This image is used to designate a featured article on Wikipedia. If it appears in the upper right corner of an article, it indicates that the article successfully passed Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. If the image appears in the left-hand column next to a foreign language, it indicates that the corresponding article in that language has passed that Wikipedia's equivalent of "featured article".

A vector version of this image is also available, and should be used in place of this raster image whenever possible.
Note: this file will not be deleted for this reason, unless it is explicitly nominated for deletion. Deleting this image might break the “attribution path” for the new SVG image, which breaks licenses such as the GFDL.
