Featured sounds is a list of sounds that add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being so striking to the ear that users will want to read the accompanying article. Exemplifying the idea of audio as the "medium of the imagination", the sounds featured on Wikipedia:Featured sounds should illustrate a Wikipedia article in such a way as to add significantly to that article. Sounds that are striking but do not illustrate an article may in future become featured on the Wikimedia Commons, but there is currently no mechanism set up for this.
If you believe a sound meets the criteria to be featured, please add it below to the "New nominations" section; conversely, if you believe that a sound should be unfeatured, add it to the "Nominations for removal" section.
If a nomination is listed here and has a majority (at least 66.6% or 2/3) of supporting declarations (including that of the original nominator) and the general consensus is in its favor, it can be added to a Wikipedia:Featured sounds list.
See Wikipedia:Media for some information on dealing with audio on Wikipedia. For a general list of sounds on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Sound/list.

[edit] Procedure
[edit] How to add your nomination
[edit] Step 1 - Create subpage
Create a page to place the article on; this page needs to be a subpage of Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. To create your own subpage, add a title for the image you want to nominate in the form below (for example Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Memphis Blues) and click the "Create new nomination" button.
If nominating a multi-part work, such as a symphony, copy the "multi-listen" template as necessary for each audio file, or paste in a multi-listen template if one already exists in an article.
[edit] Step 2 - Add your subpage to the candidate list
Add the newly created subpage to the top of Featured sound candidate list (direct link). Use this format: {{Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/YOURSUBPAGE}}
[edit] Step 3 - Mark your candidate!
- Add {{FSC}} to the nominated sound's page. This inserts the featured sound candidate template, to let the original contributor and other interested parties know that the sound is up for voting.
If you have problems formatting your nomination, someone else will fix it, don't worry! If you wish to simply add your nomination to this page without creating the subpage, that is OK as someone else will create the subpage. The important piece of information is the pointer to the sound, and the reason for the nomination.
[edit] Supporting and opposing
- If you think a sound would make a good featured sound, write Support followed by your reasons.
- If you think there's a problem with the nomination, write Oppose followed by your reasons. Where possible, objections should provide a specific rationale that can be addressed.
- To change your vote, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.
[edit] Nominations
Place nominations in this section. Please add new nominations at the top of the list.
This set of sound files is the entire Water Music Suite in D Major by George Frideric Handel. It is a good quality set, and it also has one very famous movement, II. Alla Hornpipe. This sound file appears in Water Music (Handel).
- Nominate and support. Xclamation point 04:06, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Please give the details of the recording. --Kleinzach 06:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- I checked the source for this - Archive.org gives no details as to who recorded it, when, or where. Barring that information, I think we're going to have to presume this is in copyright and delete it. (Archive.org is a good source, but does need to be used with some caution - ever seen how on Commons people will upload copyrighted recordings of PD-old works as PD-old, not realising that the performers could also claim a copyright? Same thing can happen there.) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 09:31, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have emailed the uploader, asking about what license it is, and about who the performers are. Xclamation point 17:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
A highly notable operatic soprano sings Giacomo Puccini's Tosca, and does it divinely. While not perfect, given the year, it's still very good indeed. This is one of the last recordings of Destinn during her prime: She was put under house arrest during WWI, and would not be able to return to the stage until 1919. The gap sent her career into a terminal decline, and, as far as I'm aware, there are no good recordings after 1914.
- Nominate and support. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 04:55, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support Thank you for uploading Destinnová, great for Wikipedia. The recording isn´t perfect, but her voice is simply wonderful.--Vejvančický (talk) 13:24, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

This is Bush's last State of the Union Address, and it is good quality (compared to some other SOTU addresses). It appears in 2008 State of the Union Address, and is from the White House website. Because it is a work of the Federal Government, it is public domain under Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 105 of the United States Code.
[edit] Nominations for removal
Place nominations for removal in this section. Please add new nominations at the top of the list.
[edit] Older nominations
Old nominations should be archived when they are removed from this page.
When PROMOTED, perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FSC/subpage:
- '''Promoted Example.ogg''' --~~~~
- If there are multiple files promoted, e.g. a multi-movement symphony, list all the files promoted. (You may use Promoted all if no alternative versions were suggested.)
- Replace the {{FSC}} tag on the file description page with {{FeaturedSound|"Sound name"}} ((the "Sound name" parameter will link back to the FSC discussion)) and remove the {{FSC}} tag from any other suggested versions.
- If an alternate version of the originally nominated file is promoted, make sure that all articles contain the Featured Sound version, as opposed to the original.
- Add the file to the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured sounds and update the count. For symphonies and other multi-part works, create a new section for them. Use the multi-listen template as provided in the nomination. If necessary, tidy up the description to make it more accurate, informative, and interesting. If in a section that organised by year, add '''YEAR''' – before the title.
- Add a notice to Wikipedia:Goings-on using the format {{*sound|filename.ogg|title}}.
- Add the file to Template:Announcements/New featured pages (newest on top). Use the format {{*sound|filename.ogg|title}}. For multi-part works, Just use *[[Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Nomination|Title (in X parts)]]
Notify User:OhanaUnited on his talk page, as a courtesy to the Wikipedia Signpost. Use the format {{*sound|filename.ogg|Title|([[Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Nomination|nom]])}} For multipart works, use the format [[Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Nomination|Title]] then list the files with a format along the lines of {{*sound|filename.ogg|Movement I}}.- Notify the nominator with {{subst:PromotedFSC|Examplefilename.ogg|ExampleTitle}}. Be sure to notify all co-nominators.
- Example: {{subst:PromotedFSC|Turdus-migratorius-003.ogg|Song of the American robin}}.
- If the creator of the sound file is a Wikipedian, notify them with {{subst:CreatedFS|Examplefilename.ogg|ExampleTitle}}.
- Example: {{subst:CreatedFS|Turdus-migratorius-003.ogg|Song of the American robin}}
- If appropriate, notify the uploader of the file as well, using {{subst:UploadedFS|Examplefilename.ogg|ExampleTitle}}.
- Example: {{subst:UploadedFS|Turdus-migratorius-003.ogg|Song of the American robin}}
- Once all the above is done, move the nomination entry to the bottom of the January archive. This is done by simply moving the line {{Wikipedia:Feature sound candidates/Sound name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive.
- If the archive is empty add {{FSCArchiveBar}} to the top of the archive.
When NOT promoted, perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FSC/subpage:
- '''Not promoted''' --~~~~
- Remove the {{FSC}} tag from the file and any other suggested versions.
- Move the nomination entry to the bottom of the January archive. This is done by simply moving the line {{Wikipedia:Feature sound candidates/Sound name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive.
- If the archive is empty add {{FSCArchiveBar}} to the top of the archive.
When DEMOTED, perform the following:
- Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FSC/subpage:
- '''Demoted Example.ogg''' --~~~~
- Replace the {{FeaturedSound|Sound name}} tag on the file with {{FormerFeaturedSound|Sound name}}.
- Move the nomination entry to the bottom of the January archive. This is done by simply moving the line {{Wikipedia:Feature sound candidates/Sound name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive.
- If the archive is empty add {{FSCArchiveBar}} to the top of the archive.
For OTHER SITUATIONS:
- This section sets out basic advice for votes that replace a pre-existing featured sound with a new file, and similar.
- Generally, if a new file is now a featured sound, even if it replaces an old one, go through the full promotion procedure for it unless it's only a minor change to the old file, such as a slightly-improved restoration. In that case, just notify the nominator.
- Do what seems appropriate, based on the vote's outcome, using the instructions above as a rough guide. Try to notify anyone affected.
- State what happened at the bottom of the nomination page, in bold, and sign it.
- Move the nomination entry to the bottom of the January archive. This is done by simply moving the line {{Wikipedia:Feature sound candidates/Sound name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive.
- If the archive is empty add {{FSCArchiveBar}} to the top of the archive.
