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.

No offense, but is Zafum's vote valid? It's like unfeaturing King K. Rool because "some people" could be "startled" when seeing a Donkey Kong character as the featured article... --Grandy02 17:22, 7 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Well, you're not forced to add a reason when voting, so it's valid. But I agree that Zafum's reason doesn't make much sense. 19:38, 7 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Agree. Zafum said on the SSBB picture (who seems to be uploaded by me) that he saw it too much, while he didn't said newlings get startled because they see Link, Pit, pikachu, Pokémon Trainer, etc. on it. Glad he edited his vote.
 * Well, whenever I vote for something I try to add some sort of reason to do so, and thats the first thing that came to mind. The real reason is probably because I don't really care for the Wario games. -

King K.Rools ship

 * Subject: Donkey Kong Country 2's map of the Gangplank Galleon.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) great picture :) Lu-igi board

Oppose

 * 1) - Sorry for sounding reasonless, I mean, maps are good. But this is a map ripped from a 16-bit game, and 16-bit pictures even in high quality arn't going to look good on the front page.
 * 2) Zafum, the reason for your vote is useless. No, it's just no artwork, that's what it is... Maps doesn't care.

 * 5) - Feel drained. Looking at this image.
