Main page compliment
Hi, it appeared to me like you did a lot of the work in planning how to recognize the Apollo 11 anniversary this week, and I wanted to make sure you saw a compliment from a reader on WP:VPM.

For good and thoughtful comments during a RM discussion. NickCT (talk) 02:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC) |
Hey bud, quick note to let you know I was impressed by the move discussion you raised here. It's sorta fascinating how controversial "Death of..." article title moves can be, even when the logic seems obvious. Perhaps all the controversy that surrounds these talks reflects the emotion that surrounds the subject of death and dying. Don't get discouraged if the RM doesn't work. Emotion often trumps reason over the short term. But in the end, the truth will out. NickCT (talk) 02:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- NickCT, I thank you for the kind words. These discussions are difficult but I believe they are important. It is crucial that we question our own preconceptions; objectivity and NPOV are paramount. I always ask myself, what would an alien species who speak perfect English but have no emotions give as the title of this subject? I like to say that we are all biased and we must actively fight that bias. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 06:24, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Reaper (Van Gogh series)
![]() | On 11 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Reaper (Van Gogh series), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the first painting (pictured) in Vincent van Gogh's 1889 series Reaper may have been gifted to his contemporary artist Paul Gauguin? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Reaper (Van Gogh series). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Reaper (Van Gogh series)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

I am confused about how to tell if a specific FP has been POTD
I was curious to see if my photo (File:Gateway_Generating_Station_rectified.jpg) had ever been a picture of the day. Per the Commons categories, it doesn't appear to have. So I figured maybe it would be in Category:Featured pictures that have not appeared on the Main Page... but this is an en-wiki category, so I don't think the file could be in there. Is there a way to tell whether not a photo has been POTD before? (And, of course, if this hasn't been, is there a nomination process?) jp×g 07:15, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- That files has not been featured on the Main Page. It is in Category:Featured pictures that have not appeared on the Main Page. While this category is en-wiki, it tracks Commons files. Featured pictures have a local en-wiki description page: File:Gateway Generating Station rectified.jpg. It is dutifully created by User:Armbrust when they close the FP nomination as successful. That automatically adds the FP to the category. When the page becomes POTD, a bot adds {{Picture of the day}}. Because of the functionality of {{Featured picture}}, adding {{Picture of the day}}, removes the file from the category.
- tl;dr: everything is working as it should. the file is the category. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:15, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- @JPxG:, as for the selection process, it usually follows the principle of "first come, first serve". Meaning FP that are older are made POTD first. We are currently doing FP that were awarded in late 2019. However, POTD are completely at the discretion of the editors working in the area. Currently that is mostly, Cwmhiraeth and Amakuru. Most FPs are of birds, bank notes, and U.S. presidents and coat of arms. There is not much variety. I think Amakuru and Cwmhiraeth may appreciate the uniqueness of this photo and want to use it sooner than later. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:39, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- And the article is a GA too: Gateway Generating Station. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:41, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- Well it is a relatively recent picture, but it will provide variety so I will list it to appear soon and you will get a notification on your talk page of when that may happen. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:50, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

File:Vincent van Gogh - Wheatfield with a reaper - Google Art Project.jpg
Since I just realised you were asking about nominating this a while ago... So, turns out one of the images was a featured picture, and, hence, Reaper (Van Gogh series) is due to be on the main page late June.
Actually, do you think you could help me with something related to that? Wikipedia:Picture_of_the_day/Unused#Doubts_as_to_whether_this_is_the_preferred_version has two Van Goghs in it, and they vary wildly from the other copies of the same painting from the Van Gogh museum. Think you could have a look?
There's also a third one, but I don't know if there's much we can do about it, barring writing an article on it. I suppose, if you do, I can guarantee the article a spot on POTD. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.8% of all FPs 00:57, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- I think the first two maybe good cases for delist and replace. There are actually a few options for the one with crows. The third painting just needs an article. I might be able to help with that this summer. I will put it on my to do list for new article creations. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 20:27, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Featured picture scheduled for POTD
Hi Coffeeandcrumbs,

Eva Le Gallienne (January 11, 1899 – June 3, 1991) was a British-born American stage actress, producer, director, translator, and author. A Broadway star by age 21, Le Gallienne gave up her Broadway appearances to devote herself to founding the Civic Repertory Theatre, in which she was both director, producer, and lead actress. Noted for her boldness and idealism, she became a pioneering figure in the American repertory movement, which enabled today's off-Broadway. A versatile and eloquent actress herself (playing roles ranging from Peter Pan to Hamlet), Le Gallienne also became a respected stage director, coach, producer and manager.
