These are the candidates to become valued images. Please note that this is not the same as featured pictures or quality images. If you simply want some feedback on your pictures you can get that at photography critiques.

Single images can be proposed for valued image (VI) status. Candidates must be proposed as being the most valuable of all Commons' images within a specified scope. Judging is carried out according to the valued image criteria.

A Most Valued Review (MVR) is opened where there are two or more candidates competing within essentially the same scope.

The rules for promotion can be found at Commons:Valued image candidates/Promotion rules.

An image which has previously been declined can be renominated within the same scope only if the issues leading to the original decline have been addressed. Previously nominated images that were closed as "undecided" can be renominated at any time. Once a candidate achieves VI or VIS status it can normally be demoted only if some better candidate replaces it during an MVR.

If you would like to nominate an image for VI status, please do so following the instructions below. If you are proposing a better candidate within essentially the same scope as an image which already has VI status, please open an MVR.

How to nominate an image for VI status

[edit]

Nominations will be evaluated using the criteria listed at Commons:Valued image criteria. Please read those criteria before submitting an image to help cut down on the number of candidates that have a low chance of success. Make sure you understand the concept of scope and how to choose the correct scope for your nomination.

Please make sure that your proposed image fulfills all of the necessary criteria before nominating it. For example, if it needs to be geocoded, do that in advance. If no appropriate categories exist, create and link them beforehand. Although some reviewers may help by fixing minor issues during the review process, it is your responsibility as nominator to ensure your image ticks all the necessary boxes before you propose it. If you nominate an image that ignores one of the criteria, don't be surprised if it fails VI review.

Adding a new nomination (image)

[edit]

Step 1: Copy the image name into this box (excluding the File: prefix), at the end of the text already present in the box, for example, Commons:Valued image candidates/My-image-filename.jpg. Then click on the "Create new nomination" button.


Step 2: Follow the instructions on the page that you are taken to, and save the resulting VIC subpage.

Step 3: Manually add the candidate image towards the end of Commons:Valued image candidates/candidate list (under the heading "New valued image nominations"), as the last parameter in the VICs template. Click here, and append the following line as the last parameter of the relevant section:

|My-image-filename.jpg

so that it looks like this: 

{{VICs
 ...
 |My-image-filename.jpg
}}

and save the candidate list.

Renomination

[edit]

Declined VICs can be renominated by any registered user, but only after one or more of the root cause(s) leading to a decline has/have been addressed. Undecided VICs can be renominated as is although it is still recommended to consider and fix issue(s) which may have hindered a promotion of the candidate in the previous review.

Besides fixing issues with the previous nomination the following procedure shall be followed upon renomination.

Step 1: Edit the candidate subpage you intend to renominate. All declined and undecided VICs are placed in either Category:Declined valued image candidates, or Category:Undecided valued image candidates and sorted by the date of the previous nomination.

Step 2: Replace the previous nomination date and time by pasting in 

|date={{subst:VI-time}}

Step 3: Replace the "undecided" or "declined" status with "nominated" (or "discussed" if you intend to add it to a Most Valued Review).

Step 4: If the previous nominator was a different user replace the nominator parameter with 

|nominator=~~~

Step 5: If the candidate does not already have an archive link to previous reviews: Create one using the following procedure.

  • Cut the text in the previous review section (leave the closing braces "}}")
  • replace the review parameter with
|review=
{{subst:VIC-archive}}
}}
  • Save the page.
  • There is now a red link to Previous reviews. Click the link to create the archive subpage and paste in the previous reviews.
  • Save the previous reviews archive page

Step 6: Add the candidate to the candidates list.

How to open a Most Valued Review

[edit]

There must be at least two candidates competing within essentially the same scope to open an MVR. Each needs its own VIC subpage, which should be created as above if it does not already exist, but with status set to "discussed". Then, add the following section at the end of the page Commons:Valued image candidates/Most valued review candidate list: 

=== Scope ===
{{VICs
  |candidate1.jpg
  |candidate2.jpg
}}

where Scope is the scope of both images, and candidate1.jpg and candidate2.jpg are the respective candidates. If need be, also remove the relevant image(s) from the list in Pending valued image candidates

If one of the candidates is an existing VI within essentially the same scope, the original VIC subpage is re-opened for voting by changing its status to status=discussed and new reviews are appended to the original VIC subpage. However, any original votes are not counted within the MVR.

The status parameter of each candidate should remain set to "discussed" while the MVR is ongoing.

How to review the candidates

[edit]

How to review an image

[edit]

Any registered user can review the valued image candidates. Comments are welcome from everyone, but neither the nominator nor the original image author may vote (that does not exclude voting from users who have edited the image with a view to improving it).

Nominations should be evaluated using the criteria listed at Commons:Valued image criteria. Please read those and the page on scope carefully before reviewing. Reviewing here is a serious business, and a reviewer who just breezes by to say "I like it!" is not adding anything of value. You need to spend the time to check the nomination against every one of the six VI criteria, and you also need to carry out searches to satisfy yourself on the "most valuable" criterion.

Review procedure

[edit]
  • On the review page the image is presented in the review size. You are welcome to view the image in full resolution by following the image links, but bear in mind that it is the appearance of the image at review size which matters.
  • Check the candidate carefully against each of the six VI criteria. The criteria are mandatory, and to succeed the candidate has to satisfy all six.
  • Use the where used field, if provided, to study the current usage of the candidate in Wikimedia projects. If you find usage of interest do add relevant links to the nomination.
  • Look for other images of the same kind of subject by following the links to relevant categories in the image page, and to any Commons galleries.
    • If you find another image which is already a VI within essentially the same scope, the candidate and the existing VI should be moved to Most Valued Review (MVR) to determine which one is the more valued.
    • If you find one or more other images which in your opinion are equally or more valued images within essentially the same scope, you should nominate these images as well and move all the candidates to an MVR.
  • Once you have made up your mind, edit the review page and add your vote or comment to the review parameter as follows:
You type You get When
*{{Comment}} My Comment. -- ~~~~ You have a comment.
*{{Info}} My information. -- ~~~~ You have information.
*{{Neutral}} Reason for neutral vote. -- ~~~~
  •  Neutral Reason for neutral vote. -- Example
 You are uncertain or wish to record a neutral vote.
*{{Oppose}} Reason for opposing vote. -- ~~~~
  •  Oppose Reason for opposing vote. -- Example
 You think that the candidate fails one or more of the six mandatory criteria.
*{{Question}} My question. -- ~~~~ You have a question.
*{{Support}} Reason for supporting. -- ~~~~
  •  Support Reason for supporting. -- Example
 You think that the candidate meets all of the six mandatory criteria.
  • If the nomination fails one of the six criteria, but in a way that can be fixed, you can optionally let the nominator know what needs to be done using the {{VIF}} template.
  • Your comment goes immediately before the final closing braces "}}" on the page.
How to update the status
  • Finally, change the status of the nomination if appropriate:
    • status=nominated When no votes or only neutral votes have been added to the review field (blue image border).
    • status=supported When there is at least one {{Support}} vote but no {{Oppose}} votes (light green image border).
    • status=opposed When there is at least one {{Oppose}} vote but no {{Support}} votes (red image border).
    • status=discussed When there is at least one {{Oppose}} vote and one {{Support}} vote (yellow image border).


Remember the criteria: 1. Most valuable 2. Suitable scope 3. Illustrates well 4. Fully described 5. Geocoded 6. Well categorized.

Changes in scope during the review period

[edit]

The nominator is allowed to make changes in scope as the review proceeds, for example in response to reviewer votes or comments. Whenever a scope is changed the nominator should post a signed comment at the bottom of the review area using {{VIC-scope-change|old scope|new scope|--~~~~}}, and should also leave a note on the talk page of all existing voters asking them to reconsider their vote. A support vote made before the change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn.

You can submit new nominations starting on COM:VIC.

Nominated by:
Giles Laurent (talk) on 2026-01-20 21:08 (UTC)
Scope:
Coracias caudatus (Lilac-breasted roller) landing, showing wing upperside
@GRDN711, the one you have linked is in flight and not landing! Also the one you have linked is completely blurry with no details and the light is much worse than the present candiafe showcasing the beautiful vibrant colors of this bird -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:05, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Giles - In your other image, I could see that the bird was taking off. In this one, it is not apparent and I would not know it if you has not told me. So, "landing" as a sub-scope is a little dubious.
As for the display of the upper wing, the other image clearly shows a full display of both the wing and tail feathers. Yes, your image is technically superior as you are a better photographer. But for VI, while good quality is encouraged, the requirement for review is at the size and resolution of the image on this page. The other image better illustrates the pattern of upper wing feathers, including the tail feathers which are lost in this nomination. --GRDN711 (talk) 01:51, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@GRDN711 I 100% promise it just landed from a nearby bush to search insects on the ground (which he successfully found). Moreover the other image you have linked has one wing hidden behind the bird while the present one shows completely every single feather of both wings. Also, the bluriness of the other picture is already immediately visible at review size while the present candidate has every feather in focus and without motion blur. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 04:05, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I am doubly saddened by the outcome of this nomination. Firstly, the negative vote was inept, but I am especially astonished that no one stepped forward to rectify this injustice. This image can be submitted to the FP. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:58, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment To me this is a valued image of the species on the ground with wings spread. Visually, I am not able to see that it is in the landing phase of flight. Unfortunately, per "verifiable" and "no original research" criteria of Wikipedia, the statement of the photographer, however accurate, cannot be relied on. If the scope is modified as suggested, I will support. --Tagooty (talk) 03:46, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Best in scope and useful.
    The goal of VI is to identify images of potential use in Wiki projects. The linked Categorty has been in existence since 2019. The images in the CAT show a sturdy building and cemetery which have obviously been in existence for decades, and are likely to stand for decades more. The nom image has been viewed 3,800+ times. Given the global Internet, many of these views will have been non-local. Promoting as VI will encourage use in Wiki projects.
    Generally, as VI is a digital gallery, there is no constraint of space (as in a physical gallery). As long as a scope is potentially useful, I prefer to encourage, especially for images from countries/regions that are under-represented in Wikipedia and the largely-English Internet. --Tagooty (talk) 03:40, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Reason:
I think this is the most representative picture of this church. -- Kiril Simeonovski (talk)
  • @Gower: This church is an example of the revival church architecture from the 19th century, and it is documented in reliable academic sources (for instance, in this book published by the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts). Moreover, there's also a Wikipedia article in Bulgarian (not only in Macedonian). I really don't know what additional criteria are necessary for a church to get a VI scope other than a representative picture used across the Wikimedia projects, coverage in academic sources and a Wikipedia article in a language other than the vernacular spoken by the local population (at the very least, all these criteria clearly demonstrate that its significance is much wider). If the outer appearance of the building also matters, it's useful to know for preparing my future nominations. --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 20:46, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Römisch-katholische Kirche Maria Himmelfahrt (Ilanz) Stations of the Cross no 1.
  • @Gower: Answer: In my opinion, all the Stations of the Cross in this church deserve VI status. As you can see, they are very old paintings, probably as old as the church itself, and painted specifically for this church. The scenes are painted on a rough surface. The paintings clearly need restoration and cleaning.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 16:42, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment that artifical pond/lake is very small (about 8 398,74 m²). Per VIS „Like any other place, a natural site should be of more than local interest to justify a scope”. It has an article on a Wikipedia, but you wrote it. I'm not sure it is worth VI. --Gower (talk) 21:47, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
