- Comment – I like this image. FP criterion #5 says "It is preferable to wait a reasonable period of time (at least 7 days) after the image is added to the article before nominating it, though this may be ignored in obvious cases". I suppose this is an obvious case, though most nominators would wait. Same with your other nominations. On a sidenote, it would be nice if the article had a little more info about the current state of the town, for example population, if it's still sustained by coal mining and such.

- Support – it's a good lead image in both articles listed above. Bammesk (talk) 02:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Bammesk: For the record, adding an image where none existed is almost always a good reason to ignore the waiting rule, in my opinion. No-one's going to say no image is better than an image, unless the image is so bad and misleading that it's never pass here anyway.
