=Valued Picture Candidates (VPC)=
Valued Pictures are images that add significant value to Wikipedia articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or by being a hard to obtain free use image of the content being illustrated.
Valued Picture Candidates (VPC) is a place where you can have images evaluated for Valued Picture status, and can receive feedback on the image's potential as a possible Featured Picture. Prior to the Valued Picture (VP) function, this page was formerly known as Wikipedia:Picture peer review.
Valued Pictures may possess many of the characteristics of a Featured Picture, but have a greater emphasis on high encyclopaedic value over technical quality. For the criteria against which VPs are judged refer to the Valued Picture Criteria.
For promotion, if an image is listed here for at least seven days with three or more opinions in support (excluding the nominator), and consensus is in its favour, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Valued pictures gallery. Note that promotion is ultimately at the discretion of the closer. For example anonymous and sockpuppet opinions are generally disregarded, as are opinions that do not address criteria.

Instructions
Please ensure you have read and understood the VP Criteria prior to nominating.
If you would rather receive comments only on your picture please request this in your nomination. Other users will then only provide you with comments and feedback, rather than VPC Support and Oppose opinions. If you request to receive comments only there is no requirement to fully satisfy the VP Criteria, although comments may still address these.
For general advice on editing pictures see Wikipedia:How to improve image quality.
To create a Valued Picture Candidate nomination, follow these three steps:
Step 1: Create a new subpage named Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/ExampleName replacing ExampleName with an appropriate title:
type=create
width=70
break=no
buttonlabel=Create new subpage
default=User:Jjron/VP Trial 2/
preload=User:Jjron/VP Trial/PPR-VP Preload
editintro=User:Jjron/VP Trial/PPR-VP Editintro
Step 2: Fill in the requested data, including your reasons for nominating, and click Save page.
Step 3: Transclude the newly created subpage to the TOP of the Valued picture candidates list ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Valued_picture_candidates&action=edit§ion=2 direct link]).

How to comment
Please take care to be polite and considerate in your opinions, and ensure that your reasons address the VP Criteria. If you do not feel the image meets the criteria, try to suggest how your concerns may be able to be addressed.
If the user has requested comments only, then please refrain from making Support and Oppose opinions.
When making a 'vote' on an image:
- If you approve of a picture, write Support followed by your reasons in the Opinions section.
- If you don't approve of a picture, write Oppose followed by your reasons in the Opinions section.
- Rather than posting an Oppose vote, you may prefer to post a Comment raising issues with the picture.
- There are no Delist nominations at VPC. However, at times a nominator may suggest an image that they feel should Replace a current VP in order to avoid duplication, e.g., a similar image of higher quality or better composition. In that case they will make a nomination, but be clear that they are proposing a replacement for an existing VP. In this case Opinions should start with Replace or Keep, followed by the reasons.
To change your opinion, strike it out (with ...
Remember to sign all opinions and comments with
The VPC archive contains all opinions and comments collected on this page, and also nomination results.
Please remember to be civil, not to bite the newbies and to comment on the image, not the person.

Valued Picture Criteria
The criteria for Valued Picture Candidates are based on those for Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates (see Featured picture criteria).
The key difference to Featured Pictures is that Valued Pictures place primary emphasis on the picture's encyclopaedic value to Wikipedia. Thus standards for encyclopaedic value are higher at VP (e.g., the image must have been in its article for at least one month, and it must be a significant addition to its article). By contrast Featured Pictures place higher emphasis on 'technical quality' of the picture.
Note: an image cannot be both a VP and an FP. Therefore you cannot nominate an existing FP at VPC. You may nominate existing VPs at FPC, but if a VP is promoted to FP, it will have its VP tag replaced with the FP tag, and will be removed from the VP Gallery.
The criteria for Valued Pictures are:
- The image is encyclopaedically valuable to Wikipedia and has been suitably illustrating an article for at least one month. Images that only make a minor contribution, such as a gallery image, would not be considered to have high encyclopaedic value. Images must have been suitably located in at least one article for a minimum of one month in order to help demonstrate that other editors of that article consider the image to be worth retaining and thus to have encyclopaedic value. Images that do not meet this criteria are ineligible for VP status.
- The image is accurate and has an appropriate caption in its article.
- The image is of a suitable size for its purpose. In general this means it should have acceptable resolution at image page size. The resolution should be sufficient that the key details being illustrated are clearly visible.
- The image is of acceptable technical quality, without excessive digital manipulation. Technical quality covers such things as composition, lighting, colour balance, and sharpness. In general the image should have acceptable quality at image page size.
- The image has a free license.
Note: to view an image at image page size, click on the thumbnail version displayed in the nomination on this page.
