Description : Original composition based on Pachelbel's Canon in D Major for w:List of variations on Pachelbel's Canon
- Gallery: Commons:Featured media/Music
Info created by Theleekycauldron - uploaded by Theleekycauldron - nominated by Theleekycauldron -- I'll be fully honest, I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of Commons, so if this isn't the kind of thing that normally makes it to featured sounds, I'll happily take eat that crow and be on my way. This is a composition I made for an article I wrote, walking through the bassline, chord progression, and melody of w:Pachelbel's Canon as applied across multiple genres, to illustrate the piece's versatility. I think the piece, which would not be the first synthetically generated piano composition to make FM/Music on Commons, is pretty nifty, but that's up to y'all :) Theleekycauldron (talk) 10:10, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Description : Dramatised version of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. The original recording has been on the en.Wikipedia page since 2014, and 10 years later I decided the audio (recorded using a very dull mic in a non-sound-proofed room) could be enhanced significantly with Adobe's tools for quality and audibility, and added sound effects (Creative Commons 0 licensed) for atmosphere.

Closing a featured media promotion request
[edit]The bot
[edit]Note that the description below is for manual closure, this is mostly not needed anymore as there exists a bot (FeaturedMediaBot) that counts the votes and handles the process below. However after the bot has counted the votes a manual review step is used to make sure the count is correct before the bot again picks up the work.
Manual procedure
[edit]Any experienced user may close requests.
- In Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate media, then [edit].
Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
(for example see Commons:Featured media candidates/File:Tverskaya Street in Moscow, Russia (May 1896).webm). See also {{FMC-results-reviewed}}.
{{FMC-results-reviewed|support=x|oppose=x|neutral=x|featured=("yes" or "no")|gallery=xxx (leave blank if "featured=no")|sig=~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate media template and add after the media tag
featured or not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:example.ext]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:example.ext]], featured === - Save your edit.
- If it is featured:
- Add the media to the list of the four most recently featured media of an appropriate category of Commons:Featured media, list as the first one and delete the last one, so that the number is four again.
- Also add the media to one of the Featured media galleries corresponding to the list you just added it to.
- Add the template {{FM_promoted|featured=1}} to the media description page.
- If it was an alternative media, use the subpage/com-nom parameter: For example, if File:Foo.webm was promoted at Commons:Featured media candidates/File:Bar.webm, use {{FM_promoted|featured=1|com-nom=Bar.webm}}
- If the media is already featured on another wikipedia, just ignore that and add the template.
- Add == FM promotion ==
{{FMpromotion|File:example.ext}} to the Talk Page of the nominator AND {{FMpromotedUploader|File:example.ext}} to the talk page of uploader.
- As the last step (whether the media is featured or not; including {{FMX}}ed, {{FMD}}ed and withdrawn nominations), open Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination you've just finished closing. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured media candidates/File:example.ext}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured media candidates/Log/August 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
Archiving a withdrawn nomination
[edit]- In Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate media , then [edit].
In the purpose that the FMCBot will not mark withdrawn nominations with a "to be reviewed" template and put them in Category:Featured media candidates awaiting closure review just like if they were on the usual list, put the following "no" template:
{{FMC-results-reviewed|support=X|oppose=X|neutral=X|featured=no|gallery=|sig=--~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate media template and add after the media tag
not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:example.ext]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:example.ext]], not featured === - Save your edit.
- Open Commons:Featured media candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured media candidates/File:example.ext}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured media candidates/Log/August 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
