WS is now slowly developing with less conflicts. I guess you have moved away to other things, but would kindly like to ask you to support with vote here, so we can reach the 25-30 votes minimum rule in order to be able to get local Checkusers, and get a local policy for CU, which will be the first step of developing more local solutions on WS.

Proposed deletion of Traveler DC-6300

The article Traveler DC-6300 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable product. None of the links currently included as External Links are viable reliable, secondary sources. Searching for additional sources only brings up sales/product pages, but no coverage.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

File:Tibia curta.jpg scheduled for POTD

Hi Lycaon,

This is to let you know that the featured picture File:Tibia curta.jpg, which you uploaded or nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for September 4, 2020. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2020-09-04. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!

Tibia insulaechorab, the Arabian tibia, is a species of gastropod mollusc in the family Rostellariidae, native to the western Indian Ocean. It was first described by the German malacologist Peter Friedrich Röding in 1798, the type locality being the Red Sea. He included it in the family Strombidae, but this large family was later split and the genus Tibia was transferred to the family Rostellariidae.

This photograph shows a dorsal view of a T. insulaechorab shell. Growing up to 20 cm (8 in) long, including the elongated siphonal canal, it is highly sought after by collectors because of its attractive appearance.
