Thanks, I will work on those. I didn't quite understand this sentence: "The only time that happens is when the blurbs have no good subjects for the photo."? Does photo of the day have any connection to any of the other things on the main page, like "did you know", or is it uusually totally unrelated. I guess my first step would have to be to get the photo in question into the "featured photo" collection. EMsmile (talk) 20:59, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, now I know what you mean. I wasn't actually referring to the picture that appears with "on this day" but the picture that is called "Picture of the Day", see here. I asked whether that picture ever has a reference to a UN Observance Day? And the format for "on this day" seems to have changed, I don't see the UN Observance Days mentioned anymore? For the 22 March the format was different if I remember right (is there a way of looking at how the 22 March 2017 main page looked like?). EMsmile (talk) 13:56, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• You can give it a shot. I knew the Homme au bain from being involved in FPC for six years. I can't recall any toilets being granted FP status.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:19, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. How about my question of a search tool for "Featured pictures" and for the Wikimedia Commons photos? Is there one or is the only option to use browse? The search field at the top doesn't seem to work properly but only brings up categories, not individual images. - Has anyone thought about including a Google site search?

By the way,

User talk:Howcheng, I have done some more work on the article (e.g. for "activities") so I think it is well deserving to be in the staging area list for "on this day". :-) I didn't pursue the thing with the photo of the day any further - that was too difficult to tackle for me.
