• Support – I support this nomination, but for obvious reasons it shouldn't be featured for several weeks before or after the marginally superior image of Gilbert below. Choliamb (talk) 03:17, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  @Chioliamb: I presume you mean POTD. I'm co-ordinator of that, as it happened (need to get December sorted soon), but, anyway, was thinking maybe the 125th anniversary of his death, so November 2025. Significant dates are ample to space things out. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs} 08:24, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Drat, I meant Choliamb for the ping. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs} 08:24, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Yes, I wasn't very precise, but I did mean POTD. Wasn't sure how many images were in the hopper for that, since you implied at the VP that there was a bit of a crisis in participation. Cheers, Choliamb (talk) 12:13, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    @Choliamb: We're losing our backlog, but we still have one for the moment. But it's slipping backwards rapidly. We had 12 FPs in all of October if I'm counting right, and POTD goes up every day. The busy period of a few years back will sustain us for a bit, but once we're through that backlog... Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs} 16:16, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
