Check out the photos you like, love, and relish from the last two week's worth of New Photos here on WikiTree, then copy and paste them as an answer here to start nominating for next week's round of Photo of the Week!
Selection criteria is subjective. There are only a few guidelines and rules:
-
The photo needs to have been uploaded to WikiTree in the past two weeks. (It's two weeks instead of one week so that we have time to gather and consider nominees.) All the photos on Special:NewImages meet this qualification.
-
It should be a single, non-cropped photograph that includes a person or people.
-
It should be an original family photograph. It should not be scanned from a printed source or copied from another website.
-
The quality of the image is important. Many photos are wonderful but they weren't scanned at a high-enough resolution. The height or width should be at least 500 pixels. More is better.
-
There cannot be copyright disputes. This does not mean that the photo is in the public domain. Copyright holders don't give up ownership when they upload images to WikiTree, as they are required to do on many other websites and most wikis. Uploaders give WikiTree a "license" to use the image. If there's a reasonable question about whether the uploader had the right to give this license the photo will be disqualified.
Here's last week's.
