Yes, I saw it. I love those old poster designs. I might go down a rabbit hole of 19th century graphic design because of you. Viriditas (talk) 20:10, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Enjoy it! - Very early 20th century, this one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:17, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:43, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Bootleggers

Very good, glad it made it to the main page. I calculated, looking at the views minus average day views, that 18% of readers who clicked on the painting's article during the time it was on the main page also clicked on the "List of paintings by..." in the See also section. Pretty good indication that adding lists there works well. Watching Jimmy Carter's funeral, met him once, a good guy. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:45, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. Viriditas (talk) 22:08, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
