3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like.

Ecclesiastical heraldry

Hola! ¿hablas español?

Veo que usted también está interesado en la heráldica eclesiástica, me alegra ver que las borlas y el galero que dibujé son de su agrado. Solo quiero darle unas recomendaciones, viendo su trabajo noto que usted no maneja una paleta de colores, pues veo que maneja varios tonos de rojo, de azul, de verde; le recomiendo que defina los tonos que usara en todos sus escudos. Yo uso los tonos recomendados por el Taller de Heráldica de la Wikipedia en español[1], se los recomiendo, así todos nuestros escudos estarían unificados en los tonos, dándole a la enciclopedia un aire estándar en la heráldica eclesiástica. Usted es libre de escoger los tonos que quiera, pero por favor no escoja esos tonos fuertes, oscuros o extravagantes, que realmente no son tonos heráldicos.

También veo que usted no trabaja por capas, recomiendo que las use, son de gran ayuda. Puede poner los elementos de la capa invisibles (cierra el ojo) mientras trabajas, tambien se puede bloquear para que no se mueva (cierra el candado). Para ver las capas haga clic sobre este símbolo , en mis plantillas vera una lista de capas, así es como trabajo.

Sobre el calibre de las lineas. El contorno o borde del escudo es la linea mas gruesa, no debe ser superada o igualada por las otras lineas. Para el contorno yo uso 4px de grosor. Para la división interna del escudo uso 2px. Para los demás elementos del escudo (muebles y piezas) vario entre 0,5px a 2px, eso lo determino según el tamaño y lo complejo de la figura. Cualquier duda me puede preguntar en mi discusión. --SajoR (talk) 00:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Message translated by google translator

Hello! Do you speak Spanish?

I see that you are also interested in ecclesiastical heraldry, glad to see that the tassels and galero I draw are to its liking. I just want to give some advice, seeing his work I notice that you do not drive a color palette, I see that manages various shades of red, blue, green, I recommend that you set the tone he used in all his shields. I use the colors recommended by the Workshop Heraldry Spanish Wikipedia[2], I recommend and all our shields would be unified in tone, giving an air standard encyclopedia in ecclesiastical heraldry. You are free to choose the colors you like, but please do not choose those strong tones, dark or extravagant, they really are not heraldic colors.

I also see that you do not work in layers, I recommend you use them, are helpful. You can put the elements of the layer invisible (eye closed) while you work, also can be locked to keep it from moving (closed padlock). To see the layers click this icon, in my templates see a list of layers, this is how I work.

About the size of the lines. The outline or edge of the shield is thicker line, not be exceeded or equaled by the other lines. For the outline I use 4px thick. For the internal division of the shield 2px use. For the other elements of the shield (furniture and fittings) varied between 0.5 px to 2px, that I determined according to the size and complexity of the figure. Any question can ask me on my talk. --SajoR (talk) 00:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I am sorry, I do not speak Spanish. I used to pick colors from the official coat of arms. I did not know that there was a wiki standard for that. I will follow this hereafter. I will also use your guidelines regarding layers and line thickness. --Jayarathina (talk) 05:08, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Message translated by google translator Hola, lo siento, yo no hablo español. Yo solía escoger los colores del escudo de armas oficial. Yo no sabía que había un estándar wiki para eso. Voy a seguir esta aquí en adelante. También voy a utilizar sus directrices relativas a las capas y grosor de línea. --Jayarathina (talk) 05:08, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

File:CoA Roman Catholic Diocese of Beaumont.svg

I bet that the dots on the yellow areas are due to heraldic "hatching" conventions, and are not part of the actual coat of arms (see File:Tinctures.svg, File:Coa Illustration Tinctures Eng.svg etc,).

P.S. Regarding the section above, there are not really standard RGB colors corresponding to heraldic tinctures (especially not for images to be used on English Wikipedia), and I would strongly advise against using any RGB color other than "#FFFFF" for heraldic "argent", since the only real valid reason to use anything other than pure white is to simulate a silvery metallic appearance, and an area of "flat" uniform color on a computer monitor can never look metallic... AnonMoos (talk) 19:33, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Thanks a lot for your guidance. I referred this Image when designing that coat of arms. As you can see, it had dots and I tried to replicate it. But anyway, I did not know at that time Wikipedia had standards for such things. And User:SajoR has pointed out that there are some standards. You can see that in my above conversation with him. I am trying my best to comply with them. But I am still learning. --Jayarathina (talk) 19:48, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

They're Spanish Wikipedia standards, not Commons standards or English Wikipedia standards, and if they advise using anything other than pure white for heraldic "argent", I would tend to disagree with them. In regards to your link, I'm not a Facebook user, and it doesn't like my browser anyway... AnonMoos (talk) 19:58, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Coat of Arms of Pope Francis

Hi Jayarathina, sorry for disturbing you. ‎Poznaniak has changed the motto of Pope Francis's CoA putting it in the right font, but doing so he has inadvertently reverted the CoA to the version with the incorrect mitra, canceling your changes. Could you do them again, please? --InfattiVedeteCheViDice (talk) 20:43, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

 Done--Jayarathina (talk) 04:28, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. --InfattiVedeteCheViDice (talk) 07:01, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Infułę narysowałem poprawnie, zgodnie z oficjalnym herbem zamieszczonym na stronie Watykanu: [3]. Nic nie poradzę na to, że Ci się nie podoba. Oryginalny herb powstał w fotoshopie z połączenia kilku innych i jego poszczególne elementy nie pasują do siebie stylem. Proszę abyś na przyszłość nie dokonywał poprawek wg własnego gustu tylko najpierw sprawdził źródło. Proszę abyś przywrócił poprawną wersję. Poznaniak (dyskusja) 10:44, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

This is not a matter of personal taste. I don't think you understand the difference between a painting and a vector. I don't understand your language, Using Google translation, which of-course is not reliable, you have said that the original image was done in Photoshop, come on. That's impossible. You seem to have traced the image from the official source using a vector editor. What is the problem to have it like this? BTW I am not going to revert it, if you want, please go ahead and do it yourself. --Jayarathina (talk) 12:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Również nie rozumiem Twojego języka i korzystam z translatora. Nie pierwszy to i nie setny herb, który zwektoryzowałem i trochę się na tym znam. Cały herb powinien być wykonany w taki sposób jak choćby ten: File:POL Kcynia COA.svg - bez użycia konturu. Przerysowując infułę za pomocą konturu zmieniłeś proporcje pomiędzy poszczególnymi jej elementami - tym samym zmieniłeś herb według własnego gustu. Takie działanie to OR. Poznaniak (dyskusja) 19:19, 19 March 2013 (UTC) P.S. Proszę odpowiadaj na mojej stronie dyskusji, wtedy pojawia się taka żółta ramka z powiadomieniem o Twojej wiadomości.

• Could You upload your version of File:Signum Francisci.svg in File:Signum Francisci corrected.svg or something like that? JDavid (talk) 11:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

The modifications does not have enough change to qualify for a new file. I think that will become a duplicate copy and will be nominated for deletion. And also it is reasonable is to build consensus to keep this version rather than engaging in edit war. :) --Jayarathina (talk) 17:37, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

But what should be consulted? The pattern of CoA is not really a great work, and has some failures. The same we can say about Tower of Pisa, and we don't correct the Tower. A mitre of the CoA has a thicker border, but it's the official pattern why should be change that? I understand that You have corrected the CoA and it's better, but official version is with thick border around mitre. JDavid (talk) 19:53, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Uważam Twój komentarz za wysoce niestosowny. Zdaje się, że nie masz pojęcia co to jest wojna edycyjna. Ponadto nie jesteś organem administracji publicznej aby wydawać decyzje! Twoje nadpisanie pliku było zmianą według własnego uznania, a nie jakąkolwiek decyzją. Powyżej już Ci wyjaśniłem co zrobiłeś źle. Nie mam zamiaru N-ty raz strzępić klawiatury.

Hi Jayarathina

I just seen your vector image drawing skills excellent !!!. There are very few Indian user with expert level in vector graphics,so you may help us by converting some of the Indian state seals in to SVG [4] My humble request .Thank You < 2013 (UTC)
Note: Some of them are already converted
Waiting for your reply cheers Perumalism Chat 16:51, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I am really sorry, I am not that much talented in creating vectors. I just rearrange already existing templates available in commons to create coat-of-arms. I do not know how to "create" new images from scratch. I hope you understand. --Jayarathina (talk) 05:08, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Hola/Hello Jayarathina!

Mira detenidamente este vídeo, así es como yo hago los escudos de armas, es importante trabajar por capas, facilitan mucho el trabajo, y mira especialmente como ajusto el texto en la cinta.

Category:Latin_mottos_in_heraldry

Your edit may have seemed logical, but Category:Latin_mottos_in_heraldry is for mottos outside the shield, while Category:Latin_language_words_in_heraldry is for Latin words actually on the shield, so one is not really a subset of the other... AnonMoos (talk) 09:00, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
