Skip to nominations

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 October 2025.
  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 October 2025.
  • 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 October 11 2025 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".

    Sorry guys, this reviews are not fine. It's a wild shot taken with a 600mm lens, I still applied more sharpness, QI to me if I know what this is about --Poco a poco 22:30, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
    But the fact about hardness of photoshooting is unrelated to sharpness, in my opinion you also often nominate pictures that are unsharp - I stopped to comment because of your reaction. This photo has problems with the colors of the neck now. Lvova 08:14, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
    I’ll add this right away. These pages often mention that there are conditions in which QI cannot be achieved - for example, specific museum conditions or photos of buildings on very narrow streets. This is just a given, which doesn’t mean the photos are bad or useless; they simply don’t fit the QI criteria. But for some reason, you think that outside the rules, we should make an exception for wildlife shots taken with a telephoto lens; traditionally, this often works, especially since you can reference the fact that many of your images have been accepted under this approach.
    Additionally, you refer to the equipment of the people evaluating your work. Indeed, my camera has far more technical limitations than yours; there are situations where it’s pointless for me to shoot even for illustrative purposes, without aiming for QI. However, I’m getting better at understanding these conditions and limitations and achieving results without trying to say, "Come on, look at how tough the conditions were for a phone camera". Your equipment has fewer limitations, but there are still some. Don’t rely on authority instead of simply accepting its limitations. Lvova 09:21, 11 October 2025 (UTC)

  •  Support Not ideal, but good. --Lvova 19:34, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Oppose As I am currently experimenting with focus stacking myself, I know how difficult it is to create good images with this technique. But if the stacking doesn't work 100%, the image won't be good and, in my opinion, it won't be good enough for QI. The transitions from sharp to blurred areas were also not done cleanly in post-processing.
    Your used camera can do focus bracketing by firmware, but I don't know how many images are possible and at what focal steps. IMO, at least 12-15 individual images are necessary for such a subject in order to get at least the front area of the subject absolutely sharp. But what is definitely not enough is aperture 8 for macro photography, especially not with a focal length of 105 mm. Actually I'm working with a 60 mm macro lens and even with this focal length, if you don't want to work deliberately with targeted blurring, you need at least f/13 to get enough DoF (hint: use a DoF calculator). An insect or a spider like this is always spectacular in close-up, of course, but it really has to be flawless. This picture here is not, I'm sorry. --Syntaxys 03:45, 11 October 2025 (UTC)

After all, the aperture is f/7.1, which provides sufficient sharpness. With a significantly larger aperture (f/2, for example), there would be even less sharpness, but the overall sharpness would also decrease significantly. (We remember the critical aperture.

Also, you use /discussions instead of /comments and put comments in CR in a little bit random place. Everything is fixable, but can be better if to be a little bit more attentive to what others do. Lvova 14:40, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
    @Harmonide: Usually, when we see a problem in someone's photo, we write the author a comment asking to work on the problem, and we wait for the author to respond. If the author has fixed the problem, the reviewer can promote the photo (or write another comment). But until the author of the photo responds to the reviewer, you should not promote his photo. In addition, you should not support photos that have already been promoted, it makes no practical sense. -- Екатерина Борисова 23:13, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

  • Nomination The Harvey House, also known as the "Coin" Harvey House, is a historic home located at Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia. It was built in 1874 and is a two-story dwelling reminiscent of houses in New Orleans. It features stained glass windows, a cast-iron mantel, and a beamed ceiling in the dining room. It is most notable as the home of William Hope "Coin" Harvey (1851 – 1936).I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license: --Fdy3k 20:38, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Sorry. I'm sorry, but I can't tell what the anomaly is at the top edge of the building or on the bird's head there (posterisation?). The top part has too much noise, enough to make the detail somewhat poor. The perspective needs to be corrected. Green CAs are clearly visible in the lower area, especially at the edge with the floor tiles from outside the property. --Lmbuga 00:13, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

  •  Comment @Smial: @Jakubhal: @Uoaei1: @XRay: @Plozessor: Reading through the seven QI evaluation guidelines above, some list requirements for documentation; others about aspects of technical quality and then there is the final 7th.
“Value
Our main goal is to encourage quality images being contributed to Wikicommons, valuable for Wikimedia and other projects.”
When I look at this image, I see a pile of (?) on a beach in front of a palid sunset. I personally think the pile is bull kelp (nereocystis luetkeana) but it is not identified as such. The beach could be anywhere (no distinction), as is the pale sunset.
Some of the QI quality attributes have characteristics that can be accurately described, But when it comes to the QI guidelines, none are measured. There is an element of subjectivity in every evaluation that works out in the consensus judgment of the reviewers.
Guideline 7 on QI Value affirms that on achieveing a QI rating, this image should the potential to be useful in the Wikipedia online encyclopedia and its derivatives. In most nominated images, the QI value is inherent in the image or from the description. IMO, as a personal picture, this image is fine, but per Guideline 7 how or where would this image find utility in Wikipedia? I just can’t see it. That is the basis of my oppose. --GRDN711 15:53, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I don't understand why everything is always reduced to Wikipedia. To be honest, I find it frustrating. There are many more Wikimedia projects and a wide range of possible applications. --XRay 05:09, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
@GRDN711: Your interpretation of the QI "value" guideline is far too narrow. Its purpose is to avoid promoting genuinely non-encyclopedic content such as random personal snapshots or selfies, not to exclude entire subjects like sunsets, wilted flowers, or beaches based on personal notions of significance. QI focuses primarily on technical quality, and your approach takes the value criterion to an extreme not supported by the guidelines or community practice. If you continue provoking such discussions, the community may eventually seek outside help to address your case. --Jakubhal 05:11, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
@GRDN711: Since the entire QI project is dedicated to technical quality, all that you can read in the Guideline relate to the technical quality of the photos, not their content. Obviously, it's much more convenient and correct to illustrate Wiki projects with good-quality images than with bad ones, and that's exactly the point. As for the "potential to be useful" of the contents of the pictures, no one can predict what will benefit and when, and what won't, and neither can you if your real name isn't Nostradamus. That is why all your arguments about the contents of the images here in this project are absolutely incorrect. -- Екатерина Борисова 04:11, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Support I don't understand your point GRDN711. This image could be used to illustrate an article about algaes in Norway... --Sebring12Hrs 19:47, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Support I find it quite fine too. -- Harmonide 11:57, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Comment to All: Please take the time to read the QI guidelines above. Almost without exception, anyone can upload any image of their choice. However, when the extra step is taken to nominate that image to be rated as a quality image, there are 7 guidelines that are intended to be met through review. These QI criteria cover three areas – documentation (1, 2), technical (3 – 6) and value (7) to the Wikipedia online encyclopedia and/or its member Wikis. There is more to a QI rating than just technical.
This QI rating system is not run for uses that no one can predict; or for use in some school project or outside publication. The stated intention of adding a QI rating to an image to distinguish that the image has potential to be useful to the Wikis.
Everyone at this forum has an opinion, and every opinion is both valid and subjective, be it about QI documentation, technical or value. We rely on the consensus opinion of this forum to be the final arbiter (which it appears I may lose, in this case ☹).
On this image, the technical aspects are well-done. I would not expect anything less from XRay who is an accomplished photographer.
You will just have to go to sleep tonight knowing that I disagree with you that this technically well-done image of an unidentified pile on a non-descript beach at sunset has sufficient value for use within the Wiki family.
If you are going to comment back, please respond to this issue only. I’m done with the rest. --GRDN711 00:47, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
To all too: Please pay attention that the word "Wikipedia" does not occur in the guidelines. ;-) And thank you very much for considering me an accomplished photographer. But I make mistakes, and there are also a number of photos I've taken that aren't good enough for QI. I use photos for many purposes, but here in particular to show what is possible in photography. (This is limited, of course, by my knowledge, which is growing day by day.) At least this aspect is educational.
I hope everyone enjoys photography. Most of us do photography as a hobby. That means we are not driven by any commissions. This gives us the opportunity to be creative on the one hand and to approach photography projects in a relaxed manner on the other. QI is a small step toward increasing our knowledge. (Of course, opinions can vary greatly when it comes to some creatively designed photos. I am thinking of another nomination of mine—keyword ICM.) The guidelines sensibly use the word “should” rather than “must” in many places. This means, above all, that not every rule is always applicable. Have fun taking photos! Enjoy being creative! --XRay 05:15, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

  • A photographer friend of mine got me excited about ICM and even gave a lecture on it. The technique is very simple, he said. My first attempts didn't look particularly great.

  •  Oppose disturbing foreground, weird composition. Unlike a few other photos in the corresponding categories, the use of this technique of alienation in this photo does not support a particular motif, a special lighting situation or anything else that would be worth highlighting. It is also not eye-catching at all from a purely graphic point of view. --Smial 18:51, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I agree that this image is not good enough to merit the QI rating. In general, it would be worthwhile for XRay to start a discussion in the QIC talk page on whether and how such images are to be evaluated. --Tagooty 09:29, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
  • I won't start the discussion, as I've had it many times before. It's pointless to discuss it, and even frustrating. Basically, there are two groups – to put it simply: those who only see things through the eyes of Wikipedia and only know articles that are clearly structured. Articles such as en:Intentional camera movement are usually unknown to them. The others see Wikimedia Commons as a media archive for everyone, both within the Wikimedia world and outside it. In this case, you can often see the possibilities for using such photos. It may be that this division into two different groups is just my impression, but I have experienced it very often here. It is important to me to demonstrate the possibilities of photography. This includes photos of the type presented here. And rules from our QIC Rules can only be applied where they make sense. Photos of this type are also valuable to me in my photography courses to demonstrate possibilities. I think it's important to explore different topics in photography. And, by the way, there are Wikipedia pages with relevant photos for many of these topics. --XRay 11:49, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

  •  Comment Images submitted here in QI are more of a documentary nature and are evaluated according to their technical characteristics. But this is art, and in my opinion, it defies any qualitative evaluation. I have become curious myself and would like to experiment with ICM, but QI is not a platform for discussing such exhibits. --Syntaxys 03:42, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
  • To be honest, I don't find the photos to have the supposedly necessary documentary character. Perhaps you can help me with a source. The term “educational” is also meant in a broad sense. I suspect that the narrower view stems from the past. I have always understood Commons to be a media archive—as are the goals of this project. Creative works were also less common in the past. But that does not exclude them. In my opinion, they are also explicitly educational in a photographic sense. In my opinion, the entire spectrum of photography should be covered—including here at QIC. --XRay 07:53, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
