Valued pictures
Valued pictures (VP) aims to recognize images of high encyclopedic value (frequently abbreviated as EV or enc) on Wikipedia. To draw a rough analogy, VPs are to good articles as featured pictures (FP) are to featured articles. Valued picture candidates go through a seven-day discussion process where users work towards a consensus on whether the nominated image meets the valued picture criteria. As of April 19, 2009 there are 59 valued pictures and 1,727 featured pictures.
