On 26 December, someone changed the image in the article. I was inspired to write this article because one of the images is due to be Picture of the day on 5 January 2021. I suggest this DYK should not be promoted until a decent time interval has elapsed after the POTD. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:31, 29 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
