Every important object on the picture should be sharp, considering the idea of the image
Images should be currently exposed

Quality measurement in terms of gender approach
edit
| How we measure quality in terms of gender approach within an article?
|
| Content
|
- Title: To name a woman’s article by her maiden name and then clarify whether she acquired a married name in the article.
- Women are not defined by their status as a male companion: the reference to being a woman, daughter, mother or wife may appear in the personal life section, but not necessarily in the introduction. Start introductions by describing her contributions, activities and achievements, not her gender, or family status.
- Do not use the term "woman of", use "husband and wife" or "husband" or "partner" or "partners" according to the circumstances. You can say "is married to someone" instead of "is the wife of" because a woman does not belong to a man.
- Do not give prominence to the civil status of the biographee. This data may be mentioned in the body of the article, as it is done in the biographies of men.
- Do not use the term "female" in the description: eg female writer, women's writing.
- Do not use nicknames as Amalita or Anita and name the biographee by his surname, as it is done in the biographies of men

| How we measure quality in terms of Human Rights and Argentine culture promotion?
|
| Content
|
Human Rights
- Introducing the historical context referring to the events as Crimes against Humanity in the first parragraph.
- Referring to the period with categories like State terrorism, civil-military dictatorship, avoiding referring to the period with personal terminology that may lead to a bias affecting the content.
- Using secondary sources that make reference to current research on the period. Using research done by Human Rights organizations as a frame.
- Using primary sources that make reference to national trials and verdicts, governmental decisions, treaties in the frame of the international system of protection and promotion of Human Rights (UN and OAS)
- In the case of biographies of Disappeared Detainees, one must refer to the person pointing out his/her participation in political organizations of the time without using words such as “subversive”, since that term was used by the civil-military dictatorship to condemn social activism.
Argentine culture promotion
- Define the origin of the cultural tradition that is being described in the first paragraph.
- If the articles are translated from the Spanish Wikipedia, maintain the nomenclature of origin.
- Understand the term of culture as traditions, gastronomy and distinguished people from Argentine history.
- If possible, avoid comparisons with other cultural tradition out of context
