- Reason
- I understand this is somewhat of an unorthodox (and meta) submission, but after going through WP:WIAFP, I think it fits. This is a high-res screenshot of the multi-language portal at wikipedia
.org taken in 2018. The image is centered, well-constructed, and gives a pretty good summary of what Wikipedia's about. It immediately establishes Wikipedia as "the free encyclopedia," provides the viewer with information on what languages are available and which language Wikipedias have more articles, and at the bottom of the image gives information on other Wikimedia Foundation projects. I think the webpage is laid out pretty well aesthetically, but regardless, this image certainly satisfies the "highly informative" part of criteria three. Obviously, the license is free, and it adds EV to articles related to Wikipedia. Additionally, this is one of the best licensable examples of a webserver directory index. - Articles in which this image appears
- Wikipedia, List of Wikipedias, Webserver directory index
- FP category for this image
- probably Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Engineering and technology/Electronics

- Oppose Screenshots should not be featured IMO. --Muhammad(talk) 08:39, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose – Lacks visual interest and EV. – Sca (talk) 14:12, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Visual interest is subjective, but I strongly disagree that the image doesn't have EV within the scopes of both Wikipedia and webserver directory index. And besides, criterion three says that an image does not need to be aesthetically pleasing so long as it's highly informative. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 04:54, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose – Self-referential. --Janke | Talk 17:58, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I agree that it's self-referential, but seeing as File:Webcomic xkcd - Wikipedian protester.png is featured, I fail to see how that's disqualifying. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 04:43, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
