Please use this page for discussions surrounding the creation of "Today's Featured Picture" for April Fool's day 2011
Areas of work needed to complete the front page are:
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Featured Article
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Today's Featured Picture
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/On This Day
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/In The News
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know
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
- What picture? We need to nominate some and vote on them.
- 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).
- If we choose to use a WikiWorld cartoon - maybe we want Greg to draw us one especially for the day?
- We have to usher it through the nomination process and make sure it actually does get onto the front page on April 1st.
Rules
Rule 1: Pictures appear on the main page only once, so they cannot have been used on the main page before.
Rule 2: It is not too risqué (more so than any other article that would be used on the front page). So File:DefecatingSeagull.jpg and File:Indecency2.jpg are not eligible.
