Wikipedia:April Fools' Main Page/Today's Featured Picture/Archive 2010

Please use this page for discussions surrounding the creation of "Today's Featured Picture" for April Fool's day 2010

Areas of work needed to complete the front page are:

Ground rules for this activity along with a list or participants may be found on the Main talk page.

The Mission

In order to get a funny/unusual Featured picture onto the front page, it must be both a great picture and be used in a Wikipedia article.

Action Items

What picture? We need to nominate some and vote on them.
Whatever we choose has to be used in an actual Wikipedia article. Can we write an article that NEEDS a WikiWorld cartoon? Maybe Greg Williams (who draws them for us) is sufficiently notable that we could write a short Bio article on him and illustrate it with a WikiWorld cartoon? Maybe WikiWorld in itself is notable (it's a bit of a self-ref...but maybe that's OK considering that we only need it to get the image accepted).
If we choose to use a WikiWorld cartoon - maybe we want Greg to draw us one especially for the day?
We have to usher it through the nomination process and make sure it actually does get onto the front page on April 1st.
Rule: Pictures appear on the main page only once, so they cannot have been used on the main page before.

Missing square puzzle

I don't know why I didn't think of this one for this past year, not that I'm unhappy with the science fiction house. howcheng {chat} 20:57, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's clearer if a bit larger. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 21:28, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A few

Here are a few i found today while i was bored.

A mathamatic Spirograph
May be in bad taste, but they are definatly not in Kansas
Flaming Cocktails.... need i say more? (damn... already been used but i still think it is funny)
If we want to go with the "this has to be a joke" this 6 fingered hand works perfectly.

Be a clown

This was the one I specifically restored with an eye toward April 1. Opinions? Durova³⁶² 16:22, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copenhagen's new subway April fool's prank

An April fool's day prank in Denmark, regarding Copenhagen's new subway. Apparently, one of her cars accidentally had surfaced on the square in front of the town hall. In reality, it was a retired subway car from the subway of Stockholm cut obliquely, with the front end placed onto the tiling and loose tiles scattered around it.

Hillarious picture, but will it make Featured Picture in time for April Fools? Is it Featured Picture quality?--Found5dollar (talk) 14:07, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, because it's cut off and there's a person in the middle of the picture. Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 03:27, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
