Nominations for The Fish Portal
This is the nominations page for "Selected article of the month", "Selected fish of the month", "Selected picture of the month", and "Selected quote of the month" sections of the Fish Portal. Here is how it works:
Scope:
* "Selected article of the month" must be fish-related, but not an article about a particular fish (species, genus, family, etc.). To give you some idea, the article may be about fish in culture, fish biology, fishkeeping, fishing or fisheries science.
* "Selected fish of the month" must be about a particular fish (species, genus, family, group, etc.).
* "Selected picture of the month" is any picture from wikipedia or wikimedia commons that is related to fish.
* "Selected quote of the month" is any quote related to fish.
To make a nomination, just add the article/picture/quote in the nominations lists. If it is a picture, add names of photographer and uploader as credits. Please nominate only pictures with proper copyrights/licenses or a public domain image.
* Each person may nominate up to THREE items per section. For example, you cannot add more than three articles to the "Selected fish of the month" list. (as there are 4 sections, your maximun nominations is 3x4 = 12 items)
* If you have created or contributed extensively to the article/picture yourself, please add "yes" in "self-nomination" cell.
To vote for an item, just add your name in the "Votes" cell of that item
* Each person may vote for ONE item per section.
* You may change your vote anytime.
* You are not allowed to vote for your self-nominated article/picture.
* The nomination with the most vote in each section will be presented in the portal at the beginning of the month and it will be removed from the nominations lists.
* If two or more items got the same amount of votes, the item higher on the list will be selected
* The Template:fishportal will be posted in the talk page of the selected article/picture to congratulate and show appreciation to the article/picture's contributors. See instruction how to use the template here
* When the item you voted was selected, you may (and should) vote for a new one. So you are recommended to check this page at the beginning of each month.
