 * Symbol possible vote.svg New enough (created by Piotrus on 22 July 2016), long enough (1,908 "readable prose size"), fully referenced. Hook fine, verified against online source. QPQ done. Image is appropriately licensed but is not used in the article. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:04, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Because it is a good thumb for the front page, but lacking for the article where we have better but more busy images. Is this a problem? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  10:01, 25 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Per WP:DYKIMG: Pictures and videos accompanying the DYK hook should be: ... already in the article. So we have four choices:
 * We can drop the image, and run the hook without it;
 * We can add the image to the article;
 * We can run with the image that is in the article (right);
 * We can invoke WP:IAR and run with the image

 * I'd vote for 4, but if anybody has a problem with it, we can add the image to the article for the few days. It's gaming the system, yes, but if there is a stupid rule that interferes with the image/article, well, that's one way of dealing with it. Could of course start the discussion about changing the rule, but I don't have the time right now. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:37, 27 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Piotrus, Hawkeye7, another option would be to crop the image in the article, taking the leftmost doll with the ax (there's no need for the wreath above it or the table below it), or the left half of the image with four dolls (cropping out the green one); DYK allows cropped versions of images that are shown in full in the article. I don't think IAR is necessary when a valid option like this is available, and the article already has as many images as it can reasonably hold. Whatever you decide to do should be done soon, however; this has been sitting for long enough. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:07, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I am not good at image editing, so I can't help with that. We could run it w/out an image, but I think it's a suboptimal, buraucracy-above-good-of-Wiki solution. But it is a minor issue. Last thought, however: we could slot it into the XMAS queue, perhaps? It is "just" 4 months away now :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:26, 22 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I have created a cropped image (right). Hawkeye7 (talk) 06:42, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I am fine with using that instead. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 14:11, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
