  • Comment – Official govt. photos usually aren't of much reader interest, IMO. – Sca (talk) 13:05, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not sure that's a great rule when it comes to underphotographed countries. For America, sure. Bolivia.... Weak Support because the composition of a busy painting behind him weakens it too much for me. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.7% of all FPs 19:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
