Nominated by	Angelus (talk) on 2012-01-04 17:29 (UTC)
Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Donald Duck portrait
Used in	Global usage
Reason	The best image depicting Donald Duck, present on Commons. Also the only Donald Duck cartoon in the public domain. -- Angelus (talk)
Review (criteria)	Comment It would be useful to add "portrait" in scope. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 07:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)  Done - Angelus (talk) 13:55, 5 January 2012 (UTC)  Support Good, useful, interesting and best in scope.--Jebulon (talk) 16:43, 5 January 2012 (UTC)  Oppose - not a free file. Please see the extended debate on a similar object at Commons:Deletion requests/File:"Appreciate America. Come On Gang. All Out for Uncle Sam" (Mickey Mouse)" - NARA - 513869.tif. I've nominated the file for deletion. --Claritas (talk) 19:39, 9 January 2012 (UTC)  Comment - Please, discuss it on the appropriate page! Then, if for any reason, the community will consider your deletion request right, the file will be deleted. For the moment, if you do not have other objections or appropriate motivations, I restore the positive vote. Angelus (talk) 21:53, 9 January 2012 (UTC)  Comment - Your negative vote is invalid because here is not the right place to talk about this! Here you just have to assess the value, purpose and usefulness of this image! And if you do not have objections concerning these aspects, your vote is invalid! --Angelus (talk) 14:51, 10 January 2012 (UTC) It's perfectly valid. As we're going to delete this file in a few days because it is a copyright violation, making it a valued image is a pointless exercise which will only cause more work when the file is deleted.--Claritas (talk) 17:51, 10 January 2012 (UTC) If the file will be deleted, however would not cause any additional work! Angelus (talk) 18:34, 10 January 2012 (UTC)  Support no problem for me --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 09:45, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

How to review an image

Any registered user can review the valued image candidates. Comments are welcome from everyone, but neither the nominator nor the original image author may vote (that does not exclude voting from users who have edited the image with a view to improving it).

Nominations should be evaluated using the criteria listed at Commons:Valued image criteria. Please read those and the page on scope carefully before reviewing. Reviewing here is a serious business, and a reviewer who just breezes by to say "I like it!" is not adding anything of value. You need to spend the time to check the nomination against every one of the six VI criteria, and you also need to carry out searches to satisfy yourself on the "most valuable" criterion.

Review procedure

• On the review page the image is presented in the review size. You are welcome to view the image in full resolution by following the image links, but bear in mind that it is the appearance of the image at review size which matters.
• Check the candidate carefully against each of the six VI criteria. The criteria are mandatory, and to succeed the candidate has to satisfy all six.
• Use the where used field, if provided, to study the current usage of the candidate in Wikimedia projects. If you find usage of interest do add relevant links to the nomination.
• Look for other images of the same kind of subject by following the links to relevant categories in the image page, and to any Commons galleries.
  • If you find another image which is already a VI within essentially the same scope, the candidate and the existing VI should be moved to Most Valued Review (MVR) to determine which one is the more valued.
  • If you find one or more other images which in your opinion are equally or more valued images within essentially the same scope, you should nominate these images as well and move all the candidates to an MVR.
• Once you have made up your mind, edit the review page and add your vote or comment to the review parameter as follows:

You type	You get	When
*{{Comment}} My Comment. -- ~~~~	Comment My comment. -- Example	You have a comment.
*{{Info}} My information. -- ~~~~	Info My information. -- Example	You have information.
*{{Neutral}} Reason for neutral vote. -- ~~~~	Neutral Reason for neutral vote. -- Example	You are uncertain or wish to record a neutral vote.
*{{Oppose}} Reason for opposing vote. -- ~~~~	Oppose Reason for opposing vote. -- Example	You think that the candidate fails one or more of the six mandatory criteria.
*{{Question}} My question. -- ~~~~	Question My question. -- Example	You have a question.
*{{Support}} Reason for supporting. -- ~~~~	Support Reason for supporting. -- Example	You think that the candidate meets all of the six mandatory criteria.

• If the nomination fails one of the six criteria, but in a way that can be fixed, you can optionally let the nominator know what needs to be done using the {{VIF}} template.

• Your comment goes immediately before the final closing braces "}}" on the page.

How to update the status

• Finally, change the status of the nomination if appropriate:
  • status=nominated When no votes or only neutral votes have been added to the review field (blue image border).
  • status=supported When there is at least one {{Support}} vote but no {{Oppose}} votes (light green image border).
  • status=opposed When there is at least one {{Oppose}} vote but no {{Support}} votes (red image border).
  • status=discussed When there is at least one {{Oppose}} vote and one {{Support}} vote (yellow image border).

Remember the criteria: 1. Most valuable 2. Suitable scope 3. Illustrates well 4. Fully described 5. Geocoded 6. Well categorized.

Changes in scope during the review period

The nominator is allowed to make changes in scope as the review proceeds, for example in response to reviewer votes or comments. Whenever a scope is changed the nominator should post a signed comment at the bottom of the review area using {{VIC-scope-change|old scope|new scope|--~~~~}}, and should also leave a note on the talk page of all existing voters asking them to reconsider their vote. A support vote made before the change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn.
