Featured Pictures in Wikipedia This page highlights images that we find beautiful, shocking, impressive, and informative. It is the visual equivalent to featured articles and, as such, even more subjective. To see these pictures without having to click on every link, see Wikipedia:Featured pictures visible. Be warned, however, that that page may take a while to load. To browse through all the pictures at a glance see Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs, which has smaller images, but loads faster than Feature pictures visible. There is also a category for images with aspect ratios suitable for wallpapering. There are currently 553 featured pictures. If you wish to add specific images to this page, please nominate it on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. Images listed here should be either in the public domain or covered by a free license. One photo from this list is featured daily on Template:Pic of the day. You can include this box anywhere (e.g. your user page) by adding the text {{pic of the day}} or {{POTD}} where you want the picture to be shown. |
