[edit] Procedure

[edit] Finding good candidates

Look for an image on Wikipedia (or Wikimedia commons) that is related to Molecular or Cellular biology that you think is very good and would be suitable for use as the selected image. This image should be of high quality and resolution, be pleasing to the eye (however, de gustibus non disputandum), and should have a correct copyright tag and photo credit.

[edit] How to add your nomination

1. Click on the "Edit"-button for the "Current nominations" section.
2. At the top of this page (above the other candidates) type (replace FILENAME with the filename that you are nominating): === [[:Image:FILENAME]] ===
3. Below this new line, add your reasons for nominating the image and then sign your nomination with ~~~~. If you created this picture, type "self-nomination". You can add a thumbnail of the image to the nomination page by inserting [[Image:FILENAME|thumb|right]].

[edit] Supporting and opposing

• If you approve of a picture, write "Support" below the reason why this picture was nominated, followed by your reasons for supporting it.
  • A nomination is considered a vote in support, so nominators don't need to add another vote to their nominations.
• If you oppose a nomination, write "Oppose" below the list of supports, followed by the reasons for your objection. Where possible, objections should provide a specific rationale that can be addressed.
  • To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.

• Oppose needs an SVG version and why does it have a copyright notice if it has been released under a free license? 98.166.139.216 (talk) 00:24, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
