exposure or brighten the shadows in raw conversion or processing. --Plozessor 05:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
  •  Comment Another version, ✓ Done increase brightness --Michielverbeek 07:57, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

     Oppose Image lacks depth. Would look better if taken from a higher angle. --Jay.Jarosz 15:49, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
     Support Ok to me. --Sebring12Hrs 19:08, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
    weak  Support Picture is halfway ok, but I can't imagine that you can't get better quality with a Sigma dp1 quattro. Looks like you just took the JPG from the camera instead of manually converting the raw file (which would give you options to brighten the shadows etc.). --Plozessor 13:36, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Hi Plozessor, thank you for your review. I'm not sure I understand your comment (in fact, the image is developed from the raw file). I've softened the shadows a bit, if that's what you mean.--Velvet 17:29, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Not sure if we're talking past each other. The picture (both the new and the old version) have dark areas that are pitch black. The raw file should have enough information to restore some details for these areas; in Adobe products this would be done by increasing "Shadows". --Plozessor 18:06, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Actually the new version is better, probably my browser loaded old version from cache. Sorry! --Plozessor 07:20, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

  • Nomination Bronze casting at Kunstgießerei München → cropped (by Kritzolina) -- Radomianin 09:25, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Discussion
  • The uncropped image is already QI. --XRay 09:27, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
  •  Comment Many thanks for your comment, that is correct. But additionally, the cropped version has been significantly improved in terms of noise and sharpening. Best, -- Radomianin 10:23, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
  • I do see the possibility and also the necessity of nominating images developed in different ways separately (for example, a color and a black and white image of the same shot), but I find it very difficult to do so for a cropped photo. Even if there are additional improvements, it is not an independent development for me. I would expect better noise reduction at the source. --XRay 11:21, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Thank you very much for your insightful perspectives. Best regards, -- Radomianin 11:35, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
  • I prefer to send the nomination to the discussion. A vote is required, but IMO in this case it hopefully should be allowed to send it to discussion without vote. --XRay 12:25, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Thank you for this constructive suggestion; it is certainly a good idea. Best, -- Radomianin 12:50, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

  •  Support I'll review the photo independently of the original. --XRay 06:25, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
  •  Weak support No issue with the different versions. As with all shots from this series, they are of borderline quality, but this one seems sharp and detailed enough at 3 MP so supporting it. --Plozessor 10:41, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Really? Two almost identical images should not have separate QI-status. --Kallerna 20:35, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Different developments of the same image should not both be QIs. The original is already a QI, so this shouldn't be. If the original had a problem that prevented it from being promoted, and this image fixed that problem, this could have been promoted while the original was not. --Peulle 10:51, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

  •  Support. We shouldn't dismiss a photo as unusable because it was taken with a smartphone. -- Spurzem 22:01, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
*  Comment I don't want to dismiss it "because it was taken with a smartphone". I want to dismiss it because it has poor quality. (And it has poor quality because it was taken with a smartphone, though there are also some smartphone pictures with acceptable quality.) --Plozessor 06:18, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
*  Comment @User:Spurzem: Please do not exaggerate. If an image does not get promoted to QI, this does not mean that it is unusable. E.g., not even a single one among the top ten of my most heavily used photographs is a QI. At least one of them has less than 2 MP and #11 was recently denied QI status because someone found that it is not sharp enough in their opinion, whereas #12 is a QI. On the other hand, lots of quality images are not used outside Commons. And a QI of a frequently photographed subject or a wonderful closeup image may be much less usable than a rather average photo of a subject for which there are hardly any images on Commons or which illustrates a subject very well. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 10:20, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
