Changing Capitol attack infobox photo?
Hello, I saw you suggested using one of my photos in the infobox for the attack, in [|your comment here]. I didn't comment in the Talk page since I'm not an objective judge, but I checked out the Infobox and frankly I think some of my relatively close photos of the struggle to take the middle East Steps are more compelling than several of the infobox ones. If you want to make the case to change to one of such of my photos, maybe displaying it as a thumbnail in a new Talk section and asking for agree/disagree from other contributors?

Totally realize I'm not a disinterested party, but I genuinely think at least one of mine is better than at least one of the three in the infobox. I'm not a paid photographer so I don't financially gain, but it's be a minor point of pride so I just wanted to touch base on the issue. Thanks!

 * @TapTheForwardAssist: Sure! Mind linking a couple, or pointing me to the gallery?  Spurrious Correlation  04:20, 10 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Apologies that I'm not sure how to show them in Gallery mode, but here's my contribs on WC: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/TapTheForwardAssist


 * You had on the Talk page suggested this one as possibly the best option, as it clearly shows a dense crowd having seized the East steps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DC_Capitol_Storming_IMG_7965.jpg TapTheForwardAssist (talk) 06:09, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks good. I've put it up as of a minute ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2021_storming_of_the_United_States_Capitol&oldid=999738587  Spurrious Correlation  18:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * thanks for your objective take; I really felt it was a better choice due to showing the density and architecture clearly, but I didn't want to come across as self-promoting so thought it best to consult with you. I'm very glad that my work is of use in illustrating this historical event! TapTheForwardAssist (talk) 20:25, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No worries! And don't get too frozen by the idea you would be "self-promoting". Wikipedia encourages editors to be bold!  Spurrious Correlation  22:00, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
