MarioWiki:Featured images

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.

 * 3) - Very good.

Oppose

 * 1) - Though it is amazing and I did upload it, it is... um... stolen... from here. Of course, this site got it from an official source, but with the small tag on the bottom it is not very official to have it featured.
 * 2) - ALthough it's really quite interesting, it has a small logo in the corner, which makes it informal to use.
 * 3) - At first sight it looks oddly compelling, but it does get pretty boring once you've seen it a couple of times.

Comments
Well, I expect this to be shot down fairly quickly as "boring" or somesuch. Thing is, that isn't why I nominated it. I don't think it's exciting or beautiful, but I think it's informative. This is also sort of a hard image to find elsewhere on the internet.

This is perfect. Though it is looking like the Mario Galaxy picture is gonna win, this is still perfect. This Wiki is about everything Mario, this picture represents the main cast in proportion to each other, giving us those little details no one else knew existed. Plus this picture is a rare find, thus showing the kind of mystical treasures this site has to offer.

Woah!!! This is just PERFECT??? and i've no idea this could be possible to exist!!! it's the comparison of heights it's amazing

Would [[Media:20060196_size_chart.jpg|this]]  be preferable? I don't see what's wrong with the tag, anyway. It's a caption, not a logo.

It's a caption, yes. But it's a caption original to the image on that site, showing it's stolen. I still love the image though. :3
