Overall: @Dumelow: Good article. Though, technically the image used for the nom isn't the article but rather it's a cropped version of it. It's not going to stop me from approving but just something to mention. Though I personally prefer using File:Atzgersdorf, 1230 Vienna, Austria - panoramio (3).jpg instead.

Apartment block at Alterlaa

Thanks for the review Onegreatjoke. Crops are permitted under WP:DYKIMG, I was trying to find a version that showed the unusual shape of the blocks. Posting the alternative here also, happy for either to be used (or none) at the promoter's discretion - Dumelow (talk) 20:23, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer the original image; the church in the foreground of the alt image is distracting. Schwede 66 03:40, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
