You had already reviewed this, but I was able to get a newer image for the locomotive. I would like for you to see if it's okay. Jude Halley ^talk/_contribs 22:02, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

I would say its better because its more colourful than the previous one. (I also love how we both have usernames with the same first 2 letters, which I didn't notice until now) JuniperChill (talk) 22:57, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for improving article quality in January! - 20 January is the 100th birthday of David Tudor (see my story) and the 300th birthday of Bach's cantata Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen, BWV 13, if we go by date instead of occasion as he would have thought, so see my story for last Sunday, and celebrate ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:03, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for improving article quality in February! - My story today is again about Percy Grainger (FA by Brian Boulton), this time with a video that surprised me. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:11, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Today's main page features four biographies I helped to bring there, two women and two men, three opera singers (one pictured) and an actor, - a record for me, I believe ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:57, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi there! Firstly thank you for promoting my hook. Could you tell me why it wasn't placed in a pictured slot? I know everyone wants that position, but I don't see many animals (especially invertebrates) featured as pictures when prepping. On a more personal note, my last nominated snail article also didn't get to be shown with photo and I know I won't work on another pictured snail article for a while.

It's of course up to you, who's more unbiased than me. I appreciate regardless that N. pulligera gets to be shown to the wider community.

Cheers! Barbalalaika 🐌 08:30, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Barbalalaika: The thing is, more than 1 in 9 DYK noms feature a picture which is the reason why (like you said) not all of them end up with one. I've learnt about it when I was reviewing a DYK nom and even asked why the nomination was promoted without the image. However, I didn't know there weren't many animal images featured on DYK, so I'll try to get one of them promoted with one (not necessarily yours). Looking at Wikipedia:Recent additions, I see two animal images, including one from yesterday. Of course, it depends on the promoter's choice, just like with the hook if multiple are proposed. Also, I'm very busy this month so I may only make little to no edits every day. JuniperChill (talk) 16:51, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

No problem, thank you for answering! Barbalalaika 🐌 17:47, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for this one, and for improving article quality in March! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:01, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Your very welcome!

Fun fact: I created that article the moment I was browsing thru BBC about charity/second-hand related goods and when I Googled her name plus 'charity', it returned sources from the Guardian/Telegraph. She's also appeared on the BBC several times! I also have plans to get that to GA at some point.

And I even created another article with the name 'Caroline' in the same month, which also has something to do with charity, has also appeared on BBC (and also from UK), except that I'm leaving it as a stub for now. This was totally a coincidence seeing as I created both at a short notice! JuniperChill (talk) 23:15, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
