Nahshon Dion Anderson in Selected Picture list
In
these edits, 70.23.215.46(
talk·contribs·WHOIS) added an image of
Nahshon Dion Anderson to the selected picture list. It's not a featured picture and the editor appears to be a SPA around Anderson. Would someone mind reviewing this to see if this makes sense here? There's only one other image on Commons and I don't think it's any better quality. Thanks. Ravensfire (

"Portal:Idaho" has been resurrected.
Not sure how many places it needs to get "put back"; I am only handling pages in
Category:Idaho for now. But, please, feel free to list other "U.S." pages that list "State" Portals as a reply to this notice.
