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.

 * 3) - Pretty cool. Looks like it's very useful.

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) - At first sight it looks oddly compelling, but it does get pretty boring once you've seen it a couple of times.

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

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. -

Beatuiful view of Princess Peach's Castle


Subject: Peach's Catle from Super Mario Galaxy Nominated by:

Support

 * 1)  Colorful and the nightime of this was only seen sometimes (correct me if I´m wrong) and it´s a good level pic the beautiful & paceful festival, the first vision of a Galaxy player.
 * 2) Great! And the fact that is at night makes it even better!
 * 1) Great! And the fact that is at night makes it even better!

Oppose

 * 1) it's not beautiful at all! it's damn-right atrocius! Lu-igi board 08:17, 3 May 2009 (EDT)
 * 2) It looks quite nice at first, untill you see Mario looking down and the score in the corner.
 * 3) - yeah, it's a screen shot. We're doing artwork for featured images not screen shots.
 * 4) Come on. Mario's looking at the ground? And the score really dosen't make it look any better, its a good image but it just dosen't seem good enough to be featured.

Comments
I just love it!

Lu-igi board: I put that name on it because that's how Penguru describes it.

that's fair enough, I just don't like it. I did not mean to seem angry at you. Sorry Lu-igi board 11:33, 4 May 2009 (EDT)

Actually it's hard to make me think, that someone is angry at me, so no problem there, it's your oppinion, and it's Ok! i was just answering why "beautiful" (i never take it personnal) Castle Toad ( Talk )

Nihaho13: There's nothing wrong about screenshots. They're images as well.

Oppose

 * 1) - Like the Galaxy picture of Peach's Castle, there are tabs (In this case containing the player's stats) in the corners, making it look unofficial and thus, bad for the main page.
 * 2) - It's a screen shot, which makes it look bad.
 * 3) per all, plus it is really boring, its a picture of a train. yippe.
