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.
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]
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]

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)
