MarioWiki:Featured images

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

At the Super Mario Wiki, Featured Images are those quality, intriguing, witty, provocative, rare, important, and otherwise simply interesting images that can be found throughout the site's articles. Users are encouraged to submit and vote on nominations for the Featured Image displayed on the Main Page. Every a week, a new image is selected to be featured. This is done by subtracting the number of oppose votes from the number of support votes in each nomination - the image with the most "points" at the end of the week will be featured. Any image with a negative amount of points at the end of a week (that is a nomination with a majority of opposes) is removed from the selection process. The only condition for nominated images is that they must be in an actual mainspace article on the wiki. No personal images or images from non-mainspace pages are allowed. New image nominations can be added to the Featured Image Nominations section below.

Archived nominations of images that were featured in the past are found here.

Please, do not use signatures as they alter vote counts.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl group image


Subject: Super Smash Bros. Brawl Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Mario304
 * 2) Nice picture, the most commonly known of Brawl's default characters. You have my vote.
 * 3) User:luvluv321
 * 4) - An epic picture with a nice lightsource. We should definitely do this for Brawl's anniversary (at least in time for Europe's). ;)
 * 5) - Nice image, great in fact, and fun to look at
 * 6) Per Tucayo. This is a fantastic pic.
 * 7) Nice
 * 8) I so want a poster of this...
 * 9) While I do think it is overused, it does have great colors and lighting.
 * 10) Too iconic to not be featured eventually
 * 11) - Great picture. :)
 * 1) - Great picture. :)

Oppose

 * 1) - Ive seen this picture far too often and it's gotten boring to look at.
 * 2) i agree Zafum, it has been really used too much
 * 3) Yeah. Very used image.
 * 4) Lu-igi board I change my vote. it is a very predictable image to see.
 * 5) Overused, old, and boring.
 * 6) while i do like the pic, it's just the front cover of the box without the title, and the title makes it look a lot better, because without it there's just the blank space where it should be
 * 7) i agree with babymario12
 * 8) It has been on the featured image selection since it first started, now it must be taken off.

Mario memories

 * Subject:many scenes from Mario's past adventures.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) great picture :) Lu-igi board
 * 2) User:Tucayo
 * 3) User:luvluv321
 * 4) [[Image:Mr. L.jpg|40px]][[Image:Mr. L.jpg|40px]] Awesome!!!!
 * 5) I've got it as my desktop background!User:Zacharycc42
 * 6) -From 1985 to today, it rocks!
 * 7) - I like it.
 * 8) - I don't know how many more people have this as their desktop. I'm included.
 * 9) - Great picture, sums it all up.  I need this as my netbook background!
 * 10) - Ah, so nostalgic...
 * 11) a simple symbol of how mario has advanced through the years. it rocks my socks off
 * 12) I love it!!
 * 13) It greatly resembles Mario Party 5's boxart, but compared to the other pics, I agree with this.

Oppose

 * 1) YAWN! I find this very boring to look at. Also, it is arranged in a very bad way! [[Image:Unknown Shy Guy.PNG|50px]][[Image:Unknown Shy Guy.PNG|50px]]
 * 2) Per Hyper Guy
 * 3) I agree!
 * 4) Not all of those pictures look good together.
 * Is this even official? It looks like someone just put some Mario artwork together.
 * Per all, it looks very cluttered
 * 1) - Per all, not good for the main page.
 * Not that well arranged and selected. SMB3 artwork five times, but just a sprite from SMB and not any SM64 artwork? It hardly represents Mario's history with only two pre-2000 games. And where is this image from, anyway?
 * 1) Too cluttered.
 * 2) - For the second time I have to change my mind. I really think the fact that it's so cluttered is it's strong point, the thing that makes it look unique, but by everyone elses stantards this picture looks terrible. My job just happens to be to vote according to what people seeing the front page want to see, not what I think looks good...

Since i found this Scene so Music-themed i had to Nominate it, Hope you like it

I believe that if Zafum doesnt know why he dislikes the picture, his vote should be erased That's stupid
 * No, because you're not even forced to add a reason. You can just vote without putting any reason, and just as well you can say that you don't know why you dislike a picture.
 * Look, i'm not expecting that the images i nominate win, to be honest, i don't care, but seriously, i see just stupid things like "i dunno why i just don't like it", but whatever...

 * 1) Good image.
 * 2) I love it so much!!! FIRE MARIO!!!

Oppose

 * 1) - Nice quality, but only a single Fire Mario is not very interesting.
 * 2) - It looks very cool, but I see it alot and there is just one thing in the picture.
 * 3) - My opinion matches both Waluigimaster's and Zafum. Single isn't interesting. Extra fact, it's kinda boring. No offense.
