#[[User:Mario304|Mario304]]
#{{User|Ultratim4}} Nice picture, the most commonly known of Brawl's default characters. You have my vote.
#{{User|Webkinz Mania}}
#[[User:luvluv321]]
#{{User|Leirin}} - An epic picture with a nice lightsource. We should definitely do this for Brawl's anniversary (at least in time for Europe's). ;)
#{{User|Tucayo}} - Nice image, great in fact, and fun to look at
#{{User|Yoshi Koshi Moshi}} Per Tucayo. This is a fantastic pic.
#{{User|Karinmij}} Nice
#{{User|Onegiri}} I so want a poster of this...
#{{User|Luigifreak}} While I do think it is overused, it does have great colors and lighting.
 
====Oppose====
#{{User|Zafum}} - Ive seen this picture far too often and it's gotten boring to look at.
#{{user|Castle Toad}} i agree Zafum, it has been really used too much
#{{user|ForeverDaisy09}} Yeah. Very used image.
#[[User:Lu-igi board|Lu-igi board]] I change my vote. it is a very predictable image to see.
#{{User|TripFresh}} Overused, old, and boring.
#{{User|babymario12}} 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

====Comments====
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... --[[User:Grandy02|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. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 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. {{User|Arend}}
::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. - {{User|Zafum}}

Latest revision as of 09:18, April 19, 2023

It has been decided that the Super Mario Wiki will no longer support this feature. This page is kept and protected strictly for historical purposes.

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 week (on Thursdays at 17:00 GMT), 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.

A gallery of all Featured Images can be found here.

This page follows the No-Signature Policy.
