Greetings, Today Oct. 1, 2019 is a Tuesday, and calendar here shows Oct. 1 as Saturday. I'm clueless on how to fix, so asking for help here. Regards, JoeHebda (talk) 12:02, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nahshon Dion Anderson in Selected Picture list[edit]
In these edits, 70.23.215.46(talk·contribs·WHOIS) added an image of Nahshon Dion Anderson to the selected picture list. It's not a featured picture and the editor appears to be a SPA around Anderson. Would someone mind reviewing this to see if this makes sense here? There's only one other image on Commons and I don't think it's any better quality. Thanks.
