The Bootleggers

Very good, glad it made it to the main page. I calculated, looking at the views minus average day views, that 18% of readers who clicked on the painting's article during the time it was on the main page also clicked on the "List of paintings by..." in the See also section. Pretty good indication that adding lists there works well. Watching Jimmy Carter's funeral, met him once, a good guy. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:45, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
