Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Cygnus olor (Mute swan) - taking off
Used in	Global usage
Review (criteria)	Comment Scope is fine but the scope-link should be to some category or grouping of a small number of mute swans taking off into flight. There are 38,757 images of seagulls; 30,869 images of squirrels (always so cute) and 13,959 images of mute swans (Cygnus olor) in Commons. Whenever the VI nom comes from such large numbers of images, the scope-link needs to be focused to a manageable number in order to effectively review the image for VI. --GRDN711 (talk) 03:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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).

• 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:

• 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.

• 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.

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.
