  • Hit refresh Crisco 1492. I have overridden the main image so that it can be in all the articles without having to change every one of them to put in the new version. I created the other version for the FPN as to be able to show both. Since the OP decided to re-nominate the corrected version, I went ahead and did the override and put the other up for deletion because it is now redundant.--Mark Miller (talk) 04:44, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
