where X is the current number of selected articles. The formula yields 8 for nine selected articles, thus selecting Portal:Kerala/Selected articles/Selected article 8 from the pool.

[edit] For Images

[edit] Nominating an image as selected picture

  1. Create a new subpage named   Portal:Kerala/Selected picture candidates/ExampleName
  2. Copy the following content into the new blank subpage:
    • Do not change this portion of text at all: {{subst:PAGENAME}}
===[[Portal:{{subst:PAGENAME}}| ExampleName ]]===

[[ Image: Example.jpg |thumb| Caption goes here ]]

Add your reasons for nominating it here; 
say what article it appears in, and who created the image.

*Nominate and '''support'''. - ~~~~

<!-- additional votes go above this line  -->
{{breakafterimages}}

Add   {{Portal:Kerala/selected picture candidates/ExampleName}}   to the top of the list in the Current nominations section of the Selected picture candidates page

If you have problems formatting your nomination, someone else will fix it, don't worry! If you wish to simply add your nomination to Selected picture candidates page without creating the subpage, that is OK as someone else will create the subpage. The important piece of information is the pointer to the image, and the reason for the nomination.
