Greetings, Today Oct. 1, 2019 is a Tuesday, and calendar here shows Oct. 1 as Saturday. I'm clueless on how to fix, so asking for help here. Regards, JoeHebda (talk) 12:02, 1 October 2019 (UTC) Reply

Nahshon Dion Anderson‎ in Selected Picture list

[edit ]
Latest comment: 6 years ago 1 comment1 person in discussion

In these edits, 70.23.215.46 (talk · contribs · IP contribs · WHOIS) added an image of Nahshon Dion Anderson to the selected picture list. It's not a featured picture and the editor appears to be a SPA around Anderson. Would someone mind reviewing this to see if this makes sense here? There's only one other image on Commons and I don't think it's any better quality. Thanks. Ravensfire (talk) 01:13, 11 February 2020 (UTC) Reply

Not sure how many places it needs to get "put back"; I am only handling pages in Category:Idaho for now. But, please, feel free to list other "U.S." pages that list "State" Portals as a reply to this notice. Mjquinn_id (talk) 02:45, 10 August 2021 (UTC) Reply
