2024-08-24: Suitability for POTD

Latest comment: 30 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Wikimedia Commons POTD is sometimes used as a source for lockscreen picture or desktop wallpaper. Some people in Russia could find themselves in an awkward situation when on this day someone notices a big Ukrainian flag on their wallpaper.

I think this image will be fine when the war ends (as it would've been before), but now it can be a problem, sadly so. CyberTailor (talk) 10:11, 4 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
