Please read those criteria before submitting an image to help cut down on the number of candidates that have a low chance of success. Make sure you understand the concept of <a href="/wiki/Commons:Valued_image_scope" title="Commons:Valued image scope">scope</a> and how to choose the correct scope for your nomination. </p><p>Please make sure that your proposed image fulfills all of the necessary criteria <i>before</i> nominating it. For example, if it needs to be geocoded, do that in advance. If no appropriate categories exist, create and link them beforehand. Although some reviewers may help by fixing minor issues during the review process, it is your responsibility as nominator to ensure your image ticks all the necessary boxes <i>before</i> you propose it.
