Restriction of POTD to Featured Images is nonsense and against the scope of Commons, Valued Images should also be eligible
Scope of Commons is to collect images for other Wikimedia projects, it's not a photo competition. Desert or beach panorama number 735 may be nice to look at, but adds nothing of value to Commons. On the other hand, an image of a rare flower or bird does, even if it may be not a technically perfect photo. Commons should show on its main page that it follows its scope, not worship pictures that no one is using. Looking at recent VI no one can claim that this would be a step back in quality of the photos.<
Alternatively, two photos of the day should be shown: one to please the Lightroom and Photoshop nerds and one made by people who work for the scope of the project. They deserve to be recognized prominently, too.--Chianti (talk) 13:21, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
