DYK prep promotions needed

Crisco, the two-hour warning went up at WT:DYK a little while ago, and there are five preps awaiting promotion. Not sure whether you'll be on before the next move to the main page is scheduled, but if you are on and see that the queues are empty, a promotion or two would certainly be welcome. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:11, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I missed the first one, but I got a couple others. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 18:14, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It really helps. Can I ask you to take a quick look at Template:Did you know nominations/Ali Akbar Aboutorabi Fard? There appears to be an objection to the image having to do with watermarks, and I'd appreciate it if you could weigh in: the nomination had been ticked before the objection, and having someone who knows something about the issue (I was pinged but I don't) would be great.

Another DYK

Having some spare time with Tillman done, I'm staying on the Dark Side (they pay better) with Cincinnati Musical Center half dollar. If you've never heard of the Cincinnati Musical Center, there's a reason for that. Could you do the usuals?--Wehwalt (talk) 21:00, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My reason for switching to the dark side. Sure thing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 21:07, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Union Films

Hi, I saw that you restored a JPG version of Union Films logo. Why do you think a JPG scan should be better when the original was clearly line art (to be printed/visualised black and white)? Using JPEG here goes against WP:PIFU. Regards, kashmiri ^TALK 11:43, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As I said when I removed the superseded template on Commons, JPGs render sharper than PNGs on Wikipedia. PNGs have an awful blurry look. (an SVG would have the same issue, but at least that would be scalable) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:29, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Romances TFA

Hello Crisco 1492! I'm very content about Romances being TFA on Feb. 14 (especially since another I tried to get FA failed). Just a question, would it be okay if I suggest a picture on the blurb? Erick (talk) 18:44, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not too sure that any of the images on Commons are free (hence my hidden note) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 18:47, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah okay that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers! Erick (talk) 18:53, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The "Elf cross" as protection against malevolent elves.

Hafspajen (talk) 21:38, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly a popular subject. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:07, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can you snatch the ceiling? [1] Hafspajen (talk) 00:54, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not those flowers, [but not bad], and we don't have them. This is also good. Hafspajen (talk) 01:00, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And this is a rather excentric tortoise trainer. Sorry - we have him already. File:Osman Hamdi Bey - The Tortoise Trainer - Google Art Project.jpg Hafspajen (talk) 01:04, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I could get the full resolution, but I'll try later. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:05, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, isn't that ceiling 3D? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:07, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WEll, I asked if it was possible (ceiling). Our tortoise trainer is rather crappy. And the flowers are good. Hafspajen (talk) 01:08, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's great!!! Hafspajen (talk) 03:59, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Big money, big bologna

Hi Crisco- Just got back from four long scanning days at the Smithsonian. Only world currency this trip and I'll have some goodies up soon. There is an editor on Large Denominations of US Currency who insists on adding bogus images of fake US bonds. They insist that these are the notes that the Fed and BEP never told anyone about due to "secrecy". Would you mind having a quick look at the three images posted [2] and let me know if you think they meet criteria for deletion (improper claim of fair use, no license in connection to the original website, improper attribution of authorship to government agencies, etc...). Many thanks.--Godot13 (talk) 22:38, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Have nominated all three, referring to the Federal Reserve's announcement. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:52, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Haha, like the title change on the section... Many thanks!--Godot13 (talk) 23:58, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Always a pleasure. Really curious about the new currency! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:01, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Australia (pre-1960 Federal Reserve), Canada (pre-1935 Bank of Canada copyright), Czech notes with art by Mucha, unusual siege notes, remote places (e.g., European Pacific and African colonies), and a few crazy denominations.--Godot13 (talk) 00:20, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
      Enough ammo to maybe sign up for that silly little competition...[reply]
      Oooh! (What's the copyright on the Zimbabwe dollar?) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:25, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      Zimbabwe issued that note about a decade ago? Can't imagine that would be PD yet, unless the country has no copyright on currency.--Godot13 (talk) 00:29, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      I've been looking for that online, and can't find anything. If they are PD... well, that would be something to see. 100 billion dollars and whatnot. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:32, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

100,000,000,000,000...--Godot13 (talk) 00:49, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, it was under "money". So if we can get some of those... you and Sca were talking about post-WWI Germany, and these are almost as bad. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:56, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Federal Reserve Bonds 1934

They are not necessary. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:24, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One half of me still thinks they're real, believe it or not. Why haven't you nominated the $50,000 one. :1 --Hans Barbosa (talk) 00:37, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because I didn't see it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:47, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I don't want you to delete the $500,000,000 image. I need for a sub-userpage.

Nevermind my last comment. I do not need the picture anymore. Thank you. --Hans Barbosa (talk) 16:02, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Chris,
Can you see Joseph Adler (rabbi)'s deleted edits and say was there anything for a new article to be created? Like some refs. If yes, can you link it to me as I am not having mop. Thanks in advance.. - The Herald (here I am) 13:12, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
