Peter Obi

[edit]

Hi King of Hearts,

I am rewriting the article Peter Obi here. Before I started the expansion, copyediting, etc, I have planned on taking it to GA. Now the problem is, that there isn't any good photo for it. Can you help me get one? At least a visible and good image for the GA. You may be busy but feel free and comfortable to try whenever you have time, it can wait (though I want it like today-yesterday). I trust your skill and talent. Cheers!Safari ScribeEdits!

Unfortunately, I don't really know a good way to get Nigerian photos beyond searching the usual free-content repositories. You could try to check Flickr for CC-licensed photos or Youtube for CC-licensed videos (from which you can capture a screenshot), but be careful of license laundering. -- King of ♥ 17:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Corbie

[edit]

Obviously an unintentional error but I would just like to note that Corbie is a female used she/her pronouns during her time on Wikipedia. --ARoseWolf 13:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah sorry, will note that for the future. -- King of ♥ 17:52, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gowanus Canal

The Gowanus Canal is a 1.8-mile-long (2.9 km) canal in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, on the westernmost portion of Long Island. It was created in the mid–19th century from local tidal wetlands and freshwater streams, and by the end of that century was very polluted due to heavy industrial use. Most industrial tenants had stopped using the canal by the middle of the 20th century, but it remained one of the most polluted bodies of water in the United States. Its proximity to Manhattan and upper-class Brooklyn neighborhoods has attracted waterfront redevelopment in recent years, alongside attempts at environmental cleanup. It was designated a Superfund site in 2009. This five-segment panoramic photograph shows the Gowanus Canal as viewed from Union Street Bridge in 2021, looking northeastward towards Downtown Brooklyn.
