[edit] Procedure

[edit] How to add your nomination

  1. Find an image related to rail transport that you think is very good. It need not be a current Featured Picture, but if it is, it could only help the nomination.
  2. In the nominations section below, add a third level section header with the linked image title as the section name (=== [[:Image:Image title]] ===). Below this new header, add your reasons for nomination and sign your nomination with ~~~~.
    • Be sure to use the leading colon in the section heading so it displays as a link and not as the image.
    • It is helpful to include a thumbnail of the image within the nomination section. If you do, be sure to put a line break ({{-}}) at the end of the nomination section so nominations don't all flow together.

[edit] Supporting and opposing

  • If you approve of a picture, write "Support" followed by your reasons.
    • A nomination is considered a vote in support, so nominators don't need to add another vote to their nominations.
  • If you oppose a nomination, write "Oppose" followed by the reasons for your objection. Where possible, objections should provide a specific rationale that can be addressed.
    • To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.

[edit] Past nominations

As images are promoted, their discussions will be moved to the Archive.

[edit] Image:Eurostar at St Pancras Jan 2008.jpg

{{{2}}}

Interesting shot of both the newly restored St Pancras railway station in London, showing the Barlow roof and the locomotives which now use the terminus - two Class 373 "Eurostars". The caption at the moment is "Eurostar trains in the renovated train shed, January 2008", although a more informative caption could be added. Bob talk 14:15, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Support I like this one. Plenty of leading lines and items of interest. Hellbus (talk) 15:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • comment - its almost too symmetrical for me and the safety railings are a little distracting (but those rails that I assume are to support track signs are interesting). The exposure and colors are good, so I could see this used. I'll have to look at it more before I make a complete opinion on this one. Slambo (Speak) 16:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
