Portal talk:India/Selected picture candidates

Promotion criteria
What should be the promotion criteria for candidates that don't receive any vote other than nominator's (like the iiit-b image now). — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 12:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think, it should be remained on the portal page itself and to be waited until other's response. Shyam  ( T / C ) 13:20, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Agree with Shyam, but we should fix a maximum time limit (just in case). After that, it should fail. Exceptions, of course, are for featured material.-- thund e rboltz(Deepu) 05:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, lets fix a time period for unsuccessful promotion if it does not get a single vote other than the nominator. I think, 15 days are fine. One more thing, the person who promotes the featured picture should not vote here. Shyam  ( T / C )
 * Even I was wondering why we have this as a part of the procedure. I have changed the procedure to reflect this. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 17:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Nishi tribal new version


The top image, currently an IPFP, was put up for FP and gained a consensus. I was wondering if we could shift the IPFP on to the new image, so that the older one could be marked for deletion. - doniv 08:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 10:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Many more selected pictures
As it can be seen, I have added four more noms for SPC. I had more in mind, but am restraining myself as it is suggested that too many noms shouldn't be placed simultaneously. Should I wait before other noms, or go ahead with other noms (because I feel that it doesn't take much time to evaluate images). I eventually want to start a daily scheduling of images on the portal. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 10:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Are these other pictures you speak of, from WP:INMAP?--thunderboltz(Deepu) 14:01, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. A lot of them. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 14:42, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * If we think of posting them for week-length on the portal page, they may not appear as good candidates. But once we start seeing them as images that will appear for a day only, the outlook changes completely. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 20:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think we should wait until we have enough images for fixing images on daily basis. Shyam  ( T / C ) 09:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that once there are 25+ selected images, we can go for daily rotation. This would require images like India railway schematic map.svg getting promoted (which is unlikely if no one else votes). Personally, I feel that if the roadway image is good enough, so is the railway one. Definitely I won't queue them up consecutively for the main page of the portal, and would intersperce with other selected images. I think if other images from WP:INMAP, and a few others that I have in mind, are promoted, we can get real close to the daily rotation schedule. It would be great as I don't know of any other portal that does it. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 10:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
