[edit] Nomination procedure
[edit] Step 1 - Evaluate
The submissions will be evaluated using the criteria listed on Wikipedia:What is a featured picture? Please read the Featured picture criteria before submitting a picture to help cut down on the number of candidates that have a low chance of making it. If you are unsure if your picture will fulfill the criteria, you can add it to Wikipedia:Picture peer review for review. If you feel the submitting process is complicated, you can add it with the following syntax: [[Image:YourImageName.jpg|thumbnail|200px]] to the peer review page (but please do not use this syntax on the Featured Pictures candidate page itself!).
[edit] Step 2 - Create subpage
Create a page to place the article on, this page needs to be a subpage of Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. To create your own subpage, add the title of the image you want to nominate in the bar as a subpage of the given page in the form below and click "create new nomination" (for example Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Labrador Retriever).
[edit] Step 2.5 - Transclude and link
- Transclude the newly created page to candidate list (direct link)-
[edit] Step 3 - Update image
On the nominated image's page use the 'Edit page' button to add the fpc template like so: {{FPC|title}}. This inserts the featured pictures candidate template, to let the original contributor and other interested parties know that the image is up for voting.
[edit] Too complicated?
If you are unable to follow the above procedure, add your image to Wikipedia:Picture peer review with the following syntax: [[Image:YourImageName.jpg|thumbnail|200px]], and mention that you would like to submit it, but that you don't know how. If someone else likes it, they will add it to Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. Again, please do not add images directly to FPC using this syntax.
