User:Fowler&fowler/Images in FA India

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are a total of 71 images in the FA India. Many are part of groups of rotating images, which change every day, so you will not see them all at once, but gradually over a week. As far as I am aware, the article has more images than any other Featured Article. It took over a year to build the consensus for these images, from October 2011 to November 2012, with inputs from dozens editors. It began with admin Saravask's post in section 25, Talk:India/Archive 35, and sections below, to Talk:India/Archive 36, and ended with Talk:India/Archive 37, sections 33 through 38, in November 2012. Pictures marked with a are Wikipedia Featured Pictures, representing some of the best photographs on Wikipedia. Note that the pictures are balanced by region, and in the case of humans, by gender and ethnicity, as much as was possible then.
