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.

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

4. Webkinz Mania (talk)
5. User:luvluv321
6. Leirin (talk) - An epic picture with a nice lightsource. We should definitely do this for Brawl's anniversary (at least in time for Europe's). ;)

5. McQueenMario (talk) - Fully awesome!
6. Webkinz Mania (talk) - I never seen anything like this@
7. Grandy02 (talk) - A very interesting image, I can bear the tag.
8. Thadeu (talk) - Very good.
9. Superstar Daisy (talk) Words cannot describe this.
10. Zafum (talk) - i'm changing my mind for the third time. I really think that this would be a cool pic to have on the main page.

Oppose

1. Bloc Partier (talk) - 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. PT PRANA (talk) - 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. Twentytwofiftyseven (talk)

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. sonictoast (talk)

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 Castle Toad (talk)

Would this be preferable? I don't see what's wrong with the tag, anyway. It's a caption, not a logo. Twentytwofiftyseven (talk)

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 Bloc Partier (talk)

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. Time Questions 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. Arend (talk)

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. - Zafum (talk)

2. Zafum (talk)It looks quite nice at first, untill you see Mario looking down and the score in the corner.
3. Nihaho13 (talk) - yeah, it's a screen shot. We're doing artwork for featured images not screen shots.

I just love it! Castle Toad (talk)

Lu-igi board: I put that name on it because that's how Penguru describes it. Castle Toad (talk)

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)
