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]
Image provided, QPQ started but awaiting reply from nom. Valereee (talk) 13:53, 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]
(Oh and yeah Valereee nominating it was totally fine, I was only pointing out to the reviewer that they should not have approved so fast without waiting for the QPQ.) –LordPeterII (talk) 16:17, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
LordPeterII, no worries, I'm all for scrutinizing! Valereee (talk) 01:06, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • How about:
    • ALT1 ... that critics objected to Dangers of the Mail (detail pictured), alleging government support of lewdness in the 1930s and creation of a hostile work environment in the 2000s?
  • Mostly just a voice change and some minor ce. I was having a hard time with "was objected to for" in ALT0. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:20, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • ALT1b ... that critics objected to Dangers of the Mail (detail pictured) in the 1930s for government support of lewdness and in the 2000s for creating a hostile work environment?
I like getting rid of 'was objected to', but prefer ALT1b as tighter. Valereee (talk) 12:11, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dr Salvus, could you review ALT1b? I think this may be languishing due to the ?. Valereee (talk) 19:58, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Valereee, the Alt1b is fine. Dr Salvus 20:36, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
