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]
Proposed wording changes to specifically exclude AI generate media from being eligable for QI see discussion

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 unless the photographer is a Commons user. (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 June 2024.
  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 June 2024.
  • 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 June 24 2024 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".



File:Oriental_pratincole.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Oriental Pratincole (Glareola maldivarum) wisting and turning on long, angular wings, this relative of the sandpipers and plovers gives a swallowlike impression in flight. Adults are brown overall with an elegant black necklace and pale yellow throat. This bird was photographed at Bhigwan, Maharashtra, India. By User:Shiv's fotografia --Satdeep Gill 12:31, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion Good quality. --El Golli Mohamed 13:55, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
     Oppose Lacks detail and looks like it was hit with a smoothing filter, the heads of the chicks look distorted by this effect. ReneeWrites 15:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

File:Common_Snipe_facts.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Common Snipe (Gallinago gallinago) Squat, cryptically-plumaged shorebird with a very long bill. Inhabits a wide range of wetland habitats, from damp meadows to saltmarshes. Mostly inconspicuous, feeding in muddy ground by probing with its bill, usually near reeds or other grassy cover. Often not seen until flushed, when it usually rises from fairly close range with a rough rasping call. This Bird was photographed at Gujarat, India. By User:Shiv's fotografia --Satdeep Gill 12:31, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion Good quality. --El Golli Mohamed 13:55, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
     Oppose Inconsistent quality. The background looks blurred, but then there's a patch left of the tail that appears a lot more detailed. On the back there's feathers that partway through lose their texture and turn completely smooth. ReneeWrites 15:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

File:Candela_Seven,_Interboot_2020,_Friedrichshafen_(IB200010).jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Candela Seven (foils retracted) at Interboot 2020, Friedrichshafen --MB-one 20:11, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion  Oppose Rear of the boat is cut. --Sebring12Hrs 19:58, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
    IMO the aft of the boat isn't necessary here. The main subject are the foils, which are dead center. I could rework the description if that helps. --MB-one 09:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Support Good quality, showing one aspect of a boat. --Tagooty 10:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

  •  Support Good quality. --Kritzolina 08:12, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Casual composition. --Moroder 18:11, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Question What do you mean with that? QI composition guidelines mention "Unbalanced composition", "Unclear subject", "Non-existent subject", "Too tight crop" and "Too busy" as composition failure, none of which I see here. Thus * * *  Support from me. --Plozessor 16:04, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Support Good quality -- Spurzem 12:00, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
  • preliminary  Oppose I suspect that the rod to which the exhibit is attached is probably vertical. The cut at the top and bottom is very unfavourable. Both should be changed, until then I agree with Moroder about the composition. It should be noted in the image description that this is a detail of a group of bronzes. "Third from top" or "centre section", if applicable, or something like that. --Smial 19:15, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

  •  Support Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! Good quality. --ReneeWrites 14:03, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I disagree. Regarding the camera used image height in very low for a panorama and the quality is not good enough for QI. --Milseburg 11:36, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Low height, low contrast,  Level of detail too low --Plozessor 16:06, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per others. This looks both oversharpened and lacking in detail, presumably due to excessive noise reduction. The narrower image edge of a panorama should have at least 2000 pixels. --Smial 19:26, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

  •  Info This should be switched to consensual review. --Augustgeyler 14:25, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

  •  Comment This image is QI quality but per COM:QIC Image Page Requirements (3), needs better documentation if you want it to have long term utility in Commons going forward. Categorization for birds should be down to the sub-species level if known. Is it a male Ploceus philippinus philippinus? If so, the image description needs to reflect that along with the nesting material behavior. Approximate location description and GPS coordinates would also be useful. --GRDN711 12:36, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Info This should be switched to consensual review. --Augustgeyler 14:25, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Support The image's been properly categorized now. No location data is known apparently, but that's not a hard QI requirement. ReneeWrites 17:57, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The purpose of the image is to illustrate a bird species + typical behavior trait for long term encyclopedia use. To that end, location is important. Many of the species/sub-species are defined and identified by geographic location as one delimiter. IMHO approximate location description and GPS coordinates would be best, but will accept a good description of the location if approximate GPS coordinates are not known. --GRDN711 01:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

  • I see your notes, great thanks for the work done. But it seems to me that QI project is not about these millimeters of deviations from verticals. I don't mean just this photo, but also many others that are commented on in a similar way. Of course visible and disturbing distortions should be corrected but not those that do not affect the overall impression. It's just my opinion and I won't argue if you decline my photo. Thanks again for your attention. --Екатерина Борисова 02:09, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
  • I am with you regarding that only "visible and disturbing distortions should be corrected", however, in that case, it IS clearly 'visible and disturbing' for me.

  • First you object by marking red, then after my denial it goes back blue, and now? Can I ask for it to be transferred to consensual review?I would like to point out that I have photos taken with my phone that have been promoted as showcase photos, so the fact that it was taken with a smartphone means nothing, it is not mandatory to have a reflex camera. I also point out that I don't shoot with a reflex because for my health I can't carry heavy things with me and for this reason I shoot with my smartphone. --Anna.Massini 08:23, 20 June 2024(UTC)

  • You can take "beautiful photos even with a smartphone" in bright sunlight, but usually not under darker conditions like in this case. The sensor noise is just too high and the smartphone must apply massive processing to make it look halfway acceptable, but in full resolution it really doesn't look good (thus  Oppose from me). On a side note, I have the same issue as you that I'm not willing to "carry heavy things with me", thus I got a Ricoh GR III which fits into my pants pocket but still takes gorgeous pictures with its APS-C sensor. --Plozessor 08:08, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

  •  Comment I don't know what the problem is with the place. The fence? The image shows a vehicle, which has to be prepared for delivery. Therefore I think the tarpaulin is not a valid reason for declining the image here at QI (it's not VI).--Alexander-93 13:20, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Support Picture is ok. The label in the windshield and the tarpaulin are not photographic defects. --Plozessor 13:36, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello Plozessor, I don't understand what you mean by a quality image. Is it just about the photo being sharp and the vertical lines being vertical? For me, there's more to a good image than that. Best regards -- Spurzem 19:17, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
By a "quality image" I mean an image that meets the Commons image guidelines. Of course, some of the criteria (like composition) is quite subjective. From my point of view, this image would meets all of the criteria and could be used to illustrate an article. --Plozessor 05:27, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
