  • I didn't even know images went through a similar process on Commons. Must all images that are now on Commons be promoted as featured pictures? Also, if they are approved for featured picture status on Commons, why do they have to be approved on WP? - CorinneSD (talk) 01:23, 9 April 2015 (UTC) [reply]
  • No CorinneSD, two very different processes. Quite often those that pass on Commons end up here, but the criteria is different, so not all pass... But it's a good place to look as they tend to go there first, so a lot of discussion has taken place... But they do need to be approved here seperatly due to the different purposes of each "forum"... Does that help? gazhiley 12:26, 10 April 2015 (UTC) [reply]
  • Or come here first, then go there. In terms of technical demands, Commons is sometimes the more challenging, but what gets a lot of supports on Commons may not get any support here if it's not used well. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:07, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you both for your comments and explanations. If I understand correctly, how the image is used in articles in WP, that is, how they contribute to our understanding of a subject – encyclopedic value – is very important here, and more important than on Commons.

  • Tis my understanding yes... Commons seems to be more about the technical quality than anything else, whereas FP is more about whether or not there is a place for it in an Encyclopedia, and if it is the highest standard picture we can get of that subject... gazhiley 15:58, 13 April 2015 (UTC) [reply]
