Here's a quote from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Quality_images "Quality images are diagrams or photographs which meet certain quality standards (which are mostly technical in nature) and which are valuable for Wikimedia projects. Unlike featured pictures, quality images must be the work of Commons contributors; they need not be extraordinary or outstanding, but merely well-composed and generally well-executed." That doesn't sound terribly strict to me. I know we won't have many or any that will make Featured Picture status - that's more like Featured Article than Good Article. > There was definitely a couple of WOW photos entered during the competition > that > will be perfect for Featured Pictures. > > http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Valued_images > http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:FPC Sure, I guess it's worth a shot. -- David Richfield [[:en:User:Slashme]] +27718539985 _______________________________________________ WikimediaZA mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaza
