The rest of this document covers what type of pictures should be considered, the criteria they should be judged by, the nomination/promotion/rejection procedure, and updating of the main page in detail, as well as lists of current selected pictures.
Articles nominated for Featured Article status should adhere to the following criteria:
Voting should be limited to registered users only. Votes registered by anon users should be struck off using a strike through (<s>Some text</s>).
After seven days, pictures must be promoted or rejected depending on their vote total. Currently a clear 3 votes in favour/against will be sufficient, although this is subject to review if and when the community expands.
After the waiting period is over each picture will be promoted or rejected. For a few days an archive of the voting shall remain on the nominations page. Afterward a record of the nomination must be entered on the former nominations page, regardless of success or failure.
No picture may be re-nominated unless a new version of it is uploaded.
Any nominations that are already Selected Pictures should be removed from the list immediately.
Pictures are to remain on the Main Page for two weeks.
The queue should be listed in order of promotion to Selected Picture status. Each picture listed should have a start date listed next to it.
