Potential candidates

I am listing potential candidates. If you want to nominate any of these, go ahead. Some need restoration, better article placement, etc. Some were nominated previously and are worth renominating. Feel free to modify the list. Bammesk (talk) 16:01, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestions. And we do have a slight problem that we've been falling slightly behind the POTD schedule for some time now. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.9% of all FPs} 18:43, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

POTD

FP has become moribund as there are too few voters. For me, it is now a waste of my time.

I suggested that we should add: "Pictures of the Day are chosen from Wikipedia's Featured Pictures. Wikipedia editors vote on candidates here", at the end of every POTD description.

Please see discussion copied here for further input:

Hi. We have a shortage of voters for Featured Pictures and Adam Cuerden and I thought we should try to encourage others. Without voters, we will have fewer FPs from which to select POTD. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Charlesjsharp: Certainly – I don't object in principle to including some sort of occasional statement at the end of blurbs to solicit FPC voting, but it would perhaps be better if this were first discussed somewhere. I've kept the appeal you included at the end of the 14 July blurb (with slight tweaks to the wording). — RAVENPVFF · talk · 21:03, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Would like to nominate but am unsure about procedure

Greetings, I just happened to find the enclosed image in a new article, and wanted to nominate it for Feature Picture on the Main Page. But I'm unsure how to do it exactly, so I wanted to ask here. –LordPeterII (talk) 14:20, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@LordPeterII:, read the instructions on top of the WP:FPC page. outlined in the instructions is a 3 step process for creating nominations. Bammesk (talk) 01:57, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Elizabeth II

I'd like to nominate this historical portrait of Elizabeth II, which I've recently restored, for Featured Picture status. Unfortunately, I don't have time to go through the nomination process. I hope someone else is willing to do that. Thank you in advance. nagualdesign 18:08, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That’s bellow the size requirements and it’s also not used in any articles. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 10:15, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

John F. Kennedy Inauguration Speech

I was interested in nominating the Inauguration of JFK for Featured Pictures but found that its "currently" a Featured Sound. Would it be able to become a Featured Picture even though its part of a defunct Featured Content?

I don’t see why that would be a problem. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 14:09, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
