From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why the hell is this obviously political picture being considered as a POTD?

Because it's a Featured Picture and almost all FPs become POTD unless it's obviously inappropriate for the Main Page (e.g., Image:Michele Merkin 1.jpg) or it won't fit (e.g., Image:Earth-Moon.png). howcheng {chat} 16:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
It's been removed for this day. The issue wasn't really that it was political, the U.S. presidential primaries (more specifically, the Iowa caucus) is January 3. It would be a Bad Idea to have an active candidate who is running in that caucus to be featured on January 3's Main Page. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 01:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
