- Comment to Promoter - Can this be placed #1 in the queue with picture? Thanks!--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:54, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Doug Coldwell: According to the DYK rules, you will need to include the photograph in the article if you want it to be included in the hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:28, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: The photograph is next to Panorama of Niagara Falls by Langenheim and has as a caption "#2 of the 5 images" - will that work? Maybe the caption should be changed - what do you think? Otherwise it doesn't have to be #1 in the queue. It happens to be my 500th DYK. Thanks!--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:38, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
- So it is, I didn't see it. Congratulations! Your articles are always interesting and worthwhile. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:48, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
