Comment to promoter: Probably needs its image. Probably should appear not on or too close to American Thanksgiving (Nov 24). No objection to a cropped image on the lower right of the main image, where the reeeeeally problematic images are.

Ahem... no? There's a QPQ missing here, @Dr Salvus. Also, @Valereee, what did you mean to say, do you want to run with an image? –LordPeterII (talk) 00:17, 29 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
LordPeterII, sorry, was headed out of town, wanted to get this nominated before I was on the road for several days in a row. Yes, I do want to add the image, and I'll do a QPQ asap, thanks! Valereee (talk) 13:01, 30 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Image provided, QPQ started but awaiting reply from nom. Valereee (talk) 13:53, 30 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Article is certainly fine, but I'm unsure about the image. As far as I know, some more explicit images were voted inappropriate for the main page, even though we normally don't censor. I personally would not be opposed to running the picture, but I believe we may need some discussion or consensus on this. –LordPeterII (talk) 16:15, 31 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
(Oh and yeah Valereee nominating it was totally fine, I was only pointing out to the reviewer that they should not have approved so fast without waiting for the QPQ.) –LordPeterII (talk) 16:17, 31 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
ALT1 ... that critics objected to Dangers of the Mail(detail pictured), alleging government support of lewdness in the 1930s and creation of a hostile work environment in the 2000s?
Mostly just a voice change and some minor ce. I was having a hard time with "was objected to for" in ALT0. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:20, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
ALT1b ... that critics objected to Dangers of the Mail(detail pictured) in the 1930s for government support of lewdness and in the 2000s for creating a hostile work environment?
I like getting rid of 'was objected to', but prefer ALT1b as tighter. Valereee (talk) 12:11, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Dr Salvus, could you review ALT1b? I think this may be languishing due to the ?. Valereee (talk) 19:58, 12 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
