Picture peer review was a staging area for potential Featured Picture Candidates (FPCs). This review was a useful "spot check" before making a formal FPC nomination – a working area where you can get some creative feedback, request help with useful pictures that might need minor editing, or advice with finding the best article that they illustrate – giving that nomination its best possible chance of promotion. Note: "peer review" usually implies a group of authoritative reviewers who are equally familiar with and expert in the subject. The process represented by this page is not a formal academic peer review in that sense. Images that undergo this process cannot be assumed to have greater authority than any other. For general advice on editing pictures prior to uploading, see Wikipedia:How to improve image quality. For the specific criteria against which FPCs are judged, see Wikipedia:What is a featured picture? To see recent changes, purge the page cache
