Please use this page for discussions surrounding the creation of "Today's Featured Picture" for April Fool's day 2010


Areas of work needed to complete the front page are:

Ground rules for this activity along with a list or participants may be found on the Main talk page.


The Mission

In order to get a funny/unusual Featured picture onto the front page, it must be both a great picture and be used in a Wikipedia article.

Action Items

  1. What picture? We need to nominate some and vote on them.
  2. Whatever we choose has to be used in an actual Wikipedia article. Can we write an article that NEEDS a WikiWorld cartoon? Maybe Greg Williams (who draws them for us) is sufficiently notable that we could write a short Bio article on him and illustrate it with a WikiWorld cartoon? Maybe WikiWorld in itself is notable (it's a bit of a self-ref...but maybe that's OK considering that we only need it to get the image accepted).
  3. If we choose to use a WikiWorld cartoon - maybe we want Greg to draw us one especially for the day?
  4. We have to usher it through the nomination process and make sure it actually does get onto the front page on April 1st.
  5. Rule: Pictures appear on the main page only once, so they cannot have been used on the main page before.

Proposed Images

I don't know why I didn't think of this one for this past year, not that I'm unhappy with the science fiction house. howcheng {chat} 20:57, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
