The image of Fried is not very good

You can barely even see his face in the first photo. I suggest a photo with a better view of him on the mound or something of that nature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.242.244.73 (talk) 20:36, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, there aren't any better copyright-free photos of him available to use, so it's that one or nothing. Sorry. BilCat (talk) 20:40, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My nomination of this page for FA

Please note that my nomination is mostly procedural; although I did edit the article, it was so long ago and changed so little that it makes little impact to the page. I also decided to nominate it for featured article instead because I consider this page's quality to be near fellow FAs.

On another note, if you consider this page to be too un-illustrated to be FA, please note the discussion above (The image of Fried…). Thank you. NotReallySoroka (talk) 03:31, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make it clear, I am fairly familiar with Fried. --NotReallySoroka (talk) 03:31, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NotReallySoroka, drive by FA noms are frowned upon. Consider how WP:FAC says Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article before nominating it. You hadn't edited this article until today. If you want to improve this article, incorporate those comments at the FA nom and try WP:GAN first. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:18, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
