Original – A screenshot of the multi-language portal for Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, taken in 2018
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.
